Hello guys , i am looking for people who are planning to join htw Berlin for masters 2026 . It would be helpful for everyone. We can search for accommodation and plan accordingly.

Hi im accepted for mees masters at jena
id love to connect with others going to jena for mees or any other program

id love to look for accomodation together and make friends in before going

So, I visited Leverage Edu and they handed me a package of 2.85 Lakhs that covers all the tests and visa slot expenses and a few other things.

The actual expenses are 1.5 - 1.7 lakhs max for everything.

They're charging approx 1-1.2 lakhs extra.

Now, I need to understand that whether self-applications and all the other process is possible by myself or maybe with a different consultancy?

Any Indian students in Germany? Any advice?

I've seen conflicting information online, many say that consultants are better and many say that process might be confusing.

Masters in Nutrition, Health and Food Systems at Hochschule Fulda.

Looking to connect with people who are already there or got an admit for this or any other course at Fulda.

Super Excited!

Hi! I’m an exchange student coming to FAU Nuremberg for one semester (~6 months), but the Studierendenwerk offered me a single apartment with a fixed 12-month contract, and the paperwork says I’d owe rent for the whole period even if I leave early.

I’ve already emailed the WohnService asking whether the contract can be limited to one semester, or what the early-termination options are — but while I wait, I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually been through this:

**1.** Did anyone get a **one-semester contract** as an exchange student?
**2.** If not, was there a fixed penalty for leaving early, or did you really pay all remaining months?
**3.** Is finding a **Nachmieter** a realistic option, or does the Studierendenwerk re-let the room itself?

Any experiences would help a lot — thanks!

UPDATE: They got back to me within 12 hours, said it was no problem at all, and sent me a new 6-month contract for the same room they’d originally offered. Really great service, highly recommend just asking!

This is my first post on reddit ever so bear with me- I'm pretty desperate here.

So I've been living in Germany three years now (I'm from the US), I first completed a Studienkolleg which was unfortunately in English, then I learned C1 German, and as a last-minute way to not get deported, I got into an architecture program at a Hochschule. During this semester I've only participated in half the classes, I'm only doing half the exams, and I've been mostly focusing on learning German to the point of Telc C1 Hochschule and a buncha Aptitude exams for TU applications.

I've always wanted to study architecture and I've heard that TU's are the best schools for this field in particular (most internationally recognized which would help me a lot in the future!). However, because I did technically study architecture for one semester at a Hochschule, I cannot apply for a first semester of this subject again, right? One TU has already rejected me with this reasoning. So tbh now I'm kinda freaking out.

I don't think any credits will transfer over because 1. it's a hochschule that I'm studying at, and 2. my current architecture program is in English. I was looking forward to starting over fresh in Semester 1 at at TU in German, now I think I'll go another year of pushing off this dream. :(

If anyone has any advice for me it would be greatly appreciated! Or if anyone knows good counselors/beratungsservice for international students (besides DAAD). I'm struggling with this process so much.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a good but reasonably priced hair salon in Munich for a pretty specific haircut, and I’m honestly a bit nervous because my hair is very long (below waist), thick, slightly wavy, and frizz-prone.

I haven’t cut it in over 2 years, so the ends are rough and I really want a proper reshape — but I absolutely do not want to lose much length.

I’m planning to get a soft long wolf cut / butterfly-wolf hybrid with:

• long layers for movement
• long curtain bangs (starting around nose/lip and blending to chin)
• face-framing layers
• no short crown layers / no mullet look

Basically, I want to remove weight and add shape while keeping most of my length.

My main concern is finding a stylist who actually understands:

• thick hair
• wavy/frizzy texture
• layered cuts that don’t turn into triangle hair 😅

Since women’s haircuts for long hair in Munich can get very expensive, I’m looking for places that are ideally not insanely pricey, but still trustworthy enough that I won’t walk out regretting Would love recommendations (or warnings about places to avoid). Thanks!

I got an offer to study Mechanical Engineering in Germany- (Hochschule Emden-Leer). I need to know from those who were there or currently there telling me their honest opinion about the city and their overall experience (Academic and social). Your response is highly appreciated.

Hello, not sure if this is the right sub to ask this, but here goes nothing.

I'm a master's student in Germany and recently got offered an 8-hour-per-week student assistant position. The work for this position aligns very closely with my long-term research interests and PhD goals.

But I needed closer to 20 hours of work per week (maximum allowed for a student) to cover my expenses, so I asked my professors about openings. She initially told me there were no openings, but later spoke with the committee and managed to get a 20-hour student assistant position approved for me.

Now I don't want to give up the original 8-hour position. The projects there seem highly appealing to me, the team seems very flexible, and most of the work can be done remotely. It would also start a month earlier than the 20-hour position.

So I asked my professor whether I could work 12 hours in her department and keep the other 8-hour position too. She said she could make that arrangement work, but she would not recommend it because balancing two jobs alongside my studies could become demanding. She emphasized that the decision is ultimately mine.

Now my concern is not so much the workload. I'm worried that choosing the 12+8 arrangement after she put in the effort to create a position for me could come across as ungrateful or as if I don't value her advice.

My questions are:

1. What would be the practically sounder decision - keeping just 1 job or splitting between the 2?

2. Am I overthinking the possibility of disappointing the professor?

TL;DR: I found an 8h/week student job that aligns closely with my future academic interests. Later, a professor got a 20h/week position approved for me. She's willing to reduce it to 12h so I can keep both jobs, but she doesn't recommend it. Should I take the full 20h position or keep both opportunities (12+8)?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

Is there a formula for it.

Heyyy everyone,

I am a student of Computer Science and today itself i got my APS certificate as my result was declared late........And now, while shortlisting public universities i got to know that most of the deadlines are July 15th and most of them accept application through Uni-assist (which means at this point of time i can't apply).

My question to you guys is.......are there any public university whose deadlines are late (so that i get sufficient time for uni-assist process) or accept application through their own university portal w.r.t. to Computer Science or related field for Winter Semester only

As if there are none then I'll have no choice and wait for Summer semester but it's my last preference.
