The Student Struggle

You're at LMU. Your friend is at the TUM campus in Garching.

Finding a place to meet that doesn't cost a fortune or a 1-hour U-Bahn ride feels impossible.

Solution: Target the student-friendly zones that are also midway points.

The obvious, but correct, choice. Meet around Universität or Theresienstraße.

The spots: Packed with affordable cafes, cheap döner shops, and student bars.
Why it's a great midway: It's literally between LMU's main campus and the U-Bahn to TUM. The U3/U6 line is your best friend here.
The vibe: Energetic, intellectual, and full of people your own age.
Top tip: Check out the Mensa (university canteen) for the cheapest coffee you'll find.

Enter from Universität and find a spot.

The spot: Free, spacious, and perfect for big groups.
Why it's a great midway: Directly accessible for LMU students, and a straight shot on the U6 for TUM students from Garching.
The cost: As cheap as the snacks you bring from home.

Parallel to the main drag in Maxvorstadt.

The spots: Lined with cool, independent cafes that are slightly less crowded than the main university area.
Why it's a great midway: Still in the university quarter, so it's a fair travel compromise for most students.
Look for: Cafes with student discounts or loyalty cards.

Take the U3 to Olympiazentrum.

The spot: Climb the hill for amazing views, watch people row on the lake, or just find a patch of grass.
Why it's a great midway: A fantastic option if one person lives in the north (e.g., a student dorm in the Olympic Village) and another in the city center.
Vibe: Sporty, open, and great for an active study break.
