Roc:

“Weimar is like a mini Cambridge or Oxford. It's a city with an active student life and loads of libraries and study spaces. But it can also be really calm and quiet which is something that I really appreciate.”

Weimar – Small but Beautiful

This charming city on the Ilm is a Mecca for design fans with a livelyart and culture scene. It also caters to those who enjoy pub-crawling, offers affordable rents, short distances and cretive student initiatives. Instead of going to a large nightclub, people here dance under canopies, build soapbox carts or organise literature festivals. Those who prefer to fly under the radar, however, have their work cut out for them. In Weimar, everyone knows everyone and you'll run into people you know all the time – yes, even your professors.
