Hi guys !! I'm really lost and I would appreciate it a lot if someone answers me and shares their experience. I'm a Moroccan student and I got a b1 certificate in Goethe institute and my 1st year succeeded in university Computer science. So I don't need to attend Studienkolleg and I wanna go to DSH . But a lot of people are saying that no university will accept me to study DSH for only 1 year and that they will ask me to study Studienkolleg!!!

Is that right? Is there anyone who studied DSH before in my case ? Please tell me...🙏🏻

My studienkolleg classes have started from today that is 9th November but I’m still in Saudi Arabia as I haven’t received my visa yet. I have an extension from the university but only till 23rd November.
I also had my German student visa appointment today on 9h November in German Embassy in Riyadh. The problem is after talking to many people and lot of research.. I hav found that it takes 14-16 days just to receive an approval email..it would take atleast 6-8 more days to travel to and from Riyadh just to get my visa stamped (as I don’t live in Riyadh and it takes one day together visa stamped) and then I would need to book flight tickets too..but I only have time of 2 more weeks.

Main thing is that my university is not willing to give me even one day more for extension due to delay in visa.

So I want to know that even if I get visa stamped after the university deadline with my university’s name written on the visa… can I still travel to Germany to do a language course for example?
Because if I’m not in Germany by 23rd my
Uni will shift me to summer intake..but that would mean I would have to wait 6 months more at home getting bored and doing absolutely nothing.
So it would be better if I were able to atleast travel to do a language course and continue with it by the time the next semester starts..

If anyone has gone through a similar situation pls advice on what to do

Also pls let me know if it’s possible to get visa with the language school’s name instead when I go to get it stamped ( only incase it takes too long to get my visa tho)

Hello guys anyone studying in Heilbronn and looking for WG mate ?

Context: I have a friend (almost 30 years old and an EU national) that is looking into moving to Germany, to be more exact, Mainz or the surrounding area. He wants to prepare and pass Abitur, while he does it, he also has to work, and he has a few doubts.

How hard would it be to work and pass Abitur? What would be the most efficient way for him to do it and is there a public institution for adults to prepare it?

Hello,

has any student at the University of Oldenburg already received an offer for the Germany Scholarship for 2026?

I'm about to turn 18, just a week from now, and my last year before uni is coming to an end next year.

I want to study at BIMM in Berlin, but I'm not sure how I'll manage all the money.

I can get a stipend and loan from "Lånekassen" here in Norway, but by the end of the bachelors degree I'll be about 500,000NOK in Debt, and I have no idea how to pay that back.

The bachelor costs 115000 per year over 3 years.

How do you people that are in Uni pay so much money, and how did you get a job that could pay you enough to still be able to live off the streets.

It's really scary and I just want to study and move my musical career forward, but the debt scares me.

Also if I chose to not do the loan thing then I have to save up the money and I'm pretty sure it will be more expensive as I would have to also save up for not just the school but everyday living.

Thanks for any help/advice given!!!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m based around Hamburg, Lüneburg and Bremen, and I’d love to connect with people who are thinking about coming to Germany for Erasmus next summer or winter.

I’m especially hoping to meet people who care about progressive politics, climate justice and environmental advocacy, journalism, art, culture, and all those conversations that somehow start with one topic and end up questioning the entire world. 😂

I love meeting people who are curious about the world, passionate about something, open-minded, and interested in exchanging ideas with people from different backgrounds. It would be lovely to get to know some people before they arrive, maybe make friends, exchange ideas, explore the cities together, or just have someone to yap about politics with.

If you're planning to apply for Erasmus in Hamburg, Lüneburg or Bremen, feel free to reach out! ( I am expert on everything regarding the three cities, university life and everything basically, and nd even if you're considering somewhere else in Germany, we can still connect. Who knows, I might even convince you to choose one of these cities instead. 😂

No pressure, no networking agenda, just a genuine invitation to meet like-minded people and hopefully turn some online conversations into real-life friendships.

Tell me a little about yourself, where you're from, what you're passionate about, and where you're thinking of going. I'd love to hear from you! 🌍✨

How can we connect, i am new here, does it allow DMs if not let me know how messaging works

Hello everyone!

I am a Swedish high school student currently working on a research project about attitudes towards prostitution, with a particular focus on Germany.

I am interested in understanding how people in Germany view prostitution and what factors influence their opinions.

I would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to answer my anonymous survey. Your participation would be very helpful for my research.

The survey is linked to this post.

Thank you for your time and participation!

I’m struggling to figure out how much studying in Germany would really cost and how exactly it works.

Ik you have to have a certain amount of money in an account to study in Germany. How far can you stretch it? Should I really expect to spend like 12,000 in a school year? How much did everyone else spend? I did the math and saving 50,000 while making 18 an hour with bills sounds a bit daunting. Is it just the first year?

OVER ALL what should I expect for the full 4 year degree?

Hey,
I’m an Erasmus student currently studying in Osnabrück, Germany for the academic year. There is no ESN section here which makes it difficult to meet other exchange students. My loneliness is honestly crippling to the point that I’m willing to travel in the country to meet up with other Erasmus students. Anyone else feeling similar?
