St. Gallen and the arrival
St. Gallen is not exactly centrally in Switzerland, many questions even why one has actually "created" an internationally known University of Economics in St. Gallen and not, for example, in Zurich. The explanation lies in the basic formation of the HSG. End of the 19th Century saw the embroidery and textile industry in St. Gallen their heyday, in this time was the University of St. Gallen, founded to train leaders for the local industry.
So how does one to St. Gallen?
Many students rely on public transport, so SBB, bus, etc. This is certainly the best option to get from A to B, but need some cutting back in the comfort and flexibility are made. From Zurich it is a little over an hour to the Inter-City train in St. Gallen retract from Munich should be three hours, included with the best connection. Stuttgart is even almost four hours by train.
Students from Switzerland, the train is, therefore, a good alternative, because the journey time is roughly the same as by car. For students from adjacent countries to travel by public transport is a bit cumbersome and takes some time.
For drivers under the student turns out to be the city of St. Gallen as a rather suboptimal - Parking at the university, few are available, but often occupied. In the city center can not be parked really must be here to fall back on the car parks. Therefore, it is also recommended for drivers to rent an apartment and as central to bite the bullet of higher parking fees.
Rents for this are in the Swiss city comparisons but still acceptable, so does a long-term tenants at the Park House Brühltor the middle of town just CHF 200 - per month. In comparison, must be in "Downtown Switzerland", that Zurich, in the park Hohe Promenade from CHF 340 - in the car park in Bern Metro Fri 550th even - to be paid per month. In general
recommends an apartment, which is in walking distance to all important half-way places. These important sites can be reduced in principle to two, and university marketplace.
Why, yes it has enough buses? Yes, this is precisely the problem. The appearance of a very good bus network is brought, in fact, however, finished the evening at half-first During the day the buses are sometimes too late - it has to get used to it or not.
My recommendation: A car is in combination with a central flat is the best (and most expensive) alternative. The flexibility is much higher, making trips into the beautiful Apenzellerland or to Lake Constance is much easier but also the daily activities such as shopping, glass, etc., are easily taken away by the hand.
The only question is which one of these in comfort is worth it!
