Make sure you start looking for accommodations early. It is very difficult to find an accomodation in the city of this university. Attend all(if possible) the Orientation programs in the beginning which are provided for new students. These programs provide many necessary information. Also, if you are interested in the language course at the university, do not wait for the application deadline for that course and apply as early as possible, especially if you are interested in the beginner level of German language courses.
