Personal recommendation:
It is great university for those who care more about academic achievements rather than social engagement. This is tipical university town, so there is not so much to do unless you are prepared to travel to Stuttgart (around 40km). But the atmosphere for studying is great.



FINAL COMMENTS

The most important thing is to speak at least a little bit German. Although university staff is very friendly and speaks English, outside of the university only German is spoken. Although there is not much sightseeing in Tuebingen it is quite conveniently situated not far from other cities. Also it is not very far from Switzerland and many students go there for a weekend. If there is a chance it is better to rent a room/flat individually since dorms are quite noisy. In case there are no rooms in Tuebingen itself, other towns like nuertingen are worth to have a look. The train fares are quite expensive but comfortable and fast.

FINAL COMMENTS

Be prepared to study like you never have before if your German is not up to par before you arrive. Also the matriculation process is terribly complicated, be sure to have someone who has done it before help you.

FINAL COMMENTS

It's a great idea to study abroad for a full year, because you almost need one semester to get adjusted to the way things work, and then you can take on more serious academic work the second semester, or complete your work more efficiently.

If you possess dual citizenship with Germany and don't have time/don't wish to fulfill your military obligations to Germany during your study abroad experience, register as an American. This will save you from having to deal with the Army.

Simply put, Tuebingen has a great University. The Tufts program provided an ideal way of getting situated in the town and with classes. It is also a very well respected program that grants credit that most, if not all Universities will honor. I heartily recommend Tufts in Tuebingen.



FINAL COMMENTS

I'm more of a city person, so I regretted not studying in Berlin or Munich. Still, there are ways to go out and have a good time, and the academics are frankly much better in Tuebingen than elsewhere. More than anything, my time in Germany gave me an opportunity to relax from the stresses of American institutions. I had a great time and very much miss the place now!!! I only wish I had had the time to study there for two semesters instead of one.

Tuebingen is a great city, but i will say that after a total of 1 and a half years, i would not study there again. It gets smaller and smaller each week after about 7 months. But seriously, this is what my girlfriend calls a "Super-Uni." The programs are great and they have a good setup to take care of students.

With a university from 1477 and 21000 students and 9000 university employees living in a comparatively small city of 85000 inhabitants, Tübingen is a true university city with a unique atmosphere. Still some of the best opportunities of getting to know local people can be found outside the student environment.
