Need brutally honest advice from Uzbeks studying in Germany
Hey everyone, I’m a student planning to study and possibly build a career in Germany in the future. I’d really appreciate honest answers from students already living/studying there.
What do you wish you knew BEFORE moving to Germany?
How hard was it to adapt socially and mentally?
Is Germany actually a good place long-term for international students, or is it overhyped online?
How difficult is it to find a part-time job as a student if your German isn’t strong yet?
Which majors are genuinely good for jobs in Germany right now?
If you could restart from zero, what major/career would you choose?
What monthly budget is realistically needed for a student?
How hard is the German language in real daily life compared to what people expect?
Are Germans actually open to international students socially?
What mistakes do Uzbek students commonly make after arriving?
Is studying in Germany still worth it in 2026?
What’s the biggest difference between expectations vs reality?
What skills helped you the most in Germany outside university?
How difficult is it to stay in Germany after graduation?
What advice would you give to a 19-year-old Uzbek preparing from now?
