Final comments
I loved studying in Konstanz and I am sure you will too, especially if you like travelling around. Konstanz is truly located in the heart of Europe, although you have to go elsewhere (Zurich in Switzerland or Stuttgart/Frankfurt in Germany) to find a big international airport. Its closeness to Switzerland (15 mins with a bicycle!) makes it easy to go on short trips to this wonderful country and many others in Europe.
