But if I am accepted, I will be moving to the east, and checking on the internet, it seems the cost of living is lower but at the same time Jena seems to be a thriving industrial center for high-tech optics and such as well as the famous university.
By all accounts Jena is a kick-butt town. Zeiss Optics is one of the few DDR companies that wasn't looted during reunification. They managed to turn themselves around and now, along with the university, make Jena a true economic success story. A doo run-run-run, a doo run-run
Hope the paperwork all works out for you soon!
Jena meetup?
