DHBW – BAD MERGENTHEIM
Bad Mergentheim, with its 22,000 inhabitants, is located in the scenic Tauber River Valley in southwest Germany. It is a town steeped in history. The Teutonic Order of Knights established its headquarters there in 1525 and built the castle whose mighty walls and domed towers still dominate the town. When its mineral springs were discovered in 1826, Bad Mergentheim grew into one of Germany's most celebrated health resorts. Today, its relaxed atmosphere, its elegant stores, cafés and restaurants, the wide spa gardens, and its pools, make Bad Mergentheim an attractive place for living, working and studying.
Courses offered at this school:
BUS 340, BUS 465,ECO 112,FIN 460,GER 111,MIS 375

Heidenheim is a bustling city of about 50,000 on the Brenz river in southwestern Germany. Its history goes back to the Roman Empire, and many centuries-old buildings still stand. At the same time, Heidenheim is a modern urban center with good shopping and many cultural and sports events.

Mosbach, a municipality of 25,000 inhabitants, is located in the heart of the scenic Neckar River Valley nestled among ancient castles and steep vineyards. The picturesque Old Town with its restored half-timber houses from the 15th and 16th centuries gives the city a medieval flavor.

Keeping Textbook Costs Down
As college costs continue to climb faster than inflation, and we operate a quasi-monopoly on many items sold on campus (such as Pepsi and many textbooks), there is an opportunity for finding ways to offer our students more choices. We can educate our students without them going broke in the process. On Monday, Mar. 12 from 3:30-5 in OGC 114, anyone interested in exploring ways to lower classroom-related costs, especially textbooks, is welcome to join the conversation. Faculty are encouraged to bring your syllabi and/or book orders (due Mar. 15) and explore how to reduce the need for students to choose between groceries and textbooks (a choice with which too many of our students today are faced). Students and staff participation is particularly encouraged. A good education shouldn't have to cost as much as it does these days, and there are some simple things we can do to help lower those costs.
