Final comments
It's easy to travelto other places, because it's so close to everything! Venice is just a nighttrain away, Budapest, Vienna and Salzburg are even nearer. We went to the beaches of Croatia over a extended week end and enjoyed sun, sea and good food.
The night life in the city is great with alot to choose from, not only student activities.
