medium sized university in cute little city

The university of Bamberg has got four faculties that are all located in different parts of the city. I used to study economy bit then changed to history and politics. The bachelor in economy was quite boring and you only got the real basics of all the different topics. The classes are mostly attended by a lot of students, so it´s not personal to study. Furthermore, the building is a 70ies ugly building which is located in the east of the city center. This also applies for politics, but the history studies are located directly in the city and with that I mean really directly. You can even see the historic city center when you look out of the window. The classes are way smaller and it´s way more personalized. Bamberg isn´t the city for big parties until the sun comes up again, but it has got a lot of nice bars and is famous for its beer. Bamberg has got one of the highest concentration of breweries in the world. Since the city itself is very small, the number of students is clearly visible (around 70.000 inhabitants and 13.000 students). Student associations like AEGEE bring a lot of opportunities into the student life and make your student life a real adventure and a good time. If I would need to choose again, I always will choose Bamberg again, but mostly because of the gorgeous city and it´s flair than because of the university, which has got a medium level.

Nice place to be

I enjoyed learning at the university. The lectures were nice and students were nice to everyone, I found it easier to interact with everyone at school. However, life was tough in general due to lack of enough funds to support my student upkeep. But I recommend the school to anyone
