Why did you decide to study in Magdeburg?

Magdeburg has much to offer in the field of Neuroscience. Well-equipped laboratories, good research and nice people convinced me to conduct my Ph.D in Magdeburg.

How did you prepare for your stay in Magdeburg?

The first months I had the chance to stay in accomodations that are provided by my institute. So it was very easy for me to start my life in Magdeburg and I had enough time to look around and find an own place to live.

What do you especially like about Magdeburg? Why is Magdeburg a good place to study?

Apart from the good scientific environment, there are many green areas close to the river that are great for doing sports or BBQ in summer. Many students make the city more appealing to young people and the rents are comparably low in Magdeburg.
