Liebe Leute,

es ist August und ich werde im Oktober mein Studium in Berlin anfangen.

Ich komme nicht aus einer Kleinstadt und habe an einer vergleichbar großen Uni in NRW studiert und dennoch fühle ich mich so unwohl bei dem Gedanken, dass ich bald in Berlin sein werde. Das Studierendenamt scheint unfassbar überfordert und genauso sind es alle Menschen, die ich aus Berlin gesprochen habe und jegliche Erfahrungsberichte, die ich gelesen habe.

Ich komme zum Studieren, weil mir mein Programm extrem gefällt, doch macht mir gerade alles Mögliche abseits des Studiums Sorgen. Ich weiß auch nicht wirklich, was mir jemand aus dem Sub sagen könnte, damit ich mich etwas besser fühlen könnte, doch muss ich es einfach irgendwo rauslassen, in der Hoffnung, dass es nur unbegründete Sorge ist.

Danke für's Lesen.

Edit: added some minor information to ensure the post can be understood:

Hi everyone,

I would really appreciate it if someone could be so nice as to help me out with my enrollment. I have high-functioning anxiety, and I have not sent my documents for enrollment yet. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help a fellow prospective student for the BA North American Studies.

I know it shows a lack of professionalism and bad time management on my side, but for the moment, your help can mean a lot since I am really anxious about forgetting an important document.

I received my conditional admission for BA North American Studies, and then last night I filled out my request for enrollment on the Bewerbungsportal, and now my status there is "Request for enrollment submitted". Afterwards, students are asked to send the following documents: https://www.fu-berlin.de/en/studium/bewerbung/immatrikulation/unterlagen/index.html. Could you please provide some information so I can make sure I have understood all the required documents well, and I will not forget something important.

Here is the list of the required documents for BA students:

1. Admission notification(s): In this case, should I sould just submit the letter of conditional admission?

2. Control view from the online data entry: I could not figure out what document they are referring to here!

3. Completed application for enrollment: I reckon this is about the completed application at the bewrbungsportal?

5. Electronic proof of health insurance directly submitted by a German statutory health insurance provider: On the website, it says that students can submit this after the deadline, so would it be okay if I submit this later, as in tomorrow?

8.  If applicable, the proof of the required language skills/result of the FU language test if the required foreign language skills are not evident from the school leaving certificate. Since I am applying for my language test next month, would it be okay to leave this section?

12. If applicable, a certificate of removal from the student register at the last German university attended? I am already studying at another German university, and gonna leave my studies here to start a new program at FU, but what is this part even referring to? What kind of certificate would that be

15. Transfer voucher: In another section, they have emphasised that students who have not passed their language test should refrain from paying their semester fee, so I guess it would be okay to not pay it immediately

Send all required documents as email attachments to the email address that applies to you. In my case, as someone admitted to the BA North American Studies, would that mean sending them all to imma-bachelor@studium.fu-berlin.de?

Many thanks in advance!!

Hello everyone,

Couple of days ago I got an admission offer by FU Berlin for the North American studies. This might sound like a silly question but under the control view document of Online Data Entry it reads "Please print out this control sheet and send it by email together with the cover letter for enrollment and all other enrollment documents by the deadline."

What does "cover letter for enrollment" mean here? The same as my statement of purpose I used for my application or something else? Do I need to write another cover letter just for enrollment?

I'd appreciate your help.

Hallo!

Ich bin nach Berlin vor 2 Wochen umgezogen und werde mein MA-Studium im Fach Philosophie an der Humboldt Uni im Oktober anfangen. Ich würde gerne neue Leute kennenlernen, weil ich bis jetzt keine Freunde hier habe.

Ich bin ein Amerikaner aber ich spreche lieber Deutsch. Schrieb einfach ein Kommentar, wenn du Bock darauf hast, irgendwann irgendwo (vielleicht bei einer Kneipe oder Café) treffen willst! Studierende wäre lieber (egal welches Fach) :)
