“The city of Freiburg is a university city, so there will be always lots of students everywhere. This means that you will probably have lots of good time and make a lot of friends. It is also a very beautiful town, with a very old history and architecture, situated just at the foothills of the Black Forest” (Vlad Strimbu, former Master student from UBC).
