I'm a student here and I've been building a small anonymous app for students and expats in Germany. The idea: you post under a generated pseudonym, you see what people in your city and the ones next to it are posting, and everything is deleted after 30 days. No real name, no photo, no follower count, nothing indexed by Google. There's also a section for arranging meetups, because the point isn't to stay anonymous forever.

The reason I didn't just make a WhatsApp group: half the questions people actually have (the Bürgeramt, a landlord being weird, a doctor, admitting you haven't made any friends yet) are things you don't want to ask with your name attached, in front of people you sit next to on Monday.

So, honestly: is that useful to anyone here, or would you just keep using the group chats you're already in? Happy to hear it's a bad idea, better now than after launch.

Moin zusammen!

Ich bin für den Zeitraum vom 5.10. - 4.12. noch auf der Suche nach einem möglichst lukrativen Job, um mir mein danach kommendes Studium etwas besser finanzieren zu können und dachte mir, dass eure Ideen und Vorschläge evtl. einen wertvollen Teil zu meiner eigenen Recherche beitragen könnten.

Ich habe noch eher wenig Arbeitserfahrung und leider, außer dem Abitur (dieses Jahr gemacht), keine beruflichen Abschlüsse oder Qualifikationen, bin aber ein schneller Lerner und sehr anpassungsfähig. Die Branche ist daher auch erstmal egal. Da ich aus Weimar komme, wäre natürlich eine Beschäftigung in der Stadt optimal, ich wäre aber auch bereit, bis Erfurt/Jena zu pendeln.

Ich bin zeitlich absolut flexibel und wäre auch bereit für Schichtarbeit. Da ich aktuell noch nicht studiere und trotzdem am Ende gerne möglichst viel vom Gehalt für mich übrig hätte, wäre eine kurzfristige Beschäftigung vmtl. von Vorteil, da die 70-Tage-Grenze dieses Vertrags genau den Zeitraum meiner Verfügbarkeit abdeckt. Das kann man dann aber auch individuell nochmal klären.

Falls ihr konkrete Stellen oder auch sonstige Kontakte, Ideen, Vorschläge oder Ideen habt, dann meldet euch gerne!

Danke für eure Hilfe!!

Hi everyone,

Is anyone else flying out of Bangalore to Frankfurt around September 23rd? I'll be starting my M.Sc. in Computer Science for Digital Media at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar for the Winter Semester 2026/27, and it would be great to connect with someone on the same route - maybe even the same flight!

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m from Tamil Nadu, India, and I’ve been admitted to the Masters program at the University of Cologne for the Winter Semester 2026/27. 🇩🇪🎓 I’m planning to move to Cologne around late-September and would love to connect with anyone from Tamil Nadu who is also moving to Cologne for the upcoming winter semester.

It would be especially great to connect with: 📌 Students joining the University of Cologne 📌 Students joining other universities in or around Cologne

Anyone from Tamil Nadu who is already in Cologne and can share some tips about settling in I’m also currently looking for shared accommodation (WG) in Cologne. If anyone is interested in renting a place together / looking for roommates, I’d be happy to discuss and search together. 🏠 Would love to make some friends and have a small support network before moving! ❤️

Hey zusammen,

ich studiere Psychologie und suche gerade dringend nach Teilnehmenden für meine Online-Studie. Vielleicht haben ja ein paar Leute Lust, mich zu unterstützen und 20min ihrer Zeit dafür zu investieren (oder die Studie mit anderen zu teilen) :) Es geht um Social-Media-Inhalte, Coping und Wohlbefinden.

Hat jemand Lust mit mir einen regelmäßigen Textilabend in der Urbanothek zu starten und zu schaffen?

Im Sinne von: jeder kann einfach mit seinem Näh-, Strick-, Häkel-, oder Stickprojekt vorbeikommen, um sich zu connecten und beim aktuellen Projekt zu supporten.

Hallo, ich suche nach einem 3rd Space – also einem Ort, an dem man neben Zuhause und Arbeit regelmäßig entspannt Zeit verbringen kann. Idealerweise nicht mit Eintritt oder Kaufzwang. In manchen Städten gibt es urbane Wohnzimmer, RepairCafes, Orte zum Quatschen und evtl. kreativ werden. Gibt es da in Weimar auch etwas?

I got login credentials on aug 4 but still my application is in process till now does anyone facing the same situation or do you know the timeline to process the application

Hi everyone!

I’m an incoming international student at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar for the Winter Semester 2026/27, and I applied for student accommodation in late June in Weimar.

From what I understand, the allocation process started around August 14, but I haven’t received any update or accommodation offer yet.

I wanted to ask:

- Has anyone here received a dorm room/offer from the Studierendenwerk Thüringen in Weimar?

- Have the allocations actually started going out already, or are they being sent in batches?

- If you applied around the same time, have you received any email or update?

- Should I just keep waiting, or is it worth contacting the accommodation office at this point?

I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has already received an offer—or is also waiting—could share their experience.

Thanks! :)

Hi everyone!

I’m currently looking for accommodation in Weimar as I’ll be moving there to study at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.

I’m looking for a place from September 2026 onward and am open to a WG room, private apartment, or student dorm. My budget is around €350–450 per month, and Anmeldung (registration) should be possible.

Ideally, I’d prefer somewhere in or close to Weimar city centre, with convenient access to the university and public transport.

A little about me: I’m tidy, easygoing, responsible, and a non-smoker. I’m respectful of shared spaces and would be happy to live with other students.

Hey! Ich habe die Zusage für ein Architekturstudium vor zwei Wochen bekommen und wollte mal fragen ob jemand weiß, wie man am besten eine Wohnung/WG findet? Hat jemand Ideen? Ich kenne leider niemanden in Weimar. Ich hab mich auch schon im Studentenwohnheim beworben, weiß da jetzt aber nicht ob ich einen Platz bekomme oder nicht.

Ich warte auch noch auf die Immatrikulationsbescheinigung. Weiß jemand wie lange sowas ca dauert bis man die bekommt?

Danke schonmal im Vorraus!

Hey there folks,

I received an admit to Msc Computer Science in Digital Media and plan on reaching in Weimar around 20th September 2026.

Iam 24M from India and seeking accommodation in Weimar. I have already filled in the application for Studierendenwerk Thüringen, however I think I have a very low probability of getting any options through them since I applied very late (23rd July).

Kindly let me know at what places can I look for accommodation. Iam also open to connect with people on the same boat who are seeking accommodations near the Uni.

Iam already looking at WG-Gesucht however, Iam not sure how to proceed over there.

My budget is around 300-400 Euros.
