Night life was mostly organized by students of the University, especially by those on exchange programs. Actually the students built the atmosphere in the city and so called night city life. Nice places in GIessen, besides kitchens on campus;), were Scarable, News Cafe, Harlem. On Schiffeberg there are someinteresting events organized.
