“I can definitely recommend Graz. You can really exert yourself here or just take things incredibly easily – it’s up to you. It’s a city that simply has everything you need, and you can get everywhere quickly on foot or by bike. Besides being unbelievably pretty, with parks, a lot of green space, a palace, the river and lots more, Graz is also packed full of fun-loving people. If I had to pick out three good things about the place? The consistently nice weather. The wonderful food, with a lot of local specialities such as pumpkin-seed oil. And, of course, our University, which is definitely the most student-friendly one far and wide.”
