Bamberg University Masters International Software System VS Hochshule Fulda Global Software Development
Hi there All,
Hope you people are doing well, I just want the opinion of the people in this subreddit. I got admission in Bamberg University ISoSy program and I like the program but the thing there is another program i.e. Global Software Development and that program also align with my interest. As I am intrigued with both the programs I decided to take in to account other pros and cons regarding both towns.
If you people can point some things and give suggestions about both towns it will be help a lot in my decision making.
One drawback that I my self found out is that Bamberg doesn't not provide free traveling in it's state whereas Fulda semester ticket covers all over Hesse. So the commute from Bamberg to other cities like Nuremberg and Erlangen will be expensive I am guessing if I have to commute to other cities for part time jobs. Let me know your opinions in this matter as well.
I have been working in the industry for 3.5 years as full stack developer.
Thanks in Advance.

Is that a rhetorical question asking about a Franconia or Hesse choice? Truely asking about a choice between an UNESCO world heritage city, the secret german beer capital located inmidst of a lot of more beautiful cities like Coburg, Bayreuth, Nuremberg or Würzburg nearby and a boring catholic administrative city inmidst of nowhere in Hesse?
As a Hessian, I'd second this. Fulda is rather bland and boring. The cathedral is nice and it has a bit of an old town center, but that's about it.
Anyways, as an international student, it probably doesn't matter that much, as they have communities (both internationals and students) in any university town/city, as far as I can tell. Franconia is a more interesting region then East Hesse, by far, though.
This is pretty much a no-brainer as u/nurely spelled out.
However as a person from Kronach, I dutifully have to dispute Coburg being in his list.
Seriously though, I don't think the semestre ticket should matter that much. In terms of day to day commutes, you should be able to handle everything by bike in Bamberg, as for trips on the weekends and such there are cheapish options like the Bayernticket, especially if you travel in a small group. That is if you even want to leave Bamberg that often, which will definately be the case in Fulda... I mean you can occupy your weekends quite well in Bamberg if you want to try every available type of beer there.
Just word of advice: Rauchbier is not for everyone and generally only tastes after the 2nd to third one, so if you are not prepared to force down the first two or not planning to drink more than 4 half litre beers in the first place, don't do it!
