Next year I spend my academic year abroad in a german-speaking country. I have a few choices, and quite a bit of information to get through regarding these candidate locations.
However, I'm wondering could people with first-hand knowledge of these places provide me with information regarding what it'd be like to live there, especially in terms of nightlife, the music scene, expenses and availability of accommodation.... Generally what it's like living there.
I expect people will only be able to furnish me with information regarding nightlife and the music scene, but, as always, i'm just risking me arm.
The prospective locations are:
.Vienna .Bielefeld .Karlsruhe .Saarbrücken .Stuttgart .Trier .Tübingen .Osnabrück .Munich .Bremen
Thanks.

should've really written "Helfen, bitte", shouldn't i.
"achtung, bitte" is almost a clash of politeness. hrmm

Could you give me any reasons why?
I've been to Munich once - in fact it's the only place in Germany i've ever been.
It's ultra conservative, but the nightlife seemed fairly hopping, and the girls were <3.
Still, i can never get over the memory of going up to a group of hardcore punk / anarchist types in a park, asking them whether they knew where we could get any weed, and them laughing and telling us weed is impossible to get around Munich because of the police and the society; it's that way because it's so looked down upon.
Not that i want to go on a big drugs bender, but.. that's not a very good indication, for me, of a good fun city..

do like the entire population of Germany, or in fact any country in Europe, does - come and visit the Netherlands as a drugs tourist.
the local populace really enjoys that! :P

already done it <3
sure that shit's stopping after the new year, innit? you'll need a dutch passport (or, i guess, convincing command of dutch and a dutch accent) to buy weed in a coffeeshop.. that's what i thought anyways

because all those other cities (with exception of Bielefeld, Trier, Tübingen and Osnabrück which i don't know) seem to be a bit unfiendly in those terms you mentioned above...but then again this has a lot to do with me disliking germany..

too bad you can't choose Berlin, you'd meet up with Jamie Lidell maybe. Berlin is alright.

I have heard very good things about Vienna. The only other place i have been on that list is Osnabrück but i only really saw the train station so i can't say anything about it.
I know someone from Trier, he says it's really nice.
So either Vienna or Trier.

hmm well what do you wanna know ? nightlife is like clubbings and house music shit. ~1 time a month there`s some different happening, breakcore, gameboymusicclub whatever. from what i`ve been told vienna is quite ok while going out. personally i find it quite boring ... however i live here too long to be objective ;)
living depends on how much you earn, lets say 200-400 in a shared space per month, 300-3000 for a flat :)
send me an email if you want sepix [ta] sepix.net
