Which places do you recommend to go out to party in Berlin?
It depends on individual taste but there is often a great atmosphere in the Warschauer area.
Any advice you want to give to future students in Berlin?
Ask for a card which says you're going to be there for x months at the company where you are going to do the internship or for a certificate at the university, where it says you are a student. This way, you can get the monthly transport pass for the AB zone of Berlin. If you want to buy a bicycle, go to the Mauerpark market on any Sunday. You will find cheap bikes there but always ask for ID from whoever is selling them, as well as the bike number (there are many stolen ones and it get can you in trouble). However above all, enjoy the experience to the maximum as Berlin offers many possibilities.
