Not an easy choice. Big city or rural idyll, traditional or modern, small and manageable or large and lively? There is a university or college in almost every larger German town. Subject and reputation certainly play the main role in most people’s decision in favour of a particular institution. But choice of location is also important: smaller towns are often better for finding affordable accommodation and it’s easier to settle in because everything is closer together. Big cities usually offer more international flair and a broader range of cultural events. Student infrastructure is particularly prominent in typical German university towns like Münster, Tübingen and Greifswald.
