What advice would you give future students heading to Hamburg?

If you want to come to Hamburg, come in the summer. Because in the summer you can go to the city park for a barbecue or chill on the Elbe beach. Unfortunately, the weather is not always sunny, so be sure to bring an umbrella, because it rains often.
