Is it difficult to find accommodation in Stuttgart? Is there any advice you can give?

Apply early to the students' housing (Studierendenwerk) and even go there in person. That's usually the best way. Unfortunately there are a lot of liars concerning appartement listings and advertisements. But they are easy to expose. A good website for finding accommodation is WG-Gesucht.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

Again hipsters and kebab stores. But if you leave the centre, there are plenty of restaurants of different kinds of cuisine.

Feuersee is a really nice place to spend the morning or day.
