    Wurzburg

    There's a physics student exchange thing going on this summer, where I get to work at Wurzburg for a couple months (and get to go whatever I want in Europe for another month). How is it there? Anything interesting to do? Does the music scene there involve something other than techno? Any fine breweries in the city?

    To the physicists who might know anything about the university (Rogan?), are there any neat things happening there? How are their biophysics and enviornmental physics research in particular?

    And how easy and cheap is to travel? Where should I travel to (Barcelona, Venice, Rome, Paris, Nice, London, and naturally Amsterdam come to mind)? What's the usual cost of living for a tourist student that doesn't care about anything besides good food?

    And of course how 'bout a Euro Poly meet some time between June and August?

      If there are any fine breweries? Würzburg in Bavaria, for crying out loud. And as far as I remember, the train connections out of Würzburg to other European destinations are quite good, too.

        You should really consider learning German while you're there. Your English indicates some general skills in the field of languages and if you're good at the natural sciences as well, an organized and structured language like German should come to you naturally. Or so I'd believe, anyway.

          Monk, unfortunately I'm totally inept in language skills. Of the two languages I've "learned" after my childhood, French and Spanish, I've largely forgotten. But I'll give German a shot. In fact, I plan on taking a class in it next semester. Not that it'll amount to much.

                            I don't really know anything about Wurzburg or the local university, but like Monk said, you're in Bavaria so there should be enough breweries. And all university towns I know have a pretty decent nightlife, I don't see why Germany should be any different so that shouldn't be a problem either.

                            The train connections are good, but from my experience international trains are fairly expensive. Cheaper than flying though. If you want cheap, your best bet is something like Eurolines, who do bus trips across all of Europe for a pretty low price. Paris, Flanders, Prague, Italy, and ofcourse Amsterdam are all nice places to go to.
