Housing

Type of housing: A room exchange

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

Because I would have more interaction with people of the country and because there would be more people and it often means more activities. Also, it ussually means close to the University and there are the libreries which are very important as a student.

Final comments

Be prepared to spend a lot of time & energy in getting fully settled: looking for a nice (& payable!) room, getting all the administrative papers right, choosing your courses, etc. The sooner you get this settled, the better!

Personal comments

Well, payin a mothly ticket for the train is lot cheaper as if you had to pay anytime you use it. Also there exists a Bahncard, which you cna bay for a period of one year and then you get a 50% descaunt, which is good when you have to travel often.
