Life in Clausthal

Clausthal-Zellerfeld impresses with its manageable size. It is easy to find your way around after just a few days and there is always a familiar face nearby. In addition to the university facilities, attractive cultural and leisure activities are within easy reach. In addition to the city's special events, there are many activities organized by the university and the students themselves. For example, there is the symphony orchestra, the big band, the university choir, the theater group, the Science on the Rocks association, model airplane builders, the scientific diving group - and, and, and.

The flair of the city in the countryside is perceived by many as an advantage: no big city hustle and bustle, short distances, you quickly feel at home. It is easy to go home when there are gaps in lectures. This gives students time to live and study. Even a trip to the district town of Goslar takes less time than a trip from the outskirts of a big city to the center. And the student parties in Clausthal don't end with the question: How do I get home now? You simply walk. Most apartments can be reached in less than ten minutes from the campus. The pubs and cafés in the city center are also close by.
