In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Don't think a little town could be boring because in Eichstaett you will find everything that you need and people who can help you everywhere if you try to be kind and polite like german people! Don't break rules, because the Germans could be very strict with people that don't respect contracts or accomodation rules.

Academic
Course recommendations
Attending all courses for all their duration is fundamental. Foreign students are followed and helped from professors. Little classrooms with a few students permits you more to interact during the classes.

Improved a lot my German knowledges. Together even with foreign students I used to speak German. I forgot a bit English! It was almost impossible sometimes what local old people were telling to you because of their Bayerisch strong dialect performances!

Personal spending habits
Life costs in this little town were lower than in my city in Italy. Rents are lower in Germany than in Italy. Disco's entrances costed 2,50-5,00 euros compared to the expensive costs of 12-16 euros in Italy. Beer costed the same as water with discounts for students, but people prefered drinking tap water.

Personal comments
Copies for academic books were expensive, you couldn't copy an entire edition because of author's rights. Academic books were also very expensive but not always demanded from professors who gave students lots of slides and copies to study.
