Lucky
The Auslandsamt found me a room in a Studentenwerk-wohnheim :). I had previously been told that this was as good as impossible, because of the student housing shortage in Heidelberg, but apparently it is possible. This time, it's on the East side of the city, about five minutes cycling from the Altstadt, in the Schlierbacher Schiff, which is unfortunately not a real ship, but still very close to the Neckar. Apart from the (usual) absence of internet, it is very nice:
In general, the whole interior of the building is quite reminiscent of UC. So, maybe my nostalgia has biased me in favour of this room, but I will take it nonetheless. So, you will soon see another report about a new room :).
The unfortunate part is that last week, I have made a number of friends on the SRH campus. I believe there are some ten or fifteen exchange students there, most of which I know by now, and most of which are nette Leute. But then again, nothing in Heidelberg is very far away, especially by bike, so that is not a real drawback.
Random fact of the day: about half the exchange students I meet here seem to be Italian. But they're nice as well :).
- it is in a slightly-smaller-than-UC-size Wohngruppe, i.e. unit or flat
- it has a kitchen, and a good one (for UC standards, at least): a four-plate stove and an oven
- the room itself is about 13 sq. m.

ach ja, het probleem met teveel vrienden... jij redt je wel. i hope the loss of room internet does not outweigh the advantages of different surroundings
I'm sure that will be fine, especially as I do have the option of getting internet in my room :). Only I'll have to find people to share a connection with, since they're quite expensive here.
do you also need to bring your own cup here?
No :). It has a kitchen, and no mensa, since it's not a campus, but just a student dorm. So I do need to bring my own cups and plates and cutlery and pans and everything, but I only need to bring it once.
