I had no problems at the uni in regard to understand the lecturers but to understand students was sometimes impossible. There were no real social contacts between natives and international students.

Overall, the language was easy, due to it being my native tongue. There were certain times the accent gave me a few problems, but I soon caught on. It is most important not to be rude when you do not understand, ask for repetition, or just smile and nod!

The courses were really interesting with the opportunity to take optional courses from other fields of studies going beyond a pure law degree. Teachers were nice and helpful as well as the career service.

Housing
Type of housing: shared university flat
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?

Living in a shared flat was fun. Since it was a university flat it meant that all maintainance was taken care of. The only minor disadvantage was that you couln't choose you flatmates, so some matches weren't as fortunate as out flat was.
