Comentario personal
Polarbaer was the hip hangout. Also, in the summers, the beer gardens ("Bierkeller"in is what the Bambergers call them) were the places to find the young people.

Si lo hubiera sabido...
I think being totally clueless when I arrived added to the experience.

Recomendación personal
Most people when they decide to go to Germany want to go to Heidelberg or Tuebingen. Bamberg is a much better choice. There are fewer Americans - so you have to meet people from other places. Also, the office of foreign students is very active and takes the foreign students on great trips (skiing, Lake Constance, etc.). The German instruction is fantastic, and the city is truly one of the most beautiful in Germany. I recommend Bamberg with absolutely no reservations!

Well, at German universities, the quality is questionable as compared to the Anglo-American system. Professors are pretty aloof and unavailable and the courses are generally not examined, so there is no good incentive to put effort in. The ones that are graded are done so with a long paper and a presentation, which can be difficult if in a foreign language.

Comentario personal
Other than completely reworking the German university system, probably not. Having also studied at a larger German university, Bamberg was far better. But it's still the bizarre German system.

Comentario personal
My German was not great when I arrived in Bamberg. But the German as a foreign language department was very good and with all the socializing I did, my German was actually pretty fluent upon departure. But this only happens if you spend a whole year abroad. It takes about 5-6 months to get used to the concept. After that is when your language improves. Bamberg can be a bit tough because of the dialect, but the dialect actually is a conversation piece when you don't understand the locals. They often want to enlighten you on Franconian!

Costumbres personales de gasto
Cost of living in a small Bavarian city is far less than that of Washington, DC. Students from less urban areas in the USA found Bamberg to be comparably priced.

Comentario personal
The telephone is a shock in Germany. Very expensive.
And Germany has a great evening about once a month called Spermuehl, on which people put out their random "trash" that we would normally save for a yard sale, and it just sits on the street overnight and people go and rummage through it for treasures. I found lots of good pots and pans that way!
