Looking for advice from students already in Germany 🇩🇪
Hi everyone!
I’m an international student moving to Germany soon and I wanted to ask students who are already there for some advice about what we should do after landing.
I’m mainly confused about the initial process, so it would be really helpful if someone could share their experience.
A few things I wanted to know:
🏠 How did you find accommodation and what should we be careful about while renting a room?
📝 How does the Anmeldung work and how do we register ourselves after arriving?
🏦 Which bank would you recommend for students? I’m looking for something with low or no monthly fees and a good mobile banking app.
📱 Which SIM card or mobile network is affordable and reliable for students?
🩺 Is there anything we need to do regarding health insurance or other important registrations after arriving?
📋 Are there any other important things that we should take care of during our first few days or first week in Germany?
If you’re already studying or living in Germany, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience and any tips you wish you had known before moving.
Even a simple first week checklist for a new international student would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance! 🙌🇩🇪
