Reach out directly to the international office. Small cities have great buddy programs, so be sure to join them. Don’t stay isolated in your dorm; go out and make connections.

It would be great if the university allowed students to do their thesis outside the university.

The quality of education and life is excellent in this small city with beautiful landscapes. The downside is the limited part-time job opportunities, which require traveling to a larger city.
