I really can't comment about this because I don't know the University as yet. I'll be in Hamburg only from October onwards. But aqs far as I know is a very nice University, with a very nice reputation.

I can't say whay are the best/ my favourite night spots because I'll only have the chance to know it from October onwards - when I'll start the Erasmus program in Hamburg. But I believe that I'll love it.
