Very nice university. I like the smaller studygroups with a teacher, and the combination with lectures (also recorded). Close to the city centre and the other faculties.

The enrolling system and exam season are well organized. It's really work-study friendly for people who study and have a job. It's also exchange student friendly, there are lots of exchange students around in different degrees.
