I f some other students decide to study in Heidelberg,I would tell them to take advantage of their time spend there.
Heidelberg is close to Strasbourg, Paris, and many beautiful german cities,so they have no excuse for not visiting them

If you're going to Schiller be prepared for a wrldly education and not an academic one. Get the books and study by yourself, but don't count on getting the very best education.
