Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living in an appartement is the best solution in a city like Berlin. The costs are pretty good and normally you can find really nice accomodations. Living in a appartament, shared by other persons, is also a good opportunity to meet new people, from different cultures.

The housing at the Humboldt was really good organised. The Erasmus office answered to all my requests and necessities with efficiency and in a kind way.

arriving in Berlin without any knowledge of german language could be a problem if you want to follow the courses in the university. anyway, once you began the academic life you have to be follow all the lessons: the frequency is compusory 75%.

Course recommendations
A lot of english language ones are available for those not strong on the old germanic side of the fence. As these courses didnt count towards my degree classification I hit an intellectual highpoint with "Mediation and Negotiation Management"... got a 1st - shock / horror!

No pastoral care, get used to it... German Uni's have 30,000 students at a minimum - what'd you expect?
