In our article, we take you on an exciting journey of discovery and compare the flair of charming small towns like Görlitz and Zittau with the exciting vibes of the big city. Discover the coolest aspects of both worlds and find out which study location will get your adventure started!

Advantage 1: Relaxed study and save money vs. big city hustle and bustle

In small towns, you'll find a quiet environment that's perfect for focusing on your studies and saving money. Big cities, on the other hand, offer you a more exciting city life and more cultural activities, but also a higher cost of living.

Advantage 2: Sense of community and leisure activities - small town vs. big city

Small towns score points with a strong community and many opportunities to make friends. In big cities, you have a wider range of leisure activities, but it can be more difficult to make friends.

Disadvantage 1: Nightlife and leisure activities - small towns vs. big cities

Of course, there is less nightlife and leisure activities in small towns compared to big cities. If parties are your thing, this could be a minus point. Big cities offer you more opportunities to go out and enjoy the nightlife.

Disadvantage 2: Job opportunities after graduation - small towns vs. big cities

Job opportunities after graduation are more limited in small towns, which can be a challenge - but doesn't have to be. You have better networking opportunities in big cities.

Conclusion

Whether a small town or a big city is the right choice for you depends on your personal preferences and goals. Weigh up the pros and cons of both options and decide which suits you and your lifestyle best. Whether you choose a small town or a big city, exciting experiences and new challenges await you!
