Coming from the other side of Germany I wasn’t sure what to expect from suddenly living in Bavaria but it was the best decision I ever made to study in Passau. The city is very beautiful and just perfect for students: not expensive to live there, a variety of student associations and everything very well reachable by foot, bike or public transport (which is free for students). One of the student’s associations, AEGEE-Passau, also organises orientation weeks and more events during the semester for all international students that will make it easy to find friends very fast and also for German students it is a great way to connect. What I love about Passau university is that there are a variety of language classes that are available for everyone who is interested and the high number of partner universities. I can highly recommend studying here!
