Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The superb cocktail bar Mojito's at the Rathausplatz, Times bar near the campus is a cool hang out with excellent food. Don't miss out on the snowboarding/ skiing which is only half an hour away, and the people are really friendly. Bernd and Peter in the International office are good friends as well as mentors!!
