Anyone in the same program at the university of Potsdam that wants to hang out? I’m an international student, in Berlin at the moment, and would love to meet people before the official start of classes. (My enrolment procedure hasn’t even finalized lol)

Hey guys, I applied for the enrollment for my Master's program at University of Potsdam. I've been waiting for almost 3 weeks for the completion and the German consulate in my country said that they need the Immatrikulationsbescheinigung for the visa. On the university portal, the status seems like in the photo. How much will I typically wait until the completion of the process? Thanks.

Anyone admitted in the Masters in digital health course? I’m an international student and trying to figure few things out, would be helpful if we could get to know each other!

Ich suche aktuell Kastanien. Wohne in der Nähe vom nuthepark. Wo kann man da welche finden?

I am starting my Masters this year and I would like to know when the exam period is usually during winter semester

I'm a PhD student starting my journey at the University of Potsdam in January 2025 and I'm on the hunt for a room to stay. Whether you're a mighty landlord, fellow student, a working professional, or just someone looking for a chill housemate, let's chat! I am okay with anything below 500 Euros

If you have a room to spare or know someone who does, please reach out!

Hey guys! I will be starting my Master’s degree at the University of Potsdam (Germany) in October. The university has provided me with a semester ticket; however, I am unsure about the areas where it is valid and where I would need to purchase an additional ticket. For instance, is it valid for travel from the airport to Potsdam, or within Berlin? I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly provide me with detailed information regarding the ticket's coverage.

Hi , I got 1.7 in my Abi in Tunisia and want to ask if this grade can get me in University of Potsdam, I want to study IT systems engineering or Informatik, my school leaving certificate can get me in, since the Bachelors are NC , I don't really know!

Wie findet ihr das neue Logo der Stadt? Wieso ist gerade der rechte Flügel ausgestreckt? Wieso schleift der Penis über den Boden? Und was ist das bitte für eine halb serife, halb serifenlose Schrift?

Same as titel. I'm also a student of SVB.

Hi, has anyone experienced issues with their insurance sending their M10 message? Mine was sent on Sept 5th and I got an email on the 13th from the university that they have not received any proof of insurance. Could it be because I signed up with an "ä" for the insurance and "ae" for the university in my name? I've message the university but no response due to high volume.

Hi! I made a WorldGuessr map and I want to see how well people can do. Go try it out and see how many locations you can within .1 miles :) https://www.worldguessr.com/map/potsdam-ny

Hello, I'm going to start my MSc studies at Potsdam Golm, and it would be nice to connect with people who are also going to study MSc in Geosciences.

Hello everybody! I am an international incoming student to study at the University of Potsdam. During my studies, I will be accommodating at Studentenwerk Potsdam placed near Am Neuen Campus. I am wondering that how STW’s canteens and cafeterias work? I mean how much buying a meal costs and are meals tasty? If not do you suggest University of Potsdam’s canteens and cafeterias? I think I’m not gonna have enough time to cook everyday.

I’ll be starting my Master’s program at University of Potsdam in about a month and I still have no place to stay. l'm stressed beyond belief or reason at this point. I secured admission end of July and the first thing I did was try and find housing. I applied for student dorms but nothing was available even way back in the first week of August. Then, I turned to Facebook groups and Google in general and it's been downright impossible to find something. There were people who got in touch with me and when I asked for pictures or questions in general, they disappeared. There were people who tried to scam me. There were people who were offering places but with conditions like rent the entire 4 bedroom apartment. I am out of options and even though I feel silly posting on reddit about this, at this point I'm just feel like I’ll post anywhere just to find a place. If you can offer any genuine help, I'd be forever grateful.

I thought I would put it into the aether iin case they ever stumbled across it.

Day of Visit : Saturday, 31 August 2024

Please would arrive Germany precisely by the end of this month and I need an affordable student apartment at Postdam. Currently enrolled at the university of Postdam.

I (lesbian) am moving to Potsdam to start my Master’s in the winter semester and am worried about making friends. I would like to make some lesbian and queer friends while I am in Potsdam. Any recommendations?

(Please no judgement or homophobic comments. You will be blocked.)

It is time for an annual fall reminder.

Hunting seasons have begun in NY. Various seasons are opening throughout the months of September and October and running through March. While it is highly unlikely for a non-hunter to be injured by a hunter, it does on rare occasion happen. Wearing some neon orange or pink is highly recommended while in the woods this time of year. Colors such as black, brown, and white should be avoided. An ounce of prevention and all of that.

Also, a reminder it is illegal to harass someone engaged in or to interfere with a legal hunting activity. Plenty of space out there for everyone.

Just a heads up. There's been a woman prowling the parking lots over by the Family Dollar / Seacomm Plaza looking for unlocked cars. She managed to break into one vehicle and steal the contents of the car, and ended up leaving with someone. Dont have all the details yet but figured I'd post a head's up.

Seems the local crackheads want to ruin a small town, because what sort of fat cunt steals cheap decorations, cat food, and reusable grocery bags.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in a bit of a tricky situation and could use some advice.

I’ve been admitted to a Master’s program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Potsdam for the winter semester 2024/25. However, I’m facing potential delays with my visa, and I’m worried that I might not receive it in time to start my studies this winter. Here’s where I need help:

Deferral Process: The admissions team informed me that the university doesn’t offer a formal deferral process. Instead, I can use the same admission notice to enroll either in the winter semester or the summer semester 2025.

Current Enrollment Status: I’ve already submitted my enrollment documents for the winter semester. If I end up needing to enroll for the summer semester instead, should I formally withdraw my current enrollment submission, or can I simply apply for the summer semester without any additional steps?

I want to make sure I handle this correctly and avoid any issues with my admission. Any advice or experiences from those who have faced similar situations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everybody, students, English-Speakers, those already diagnosed with ADHD or those looking for support to find friends and support on their way to get a diagnose,

My name is JayJay and I am part of a locla support group in the Sekiz here in Potsdam. So far we have one german speaking group every second and fourth Tuesday of the month and there is another german speaking group in Babelsberg, which I am not part of. Further there are a women with ADHD support group and a AuDHD group. Both are in the making and in German. I thought maybe some English-speakers might want to join too, so I started the process of establishing a seperate but connected group.

We have a chat for that on Whatsapp to exchange experiences, find support and provide important information where to go and what might help. The Whatsapp group is part of a Whatsapp community in which everyone can join and participate without any permission asked beforehand.

If you are struggling with ADHD or looking for exchange and a community locally or you know someone who might like to join send me a message and I'll give you the invite link to the Whatsapp chat :)

There are no requirements to join and you can leave the chat anytime without explanation. Its an open space to provide a local get-together and support for those in need.

Best regards JayJay

Hi! Angesichts der bevorstehenden Landtagswahl habe ich mich gefragt, ob es zeitnah eine Pro-demokratische (Anti AfD/BSW) Demo in Potsdam gibt. Nach der Europawahl ist Potsdam anscheinend die einzig halbwegs stabile Stadt in Brandenburg. Hat jemensch Infos zu baldigen Demos?

I have a bachelor’s in Nutrition and I applied for the toxicology master’s course. I was informed that the emails and letters of acceptance/rejection would be sent out late July/ early August. But as I got no reply from them, I tried emailing them again at the end of August and got this back (screenshot): Does anyone have any more info? Have you got your emails or letters regarding your admission? Thank u xoxo

Has anyone who had their documents evaluated after the admission deadline (August 15th) received an admission result for the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Master's program at the University of Potsdam?

In my case, uni-assist took a long time to process my documents and only sent them to the admissions office around the deadline. I expected to receive some kind of result two weeks after the deadline, but I haven't received anything yet.

I'm looking for a studio/WG starting October, for my studies at Potsdam Uni. A guy recommended me to rent using https://german-apartment.com/cities/potsdam/. However, it seems... shady. They ask for 1 month rent + fee (750 Euros) before getting anything.

Does anybody know if its real? Scam?

Hi, I'm moving to Potsdam for uni and am looking to stay overnight at a cheap but nice place. I'm arriving a day earlier than my accommodation move in date and need to stay somewhere. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Thank you!

I’m sure this question has been asked and answered a million times here before, but what are your recommendations for things to do in Potsdam if I have 4 free full days?

I normally enjoy reading through these subs for ideas when I travel but just found a cheap flight yesterday to join my gf for a university conference she has there and am currently about to board a plane so didn’t really have any time this time.

Both of us have never been to Potsdam, but I have been to Berlin before about 10 years ago and did most of the major museums. Both really like history, but are looking for any activity suggestions as well as tours / places to eat / nightlife. Can be in Potsdam or Berlin. Generally prefer local / off the beaten path suggestions, but since we really have limited experience in either cities any major touristy suggestions work too.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I'll be staying in Kaiser-Freiedrich-Staße this academic year and I wanted to know what the accommodation is like. I'm an exchange student from the UK, only here for a year. The accommodation has a play park outside which I find quite weird. Is this normal in Germany?

I really wanted a social accommodation so I could meet lots of people, go to parties etc. All the information online about accommodations in Potsdam is super limited so I have no idea what to expect.

Also maybe some information about what the university is like too. And any tips / bars / things things to do would be really appreciated!! So far the enrolment system has been far harder than my English university. And I've had to pay quite a few fees :( it seems all very expensive haha.
