Overall
Die Professoren sind sehr ambitioniert und wollen alle am liebsten selbst den nächsten Wirtschaftsnobelpreis gewinnen.
Das bedeutet auch, dass es sehr hohe Anforderungen an die Studierenden gibt, die Lehre jedoch meistens nicht so gut ist.

I found a little hole in the wall bar called Acud that had great live music and an ecclectic clientel. There are cafes everywhere and events going on all the time. Berlin is a city full of life.

I have no favorite places: all the cafes, restaurants, etc, were wonderful.
berlin is one of the worldwide capital cities of culture... museums, art galleries, operas, theathers, and many, many History (the wall, checkpoint charlie, humboldt univerity, Brandemburg door, reichtag...)
