Good, because as I also know nothing about German geography, my clues were probably going to boil down to 'lots of people bike here' or things about the bus line and it would have been really weird and confusing.

I'm studying at the Universitaet Tuebingen, which is in the south, pretty close to Stuttgart. Tuebingen's basically a very laid-back university town - I thought it was pretty large when I got here, but then I realized that if you're actually awake and not trying to walk everywhere it's more of a reasonable size.
