How does that even work, you just travel back for the exam?
I could stay I think up to 12 months after graduating. And it was entirely up to you when you wanted to graduate after fulfilling the criteria. I myself took the papers half a year after finishing my master's thesis, and then left the student apartment half a year after that.

No clue. I had a boyfriend at the time, so I stayed at his place. Other people did similar things. Or just slept on the sofa in the common area, while the students who stayed in the dorms would let them in through the main door.
I have also traveled before finals, only to show up for the last day final. Finals aren't all scheduled in the same day for every class. It can be spread out over weeks across a campus in the USA.
