Most of the ameneties needed for my accomodation for example bed linen and kitchen utensils were provided, so i was required to take any of my own items in these fields.

Was a very friendly environment and fellow students are extremely willing to help you find your feet and help out where needed. Was made to feel integrated and at home.

Final comments
The one downfall is that other students are very eager to gain english practice by talking to you in English, and this can be a negative experience if it means that you dont gain the German language practice, this can be made into a positive experience if it is a two way learning experience. If looking for an extra source of income, there is always opportunity to give paid English lessons either privately or at institutions in the city. You must make sure that your health insurance is organised before leaving your native country otherwise this can cause problems on arrival as you need it to be able to register at the university.

Course recommendations
If unsure about the content or your suitability to any courses, the departments are usually pretty helpful in guiding you and if you need to, for any reason dont be afraid to ask the tutor any questions, the professors of the courses which i followed were all very helpful.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
While appreciative of the social networking opportunities in a student dorm, at 25 years old, I desire my own place with more privacy.

Personal comments
The housing was better than expected, generally more spacious than accomodations at home.

Nothing I would really add here. I think learning the "system" and how to function in it is a better experience for people, than to try and study up on every possible situation that could arise in a foreign country. This helped me build confidence about my life here, that you can learn, figure things out, on your own. Everything will really be ok.

Personal recommendation
University should enforce class meeting times with teachers. A couple of teachers would change class meetings around to suit their personal needs, demanding students come to either a weekend of intense seminars (not a part of the original course listing), or to schedule two class meetings in one day.

No I was pretty clued in. I had discussed it in detail with people who had been there the year previous.
