Hello everyone,
I have been trying to go on this Erasmus semester for a year.
Why I say “trying”? Because the first time I got rejected (very strange) and so I went to my university Erasmus event and talked to my coordinator and another person responsible for the process. Then I applied the next time and got nominated.

I’m an international student in Germany and I have been nominated for an Erasmus in Gothenburg.

The Erasmus grant will be only 2000 € for the whole 6 months. I already have some savings but my partner who already lives in Sweden says that it’s highly likely that you won’t be able to make it and you probably will need to ask for financial help from me or your dad.

He is probably right. However my plan was to work a part time job while I’m there.

I’m aware of Sweden’s unemployment rate and all the stuff but is it really impossible to find a job?
I’m currently working in Germany and saving money but I really want (and like) to work there as well.

What do you think?
What has been your experience in Gothenburg or any other Swedish city?
I would appreciate your opinions and suggestions.

Hello everyone,

I have recently been nominated by my university for an Erasmus exchange semester in Gothenburg for spring and I’m trying to plan for my finances there.

My university’s scholarship will provide 2000€ for the period, and I also have some savings. However, I assume that will not be enough to cover all my expenses.
Therefore, I’m considering working alongside my studies for around 10-15 hours per week.

I have actually spent some time in Sweden before for a few months. So I’m somewhat familiar with the general cost of living and Swedish culture.

I’m also aware that the situation for international students can be quite different from Germany, particularly when it comes to working without speaking Swedish.

So I wanted to ask people who are currently living in Gothenburg, how realistic is it for an international student to find a part time student job?
And what kind of jobs are relatively accessible to English speakers?

I’m trying to understand whether I should plan my finances assuming I won’t find a job or whether finding a part time job is reasonable enough to be part of my plan.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in similar situation or is currently studying/working in Gothenburg.

Thanks for reading the post.

Hey,
I have received a nomination for Gothenburg University but now that I’m filling my Online Learning Agreement, I see that most of their courses from the department is in distance studies.

Would I get a visa if that’s the case?
If you have had this situation or seen someone in this situation please tell me how did it went for you.

Hi everyone,
I got nominated from my university for an Erasmus semester at Gothenburg University. I’m so happy and waiting for Gothenburg University response.

However, my department had only contract with the department of language and literature (German studies) at Gothenburg University.
This worries me about getting accepted by the host university because I’m not proficient at German language and wants to take courses that are taught in English.

My plan was to get accepted and then take courses that are related to my studies from other majors. I provided a list of courses I want to take at Gothenburg Uni in my Erasmus application and now filling out my Learning agreement.

What do you think? Have you had similar situation or seen similar situation with others?
Do you think I will be accepted?
I will probably get an answer from Gothenburg University on the second week of August as I saw that the coordinator for that faculty is on vacation right now.

As a first time viewer, I honestly don’t understand why shiv has such a strong hatred towards Kendall.
I’m at season 2 ep 1 now and Shiv can’t even stand him.
She has been voting against him the entire first season every chance she gets and I know in the finale this is Shiv that takes the last vote and comes against Kendall again.

I mean didn’t Shiv betray his father as well by choosing Gil and she was plotting to reveal the cruise scandal?
If anything, they are the same career wise.

And don’t even get me started on Roman. He hasn’t put a bit of effort for the position he is in so I’m not gonna waste more words on him.

I loved shiv but this b$tch is just cruel to Kendall. They treat him soooo bad.

Hello everyone
I finally got a place for Erasmus in Gothenburg university. I’m waiting for Gothenburg to accept me right now.

I’m (27) an international student, studying at Germany now. I’d love to hear some of your experiences and advices for this time.
Could you please tell me what are the most challenging parts during this time? What should I prepare the most for?
And I would appreciate any advice for finding a job and housing there.
Thank you so much

Hello everyone, i have just started practicing with 10 fingers a few weeks ago and I practice it whenever I want to type something with my laptop.

However, i have noticed that I’m very self-consciously typing with 10 fingers’ rule. Like i just do it whenever I’m focusing to type with 10 fingers.

But when I just want to, for instance, do a quick google search, or answer a message on my pc, i don’t know how I should move my fingers according to the rule. So I would press the keys with whatever finger closer to the key I need and not with the finger that is designated for the key. (Do you get what I mean?

How should I solve this? Do I need to always keep my fingers on ASDF - JKL;? Or should I move my fingers freely but press the keys with the specific finger it should be pressed.

I hope I was able to clearly across my point here and can get some feedbacks.

Thank you so much

Hello everyone, I have been in Belgium for a day and will leave tomorrow. I went to the drug store and supermarkets and there are a lot of new products which sounds interesting.
What should I buy from here?

Hi everyone, I got a standing ticket for ground section but I now kinda regret it 😅
After I got my ticket my boyfriend told me he would like to join me as well.

Now I feel like I should have got the seated ticket because he doesn’t know Gracie and only is coming with me (coming from another country) and I love that.

But from my experience of Eras tour, you would get neck pain after that if you’re in ground section, because you have to constantly rise your head/neck in a tilted way.

Is resale or return an option?

Hello everyone,
I’m waiting to buy a ticket for Berlin concert. I couldn’t afford to buy merch to get a pre sale code.

Can anyone tell me what is the range of prices (especially in the floor section) and if there is any spot left?
I would appreciate it.

Why can’t I purchase a ticket from Eventim with my own credit card?

I’m ordering a ticket for a concert via their app and it asks me to purchase it via “Eventim card” and it only accepts that. There is no other payment option.

I tried to pay with my apple pay as it was the only other option in tge last page when you’re entering your details and it rejected it as well.

Can anyone help me understand this?

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

Could you please suggest me some moisturizer that has ceramide in it?

I have a compromised skin barrier (i wear SPF daily, just don’t reapply it through the day) and am looking for something that has ceramide, panthenol and peptides.

I know it’s hard to find all in one product so i don’t mind if i have to buy different products.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Hey everyone,

I’m a student in German and sometimes when things feel overwhelming for me, I’d like to go to dm and buy a little thing under 5 or whatever is mu budget at the time.

What are some fun things you would suggest someone to buy?

Hello everyone,

I’m writing here hoping for some suggestions about what iPhone should I buy.

I currently have my 13 pro max since April 2023. However jt seems like its life cycle is coming to an end.

The battery is terrible and I need to charge it 2-3 times a day (79%). It’s getting hot a bit easy when I’m using it for an hour plus.

I’m an international student in Germany and I’d like to get an iPhone that has a good reputation/life cycle, battery and camera so I can have it for at least 3 years. Also the price/performance ratio is important for me.

I initially wanted to buy an iPhone 15 pro yellow or green but the comments about this model aren’t really good.

I would like to hear your suggestions. What model should I go for?
