Saarbrücken — A place to study?

Saarbrücken has a high proportion of students, measured by the number of inhabitants. On the one hand, this is due to the wide range of subjects offered by its university, and on the other hand, it is certainly due to the environment offered to students here.

For a city of its size, Saarbrücken has a rich cultural offering. Both theater lovers and moviegoers will find what they are looking for here. The heart of Saarbrücken is known for its numerous restaurants, especially on the St. Johanner Markt, the busiest part of the old town. Seven clubs, which cover the entire spectrum of danceable music, invite you to “get down”. The proximity to France is palpable everywhere and makes Saarbrücken a special place in the heart of Europe, where “savoir vivre” is more than a mere phrase.

In contrast to other large German cities, the cost of living is within reasonable limits, and rents are bearable. Saarbrücken’s transport links are good despite, or perhaps because of, its peripheral location. The city can be reached by car, rail and air, and as of this year, finally also with an ICE connection.
