Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz

there was a lovely ice-cream cafe that sold real italian ice-cream and the best cakes I have ever tasted, unfortunately i cannot remember the name on the street it was on but if you went out the main entrance of the university and crossed the road and went straight down the main street until you just pass the asian food shop turn the corner first on the left and you can't miss it. It had a really nice atmosphere and outside as well as inside seating it was lovely in the summer!

night spots: unsin cafe, cinema events not to be missed: the mensa disco every thursday night, the summer party in july nad the parties organised by the different language departments. the town is very small, but there are plenty of cafes and pubbs that are always full of people, that´s why it is so easy to get to know everybody (both students and local residents)

Fasching in February - wonderfully colourful festival gives a real taste of life in Mainz. Good pubs were the little Weinstuben hidden in the Altstadt, aswell as the irish pubs and the night club "Red Cat".

Mensa disco- each week a kind of the disco in the campus... restaurant- dal pozzo, italian quisine cafe- Unsinn

Germany is not the best country for nightlife ;-) but ok, you can do some parties with friends

Summer and Winter parties on the campus student hauses, wendsday night at 50graad.
