I'll be headed to Münich this fall (starting October) so I'm going to use this thread to compile the full A-Z experience. Primary purpose is university, but I also hope to try skiing (have never tried), immerse myself in the language, get a good wiff of that high German culture, and naturally, make the most of what opportunities there are.

So first things first:

Accomodation - I'd like to live with some Germans in order to A) have local friends + opportunities to practice German and B) keep overall costs down. How to optimize? What would a room in a decent place with good logistics and some cool roomies cost?

Pipelining: how long before heading down there should I start, and where?
