Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It was great. This way I had German roommates (locals) which allowed me to get a greater appreciation of the local culture and it was also the cheapest accommodations available.

Personal comments
From what I have seen, there wasn't any bad option for housing in Paderborn. I still preferred the accommodations in a shared apartment (WG) than in dorms because that way I had German roommates and it was more affordable.

Personal comments
To pass some exams you have to spend some time on books, although night life is very attracting... but if you are exchange student many Profs do not make much problems and let you pass oral exams or prepare some houseworks.

Really great! You live in a normal flat, you have your own big room, fully furnished. there is equipped kitchen and living-room. the athmosphere was great (depends of course on your roommates..). close to the university - just to pass the street. fantastic place for grilling and chilling with other friends :)
