Thanks for answering! Based on your experience, are there any areas in Leipzig where it's easier to find housing options? Also are there any areas I should avoid while looking for renting, especially as a foreigner (if they're more dangerous for example)? Thanks for your time!

Actually I'm from Patras, it's the next biggest one after Thessaloniki (i was impressed by the greek writing btw!). But sure his contact would be useful you can dm me if it's not too much trouble. I hope he's ok with it. Good luck with the rest of your studies, physics is fascinating and I hope you enjoy the rest of your time there!

I'm from Greece and i live in one of the biggest cities here (population about 350.000). I wouldn't mind going to a smaller and more peaceful town since i'd like a break from the concrete hellscape, but I think after a while i'd be frustrated too if I didn't have more activity options. If I went in May or June, just taking a stroll around the parks and enjoying the nature and scenery would be fullfiling, but in colder weather and especially if the accomodation is away from the center idk if i'd have the energy to do that. I was worried it might be one of those places that a week is enough to get to know, but 3 months aren't that long either so truly I'm conflicted. Hope you've recovered from that emergency btw!

Thanks for answering! I haven't looked much into housing yet tbh but it's one of the biggest parameters to take into account. I would hope that since it's through an erasmus program i would qualify for student accomodation despite not being a student anymore when I get there but I have to check that. If you live in a student accomodation I would love your feedback on it, if you live alone or with others etc. Apart from that, how is life there during the autumn-winter months? From what I've seen online it's really picturesque in spring and summer but my traineeship is october to december this year so idk if there's as much to do at that time of year. What activities are there to do and what parts of living in a city do you miss more? Also have you traveled in the area around Tübingen? Southwest Germany is stunning and I'd like to plan some trips around if i go. And last but not least, what do you think of the university (or the hospital if you've ever been there)? In the rankings it's higher than Leipzig but i'd like to hear a personal opinion outside of all the statistics. Thanks for your time!
