Got admit in University of Bayreuth - need advice

Hey everyone!

I recently got admitted to the University of Bayreuth for the Master’s program in Philosophy & Computer Science, and I’m super excited (and honestly a bit overwhelmed too 😭).

I have sooo many questions, including:

How is the university overall (academics, professors, workload, international student life)?

How difficult is the Philosophy & Computer Science program?

Are there good Werkstudent/job opportunities nearby for international students?

How easy is it to find part-time jobs in Bayreuth or nearby cities?

Accommodation situation: student dorms vs private apartments? Best options?

Average monthly living costs?

How is public transport?

Best ways to build social connections/network there?

Any Indian or international student communities?

Health insurance, visa, Anmeldung, blocked account, any tips?

German language requirements for jobs/social life?

What should I absolutely know before moving?

Basically, I’d appreciate any advice about student life, survival tips, mistakes to avoid, or things you wish you knew before joining.

Thanks in advance :)
