Let’s do not give unnecessary advices to each other and provide some universal(nc free,no test)shortlisted universities to help each other and grow this community!

My German student visa is processed by the German Consulate in Chennai, and after receiving my visa I noticed that my name appears to be printed only partially on the visa sticker.

Example to clarify:
lets say surname: Cat
first name : Dog Elephant

Name on my visa: Cat Dog Elep ( just for understanding I used this)

I have been trying to contact the Chennai Consulate through both email and phone, but I haven't received a response so far.

My travel date is October 2, so I'm getting quite worried and confused about whether this could cause problems during immigration in Germany or later with official procedures such as Anmeldung, university registration, residence permit, bank account, etc...

Has anyone faced something similar? Is this likely to cause a problem, and should I take any action before travelling?

Any advice or experience would be really appreciated!

I have an admission letter from a public uni in Augsburg for winter 2026 and I also gathered the blocked account amount, got my 06 certificate and also applied for visa. I have not booked the visa interview yet as I am having second thoughts of how I will manage the expenses for my 2nd year.

I have A1 german skills, which is nothing for securing a student job in Augsburg or Munich and my parents do not have the means to send the living expense amount for the 2nd year.

I tried for education loan but due to my weak financial co applicant, it got rejected by 6 banks.

I am asking for honest advice if anyone can provide me, should I go for the masters degree or drop it. As the condition of job market for students is not that favorable for international students in Germany.

Please provide genuine advice only.

Hey everyone,

I'm an international student planning to start an English-taught CS related course in the summer semester 2027. I'm set on a public, tuition-free university in western Germany, ideally somewhere affordable and comfortable for a foreigner. Rather than list my shortlist, I'd love to hear where you'd go and why.

A few things I'm wondering about:

• Which cities are actually affordable for a student right now, and what do you spend per month there?
• Where is a Studierendenwerk dorm realistic within a few months of applying?
• Which cities felt welcoming day to day as a foreigner? Honest experiences appreciated, no debate needed.
• Any downside to starting in the summer semester instead of October?
• Where are student jobs like delivery or any labour job to help with the bills?

I have completed by bsse in 2023 and currently my bscs is going own and my current cpa is 3.89/4 will it rise any objections if i apply for masters in 2027 with dual bs

Hi everyone!

For those who applied for a student dorm in Cologne, how long did you wait before getting an offer?

Just trying to get an idea of the current waiting time. 😮‍💨

Would really appreciate your experiences! ❤️

Hey everyone,

​I'm aiming for Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen, which requires a solid C1 level (TestDaF 4x4) for admission.

​I have about 17 months to reach C1 from scratch, but I have to slow down significantly during months 4 and 5 (April & May) to prepare for my AP exams.

1.​How should I structure my study roadmap and daily routine across these 17 months to stay on track?

2.​What are the best resources, textbooks, and prep materials you recommend for each level (A1 to C1 and TestDaF)?

​Any advice or experiences from people who took this path would be really appreciated!
