konstanz is a very nich city.The only unconfortable aspect has to do with travelling by train(because of the presence of the lake)...it takes a little more time than from other locations.Anyway there are several low cost companies flying from Friedrichshafen to the rest of europe

A really nice place to spend a year. The weather can be a bit depressing, but towards the summer, it becomes really nice and the lake is wonderful to have nearby. I made amazing friends and had a BLAST. Would recomend the experiance to anyone...oh yeah, don't miss Ali Baba's Doener kebaps on Bodan Platz!!! They're the best in town!

The town is rather small, but if you can cope with that, you really should go to Konstanz! The landscape is amazing and the locals very nice! :)

Improve the computer lab! :) At the time I was studying (winter semester 99/00) the computer availability was low and not completely satisfactory...

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.
