As a city in the east, Magdeburg is not future students' first choice when it comes to applying for their university. This is also the reason why many students are from the nearest towns or only study here because no other university accepted them.
It's not a huge city like Berlin or Munich, so it might be boring and too calm for certain people. However, while the club offers are very limited, Magdeburg makes it up by offering other outdoor activites and restoring buildings and streets to make it look more appealing.
Furthermore, finding your first own studio is very easy, there are lots of offers and most of them are easily affordable. In general, it's not an expensice city.
The biggest problem would be that you might be confronted with right-winged people, but depending on which neighborhood you live in, it's easily avoidable.
