The reputation of the university, which can be very subjective, the quality of life of the city, as a leisure offer and pubs culture and the cost of living, which must not be too high. However, as SMAVA restricts, different things are important to every student!
Beer instead of career goal
The beer in the university pub, the cool party and a cheap, but centrally located shack are more important to students than their supposed career opportunities - that does not have to be bad, because how many good relationships already have with a beer in the corner pub started?
That should not only give German personnel in the search for new high-potentials to think. Also, most classical university institutions give a very one-sided picture.
Set your own criteria
This is what Smava wants to do with his ranking. For this purpose the 50 German top universities were rated according to the three factors.

How did the ranking "quality of life" come about?
The Quality of Life category summarized indicators that are particularly relevant to students' quality of life, such as the number of students in the city or the number of bars and clubs (in relation to population).
With many like-minded people around it is much more comfortable. In addition, we have added the number of bicycle thefts, since a good quality of life also means that one feels safe.
