Location and Staff
Situated entirely on one central campus, the university is located south of Regensburg's inner city on a small incline south of the River Danube, and directly adjacent of the A 3 autobahn. The university itself consists of 150 hectares (280 acres) of land.
Including the affiliated university hospital, the University of Regensburg has approximately 4,200 employees including 312 professors, and teaches about 16,000 students. The university's reputation and attractiveness is enhanced by the 2,000 year-old town of Regensburg, its scenic countryside, the Donautal (Danube Valley), modest living costs, a high density of bars and the nearby heights of the Bavarian Forest. Brisk cultural life both in the city and on campus provide great recreational opportunities, enhanced by a number of nearby lakes.

Famous quotes containing the word staff:
“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
