(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
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.
