Hi everyone,

I’m an incoming international Master’s student at TU Darmstadt (M.Sc. Information and Communication Engineering) for Winter Semester 2026/27, and I’ll be arriving from India around 1 October 2026.

I’ve been searching for accommodation for quite some time now but haven’t been able to secure anything yet. I’ve already applied to Studierendenwerk Darmstadt, contacted TU Housing International, comeTOgether, KHG/ESG student residences, Bauverein, WiF, and have also been searching through WG-Gesucht, WhatsApp groups and other housing platforms.

Studierendenwerk informed me that there are currently 3,700+ applicants on the waiting list, so I’m trying every possible alternative.

I’m looking for:

• A WG/private/student room
• Preferably around €300–400/month
• From around 1 October 2026
• Darmstadt or nearby places with a reasonable commute to TU Darmstadt
• Anmeldung should be possible

I’m also completely open to sublets, rooms from students going on exchange/internships, or taking over someone’s room.

If anyone here is moving out around September/October, knows someone who is, has a landlord contact, knows a useful WhatsApp/Telegram group, or has literally any housing lead, I would really appreciate it.

Also, if you’re a TU Darmstadt student who went through the same situation, I’d love to know how you eventually found your accommodation and which areas around Darmstadt I should focus on.

Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming Master’s student at TU Darmstadt for the Winter Semester and plan to arrive around October 1.

I’ve already applied through Studierendenwerk, contacted several WGs, and joined a few WhatsApp groups, but I haven’t found anything yet.

Is anyone else facing the same issue, or am I missing any useful platforms or methods? If you’re already studying at TU Darmstadt and know any contacts, available rooms, or reliable ways to find accommodation, please comment or DM me.

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I recently got admitted to the M.Sc. Information and Communication Engineering (iCE) program at TU Darmstadt for Winter 2026/27.

Would love to connect with fellow incoming students as well as current iCE/TU Darmstadt students and exchange info about the course, accommodation, student life, part-time/Werkstudent jobs, etc.

Feel free to comment or DM me. Would be great to connect! :)

Hey everyone, I got admits for TU Darmstadt – M.Sc. Information and Communication Engineering (iCE) and RUB Bochum – M.Sc. ETIT (Communication Systems).

I’m from an ECE background and interested in communications/DSP, AI/ML, embedded systems and possibly semiconductors.

Which would you choose considering course quality, Werkstudent/HiWi opportunities, internships/jobs, cost of living and career prospects in Germany?

Would love to hear from current students/alumni.

Hey guys,

I’m an international student from India and I’ve got admits from:

• TU Darmstadt – Information and Communication Engineering
• OTH Regensburg – Electrical and Microsystems Engineering

I’m really confused between the two.

I’m mainly interested in electronics, embedded systems and semiconductors. TU Darmstadt seems to have the better reputation overall, but OTH Regensburg feels more closely related to what I want to do, and Regensburg also seems to have a good semiconductor industry around it.

For someone who wants to get a Werkstudent job, gain industry experience and eventually work in Germany, which one would you choose?

Would really appreciate any honest opinions.

Hey everyone,

I’m an international student from India and I’ve got admits from:

• TU Darmstadt – Information and Communication Engineering
• OVGU Magdeburg – Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
• OTH Regensburg – Electrical and Microsystems Engineering

I’m really confused about which one to choose.

Should I mainly go based on the course I’m most interested in, or also give a lot of importance to university reputation, city life, cost of living, part-time jobs, Werkstudent opportunities, internships and future job prospects?

I’m mainly interested in electronics, embedded systems and semiconductors.

Which one would you choose and why? Would really appreciate any advice from students or people working in Germany.

Hi everyone, I’m currently waiting for application results from:

• HAW Hamburg – Information and Communication Engineering
• TU Chemnitz – Embedded Systems
• TH Köln – Automation and IT
• OVGU Magdeburg – Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
• TU Dortmund – Automation and Robotics
• Saarland University – Systems Engineering
• TU Darmstadt – Information and Communication Engineering
• Hochschule Kempten – Electrical Engineering

Has anyone received an admit, rejection, or status update from any of these universities?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for an affordable boys’/men’s PG near Thousand Lights or Nungambakkam.

If anyone knows any good budget-friendly PGs or has any leads, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to move to Regensburg for my master’s and wanted to know more about student life there.

How is Regensburg for international students? Are part-time jobs or Werkstudent roles easy to find, especially for English-speaking students?

Any general tips about the city, university life, jobs, or things to prepare before coming would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve joined the A2 Super Intensive course at Goethe-Institut, Nungambakkam branch, Chennai.

If anyone here has joined the same course, hit me up. Let’s connect!

Hi everyone,

I got admission to OTH Regensburg for Master Electrical and Microsystems Engineering for Winter 2026/27.

I wanted to know:

How is the course quality and workload?

How is OTH Regensburg for career/job opportunities after graduation?

Are part-time jobs available in Regensburg for international students?

How is city life, housing, and overall student life there?

Any honest reviews from current students or alumni would really help.

Hi everyone, I am an international applicant from India for Winter 2026.

I already have an admit from OTH Regensburg – Master Electrical and Microsystems Engineering, but I am considering applying to FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg – M.Sc. ICT before the 15 July deadline.

My main concern is the timeline. If I apply now, is it realistic to get the result in time for visa, blocked account, accommodation, and enrolment?

Has anyone applied to FAU ICT or FAU Engineering Master’s close to the deadline? How long did the result take?

FAU would be an upgrade option for me, but I do not want to delay my visa process unnecessarily.

Thanks
