What can Dresden offer as a university city?

The Elbe valley, where the capital city of the state of Saxony is located, is one of Germany's most scenic landscapes. Besides all of the advantages of a major city, Dresden is also a great base for excursions into the surrounding nature; for example, the famous 'Saxon Switzerland' national park area is very near. The city's cultural life is extremely diverse, and nearly no other German city is home to as many sophisticated student clubs as Dresden, which is surely of interest to anyone interested in studying here.
