There's a physics student exchange thing going on this summer, where I get to work at Wurzburg for a couple months (and get to go whatever I want in Europe for another month). How is it there? Anything interesting to do? Does the music scene there involve something other than techno? Any fine breweries in the city? 
To the physicists who might know anything about the university (Rogan?), are there any neat things happening there? How are their biophysics and enviornmental physics research in particular?
And how easy and cheap is to travel? Where should I travel to (Barcelona, Venice, Rome, Paris, Nice, London, and naturally Amsterdam come to mind)? What's the usual cost of living for a tourist student that doesn't care about anything besides good food?
And of course how 'bout a Euro Poly meet some time between June and August?

If there are any fine breweries? Würzburg in Bavaria, for crying out loud. And as far as I remember, the train connections out of Würzburg to other European destinations are quite good, too.

You should really consider learning German while you're there. Your English indicates some general skills in the field of languages and if you're good at the natural sciences as well, an organized and structured language like German should come to you naturally. Or so I'd believe, anyway.

I don't really know anything about Wurzburg or the local university, but like Monk said, you're in Bavaria so there should be enough breweries. And all university towns I know have a pretty decent nightlife, I don't see why Germany should be any different so that shouldn't be a problem either.
The train connections are good, but from my experience international trains are fairly expensive. Cheaper than flying though. If you want cheap, your best bet is something like Eurolines, who do bus trips across all of Europe for a pretty low price. Paris, Flanders, Prague, Italy, and ofcourse Amsterdam are all nice places to go to.

Don't come here. Nothing to see here, compared to other major cities in Europe. It might be even little cold..
Except if you go to maybe Stockholm, then it might be worth it to do a little weekender here, get on a cruice boat, drink yourself silly, watch out your back, and maybe even have nice intimate times with drooling and mumbling drunk finnish girls. They'll hook up with you, just speak english to them. They want to demonstrate that they can also speak english, so .. it'll be easy for you. But watch out for jealous guys, as you're being the ***** magneto. They can be *******s.... most likely not though. Then, have sex with all the women and have a nice day of hangover in Helsinki, check out some I don't know buildings and alcohol stores, don't buy anything, except from duty free.
Then go back to Stockholm, Swedish girls are NICE. Lots of hotties.. oh yes. Try to hook up with them, and go ride the stone lions. What else hmm... what is there to do in Stockholm.. hmm.. I guess lots, check out the old part of the city, which is convinientaly right there when you get out of the boat, and you might need few pointers from the locals what is worth checking out.
But if you're not about to come north, which I suggest, you'll get tips from the other eurobastards.

well, I'm stationed in Schweinfurt which is about 20 miles or so from Wurzburg. This is what I can say about the place.
The biggest attraction there is the Wurzburg residence, it's a UNESCO site, there's also a castle somewhere around there, but I've never been to it.
There are plenty of clubs and bars in the area, especially since there's a military post on base. I usually go to the Labryinth, which plays mostly rock/metal. Another big club is the Capital, which has different rooms playing different music.
There's a tram system that runs through the city making it easier to get around, but I'm not there enough to learn how to use it. It's a medium and you can get most items there.
Nearest large city is Frankfurt, about 2 hours by train, mostly a financial capital sort of like NYC. Prostitution is also big in Frankfurt, mostly because it's cheaper then elsewhere (30 Euro if I remember correctly).
Best time to travel by train is during the weekend, in which you can get a weekend pass good for that day for 28 Euro in which you can travel anywhere in Germany you want to go. It's only good for the slow trains though, and if your under 26 you get a discount.

best place to buy beer from in Bavaria is a from a monastary in Kreuzburg, right next to Wildflecken. You'll need to drive there (although it's probably possible to reach it by bus, but I'm not positive on this). You get a huge jug that can refilled, been rated the top beer in the world by Playboy, it's really good.
Local brew usually some form of Hefe Weisen (light beer), or a darker beer which I don't drink so I don't remember the name of. Don't remember if there any local brands particular to Wurzburg though.
Best places I found to go in terms of travel are Amsterdam, Paris and Prague, all of which can be reached by train in roughly 8 hours and 60-80 Euros going north, west and east respectively. Barcelonas nice, but it's a day travel and in my experience the spanish police are a little corrupt.
Munich's also a nice city to go to, has a very old feel to it, looks of great statues, local brews and Octoberfest also happens there. If your not into the crowds, check out local Volksfest, which are miniture versions of the same.

Weihenstephan isn't too good.
And you're supposed to post a pic of your face not your arse, if there is any difference.
