The room I had was pretty cool: not too big but enough for to live and study. Mine was without bathroom inside but for this reason the price was really cheap. Anyway the fact that the room was quite little was good cos have had less to clean and was easy to stay in cos u could have reached everything by liyng on the bed...no, am jokin it's not so little but anyway really confy.

Make sure you get a place in "Europahaus", as this is the best quality. However also the most expensive place (450 DM).

My project for my home university didn't really have much in common with what I was doing. The courses at Bochum didn't really convey either, but I enjoyed the courses that I did follow.
