With half a million citizens it is a big town, but feels smaller. You can reach every important spot with the bycicle or with the "Üstra" (bus and subway). It is a very green city with a forest in the city and many other green spaces.

allround about 300-400 € rent, 150 € for food, 100 € additional living costs

It can be difficult, especially at the beginning of the semester. Try to search on different platforms and also in facebook groups.

Go to "Street kitchen" at the "Limmerstraße", fast, cheap and delicious.

Is the nightlife good in Hannover? Where is good to go?

Don't go to the clubs near the main station. I prefer "Weidendamm" or "Faust".
An other possibility is to go to the "Limmerstraße", drink a few freshly tapped beers from the Kiosk and see what happens.
