Munich Study Saga: Cafés, Costs, and Crazy Weather
studying in munich feels like juggling lecture halls, cheap beer, and the endless rain that decides to show up any minute. i’m a budget student, surviving on instant noodles and the occasional pretzel from the bakery down the street. the city’s vibe is a mix of old stone and new tech, and honestly, it’s kinda chaotic but i love it.
## *English Garden Study Spots
i’m always looking for a quiet nook where the wifi actually works and the coffee isn’t 5€ a cup. the english garden is my go‑to, especially near the chinese tower where you can spread a blanket and pretend you’re in a photo essay. the vibe is chill, but watch out for the occasional drone photographer who thinks you’re part of their shoot.Theresienwiese* Nightlife Hacks
when the semester ends, the theresienwiese turns into a massive party zone, but you don’t need to drop 10€ on a beer to join the fun. hit up the student bars around laimer place; they serve half‑price brews until 10pm, and the crowd is a mix of locals and exchange kids who are just as broke as you. rumor has it that the old biergarten behind the beer tents still serves free water if you ask nicely (but i can’t confirm that).
