Personal comments
In the international student resident ISR there is not actually that much rooms for international students as many of the rooms have been rented for local students.
Most of the Erasmus students had to find a place to live all by themselves. Some lived in pretty crappy conditions.
I lived at FMZ. It's a bit costly, but it was good.
