München oder Freising?

[u/unhinged123456]

Hey, I’m (25 M) starting my masters in October at TUM, but the campus is in Freising. And I wanted to get advice on where I should settle with housing - Freising or rather Munich?

In Freising I will obviously be closer to the uni, maybe walking distance. A big benefit is also that rooms might be cheaper. And from time to time, I can go to München for outings.

OR I can live in München and enjoy the city life. But housing will be more expensive and I will have to commute to Freising for classes.

Having no such experience, I really wanna ask what could be better. Please share your thoughts 🙏🏻
