Personal comments
O'Donnovans Irish pub lays all others to waste! Guiness and Strongbow my friends! The atmosphere is good and the owner is nice, although he may hit on you if you are a pretty girl. Clubhaus can be fun, but its always PACKED...stay away from ZOO!! The 16 year olds look 20...beware!

Housing
Type of housing: WHO Student Village
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
WHO is great but sometimes getting a bus up there after a night of partying (Especially on weekdays) is a pain. Also, the Altstadt has amazing old apartments

Personal comments
The key here is getting lucky with good roomates. I was blessed with 4 out of 5 roomates being awesome. Some arent so lucky. Tuebingen is a very diverse place, so expect some culture clashing

Personal spending habits
I got ripped off on my Cell Phone deal, but thats about it. The trains are getting very expensive in Germany because the Bahn is going down the crapper. Check out the cheap flight airlines on the internet!

Personal recommendation
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.
