Bremen is close to many beautiful cities and countries, apart from the fact that it is very nice. Otherwise, it's hard to tell anything more.

I wish I had known...

My international peers studied more than I did so maybe I should have chosen a university where people don't study as much.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Don't come here if you want to experience German culture. You have to travel around a lot to maximize the experience.
