In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice

Personal recommendation
Bamberg is a lovely pretty little village-but it is no Munich. Nightlife is limited but that did mean that we made firm friendship groups and you basically new everyone when you went out. Good location to travel from-skiing in Austria, Prague, Munich. Was excellent for a semester but after that you may want a bit more!
