Final comments

it is maybe one of the few universities in Germany that has students from so many different countries. Iliked it as the language of instruction was in English (means had no no problems with the material whatsoever) and had the opportunity to be in a European country that the English is not the local language.

Personal comments

the cleaniness was not taken good care of and the space was limited-small rooms and common bathrooms and kitchens. But it was close to the classrooms, library and offices of the university. The contact with the students was more intense, than if i was to live off campus. It is also relatively cheap.
