I took more opportunities to travel around and abroad, so it costs.
Price level is higher in Munich than the rest of Germany (except a few other places) and most W. European countries.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I had an apartment in a big student dormitary in Munich. It was easy to meet other young people there, but since I had my own room, it was also easy to find peace and quite when ever I felt like that.

Munich is a VERY expensive city. Travel prices were very reasonable but I travelled a lot more, and, I suppose went out a lot more than I would have done at home.

Of course one feels limited by the foreign language. My own contributions in class would have been more vivid, had my german been better. As it is, I've done well enough, but had been able to perform better if in another language.
