Final comments
Avoid drinking Paderborn Gold, the local brew. Yuck. Try Warsteiner, it's much better.
Shop at Klingenthal, that's where I worked, lovely people.
Enjoy as many Schuetzenfests as you can get to.

At Paderborn you have lot of churches, a cathedral and it expands to bigger students country. Visit it, life it and love it. Paderborn is a place with lot of opportunities. Big companies are their like: Stute, Benteler, Nixdorf and more. Perfekt infrastructure let you be at 3 hours at all places in Germany. It is small, but big inside opportunities for future.
