Hi everyone,

I'll be starting the M.Sc. Computational Methods in Engineering at Leibniz University Hannover this winter semester.

I come from a Civil Engineering background, but it's been a while since I studied subjects like mechanics, mathematics, numerical methods, and programming. I have a few months before the semester starts, so I want to use that time to prepare properly.

For anyone who has taken this program (or something similar), I'd really appreciate your advice.

• Which subjects should I focus on before classes begin?
• Is Python enough, or should I also learn MATLAB?
• Which first-semester courses are usually the toughest?
• Is there anything you wish you had revised before starting?

I'm not looking to get ahead of the course - I just don't want to feel completely lost in the first few weeks.

Any advice or personal experience would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I am an international student from India. I have been admitted to the Master's programme in CME at Leibniz University Hannover for the Winter Semester 2026/27.

I am currently looking for accommodation in Hannover from 1 October 2026 (or up to 10 days earlier if possible).

My preferences are:
• Single room / studio apartment
• 2-person shared apartment (WG)
• 3-person shared apartment (WG)

Budget: €300–€450 per month.

I am a non-smoker, responsible, clean, and respectful tenant. I do not have any pets and will focus primarily on my studies.

For my residence registration and visa requirements, I would need:
• Mietvertrag (rental contract)
• Wohnungsgeberbestätigung (landlord confirmation)

If you have a room available or know of any suitable accommodation, I would be very grateful if you could contact me.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi everyone,

After months of waiting and checking portals almost every day, I finally have all my admission results for Winter Semester 2026/27.

I got admits from:

• ⁠University of Siegen – M.Sc. Engineering of Hydro-Environmental Extremes
• ⁠Bauhaus University Weimar – M.Sc. Natural Hazards and Risks in Structural Engineering
• ⁠TU Darmstadt – M.Sc. Civil Engineering
• ⁠Leibniz University Hannover – M.Sc. Computational Methods in Engineering
• ⁠Leibniz University Hannover – M.Sc. Geodesy and Geoinformatics
• ⁠TU Braunschweig – M.Sc. Computational Sciences in Engineering
• ⁠TU Bergakademie Freiberg – M.Sc. Groundwater Management
• ⁠Ruhr University Bochum – M.Sc. Subsurface Engineering

I'm still deciding which one to choose. Every program has something I like, so it's been harder than I expected to make a final decision.

This subreddit has been really helpful throughout the whole application process, so I just wanted to share my results. Reading other people's posts here helped me a lot when I was waiting, so maybe this gives someone else a bit of hope too.

If anyone is studying in any of these universities or knows about these programs, I'd love to hear your experience. Any advice or suggestions are welcome.

I know how stressful the application process can be, so if anyone has questions about applying to these programs, Uni-Assist, APS, interviews, or the overall process, feel free to ask. I'll be happy to share my experience

Pata Hai Aaj Kya Hua
I was at CP with my two friends. We were a little high, so my eyes were slightly red.
There was this girl around us who was dressed pretty differently, and she had that confident, runway-walk kind of vibe. She walked past us once… then again… and then one more time. We didn’t really think much of it.
Then out of nowhere, she stopped right beside me, looked straight into my eyes, smiled and said
“You really have pretty eyes.”
For a second, my brain just froze. I was too high to come up with anything clever.😭
I just gave a little smirk and said “Thanks” and walked away like nothing had happened.
A couple of minutes later, it finally hit me.
Out of the three of us, she came over just to compliment my eyes.
Ngl… I wasn’t expecting that at all. That random compliment low-key made my day.

Planning a solo trip to Kasol, Manikaran & Kheerganga next week and looking for suggestions.
Current plan is to take a night bus on Saturday and reach Manikaran Sunday morning. I’ll have Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and then take a night bus back on Tuesday.
I’m thinking of covering Manikaran, Kasol, Chalal, Tosh, Kalga/Pulga, and doing the Kheerganga trek, but not sure if that’s realistic in 3 days.
What would be the best itinerary? Any hidden spots, cafés, viewpoints, short hikes, or places that are worth visiting around Parvati Valley? Also, is it better to stay in Kasol, Tosh, or Kalga for most of the trip?
Would love to hear how you would plan these 3 days if you were traveling solo. Thanks!

Just wanted to share my Germany student visa timeline in case it helps someone.

VFS Centre: Delhi

18 May – Opened blocked account
19 May – Sent money, received confirmation, Submitted application on the CSP
21 May - A correction was requested and completed on the same day
22 May – Booked visa appointment
28 May – Attended visa appointment at VFS Delhi
11 June – Visa received🪬

Overall, it took about 24 days from opening the blocked account to getting the visa and around 14 days after the visa appointment.

I’ve already helped my brother and one of my friends with their visa process as well. My brother is already in Germany now. If anyone has questions about blocked accounts, CSP, APS, visa appointments, documents, or the overall Germany student visa process, feel free to ask and I’ll try my best to help.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting for their visa decision!
