People with furry friends?

Hey all,

Hope the Christmas spirit is kicking in :) This is a random post, but being a pet lover who is unable to adopt because my WG doesn't let me, I wanted to ask if anyone of you would like to hang out and play with your pet Dog/cat for a while :) Plus, I'd like to make new friends (23M)

Happy holidays!

Music Lover Seeking Jam Sessions (Malayalam/Tamil/Hindi/English)

I'm a big fan of Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, and English music. I'm always up for a good jam session, even though I don't play any instruments myself. If you're into singing or playing, let's get together and make some great music!

D&D days and events in Tübingen?

Not sure if yet events are arranged for Dungeons and Dragons and if yes, how and when one can find the information? Plausibly, English as a working languege is a plus.

Tattoo studios in Tübingen?

A die, die in Tübingen schon Tattoo Erfahrung haben, welche Studios würdet ihr weiter empfehlen? Von welchen sollte ich mich lieber fern halten?

Falls ihr neugierig seid: Ich will mir eine von Kafka’s Skizzen (spezifisch die wo das Männchen verzweifelt über den Tisch gebeugt ist) hinten auf die Wade stechen lassen - wird mein erstes Tattoo :) ich hab es schon mit einem custom inkbox set “ausgetestet”

Bei der Studienwahl falsch gewählt- was nun?

Ziemlich langer rant incoming (tut mir leid wenn meine Grammatik bisschen komisch ist, ich bin nicht deutsch 😭). Ich bin Ersti an der Uni Tübingen, wie mein Flair bestimmt schon verraten hat. Ich studiere momentan VAA & Palästina Archäologie als Hauptfach und Kunstgeschichte als Nebenfach. Über Kunstgeschichte kann ich mich gar nicht beschweren, toller Studiengang, tolle Menschen, genau was ich wollte und mehr. Das gleiche kann ich allerdings nicht über VAA Archäologie sagen. Der harte Trek den ich jeden Morgen zum Schloss Hohentübingen durchführen muss beiseite, ist VAA Archäologie wohl gar nicht mein Studiengang. Also, gar nicht. Es ist nicht so als ob es nicht interessant ist oder so, das ist es definitiv. Aber ich finde zum Beispiel auch Chemie und Physik sehr interessant, und hab vor dem Abitur in jeder Klausur trotzdem nur 4er und 5er geschrieben. Mit der Studienwahl hab ich mich entscheiden ein Risiko zu nehmen, und eins meiner mehr ‘niche’ Interessen zu studieren, obwohl ich in der Schule davor in Geschichte auch nicht wirklich glanzvoll da stand. Ich habe mir dabei leider eingeredet dass meine Leistungen aus der Schule irrelevant sind und ich studieren kann was ich will. Stimmt nicht. Ich bemerke jetzt dass ich etwas wie Englisch studieren hätte sollen, in dem ich sowieso schon gut bin, sonst kann ich mich nicht in ein Thema versetzten. Das geht mir in ein Ohr rein, und in durch das andere wieder raus, so interessant ich es auch finde. Leider kann ich mich für meinen Traum Studiengang ‘English and American studies’ erst im Wintersemester 25/26 bewerben, und stecke jetzt effektiv hier fest. Ich bin zur Studienberatung gegangen, und die haben mir gesagt das ich technically nicht in meine Archäologie Kurse gehen muss (nachdem ich den Dozenten Bescheid gebe) und stattdessen mehr für Kunstgeschichte/Schlüsselqualifikationen machen kann um meine Punktzahl auszugleichen, aber ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher. Ich rede offensichtlich noch mit dem Studierendensekretariat, und den Fachschaften, ich suche jetzt nicht eine komplette Anleitung auf Reddit. Aber ich wollte auch wissen, was ihr denkt :).

PS: das hab ich original auf r/Studium gepostet, aber dachte ich teile es auch einfach mal hier

Experience with „Mitfahrerbank“?

has anyone had any experience with the Mitfahrerbank in Tübingen? Particularly on how far can you go or does anyone even stop and ask where you’re going?

I’ve seen people sitting on them once in a while, but they look more like just wanting to take a rest rather than tramping.

Fresh in Tubingen

Hey :) I’ve (24F) just moved to Tübingen and would love to meet some new people and maybe even friends!

Some of my interests: I love climbing/bouldering (still an amateur, though!), I enjoy board games, and I’ve dabbled in DnD a bit. And of course, I enjoy grabbing a drink and having a good chat!

Stadt Tübingen stops subsidizing job tickets - prices increase by 22.80 Euro

The price increase of the Deutschlandticket by 9 Euros was already in the news, but today Naldo released their new prices starting January first and it was a bit of a shocker.

The price of the "Deutschlandticket Tübingen als Jobticket" increases not only by 9 Euro, but directly by 22.80 Euro [1].

Apparently, the city decided to stop supporting job tickets. There is little to no news coverage about this decision: nothing on the city website [2], nothing on swtue.de, nothing on tuebus.de etc. The only information I found about it are two paywalled articles by Südwestpresse [3].

Edit: found the relevant bill that was voted for last Thursday: [4].

It's still a good deal for most people, but an increase by 22.80 Euro is definitely a lot and I think it's quite disappointing this decision was made so secretly.

Canteens should offer "Too Good To Go"

Did you ever wonder what happens to the food in the three canteens? I thought that a uni city like Tübingen would maybe donate their leftovers, but I didn´t find anything about that online, but please correct me if I am wrong. So, they will have to throw it out. I also searched up, if there would be a legal problem for canteens giving out food by utilizing the app, but I found out that the Uni Kiel is testing the app for their canteens since March now.

I would be very happy, if I could go to the canteen after they would have been closed down and I could pick up some leftovers on my way home. I know that the food isn´t the best, but it´s very cheap, provided that you don´t go to Prinz Karl, and it´s already prepared for you. I also want to increase the number of places that offer "Too Good To Go" in Tübingen, because compared to my hometown, there aren´t many restaurants; almost exclusively bakeries. I´ve pitched this idea to my friends and we agree that we would be regular costumers after lunch hours. What do you think about it?

What are the chances of getting in MSc Machine Learning?

I got a 9/10 GPA atm but this might drop slightly. I don't have much experience besides this, although I did start an internship (which I will be doing for 4 months by the time of the application deadline)

Best Café to work from?

I'm new to Tübingen & looking for such a place. Other cities have chains like Starbucks, Peet's or Insomnia.

Must haves:

  • Good wifi 📶
  • Good coffee ☕
  • Enough space to reliably get a seat 🪑

Nice to haves:

  • Central town 🌇
  • Nice view (onto water/nature) 🏞️
  • Not a chain/independent/student run 🤙
  • Nice people to have a casual chat with (not flirting, just getting to know ppl who live here) 🗣️

Not so important:

  • Price 💵

Any suggestions? Happy to test & share my experience here!

Opinions on MSc in 'Machine Learning' and Tuebingen as a Student City

Hi guys,

I am looking at the MSc in Machine Learning at the University of Tuebingen. This is because of two reasons:

  1. The MSc itself seems highly theoretical, rather than applied. With the quick pace of AI, it feels safer to learn the fundamentals that are not changing much than to focus on the application side where things are moving much quicker.

  2. The associated Max Planck Institute harbors great researchers and impacts the research world. Considering that theoretical AI progress will depend on the few top labs in the world, this seems like an important thing to strive for.

If anyone likes to add on to these previous points I'd gladly hear it.

Apart from this, I have some specific questions about the MSc:

  1. Do lectures/tutorials have mandatory attendance? And are lectures recorded?
  2. How deep/rigorous is the course material when it comes to deep learning? Did you ever feel like it could have been more in-depth on certain things?

And also for the student life:

  1. How hard will it be to find housing, and what will the prices be? I'm from Holland, so finding a house is mandatory for me to be able to do the master. I heard that you could always opt for a room in neighboring villages, but that makes integrating into a social circle in the city much harder. This brings me to my second point:

  2. How easy is it to find friends in Tuebingen? In other words, how many social activities are organized by for example the university? And what other options are there to meet people?

Thank you a lot for your time!

Tired of WG-Gesucht? Here is what you might be doing wrong

Getting a place here is awful and we know it. My WG had a casting and I learned:

If you put up an ad on the website you get up to 100 responses within a day and will take it down right after. Most people are just unlucky because others won't go through over 500 messages after a week of posting.
"Is the place still available?" questions are usually ignored since there are over 100 more people who are:
Describing themselves, what they do and who they are. What living with them would be like. There were people including their CV, income and letter of recommendations. People put crazy effort into displaying who they are.
You might be screened for keywords like: Vegan, Zweck WG, Sportler WG,
Out of the 100 only 10 got to the interview. 30 mins a person means 5 hours a day. Keep that in mind since most questions and statements might have been brought up for the 5th time and motivation can drop.

If you are unsuccessful it may boil down to very few reasons:
-Incompatibility with the WG e. g. you do not speak the language/ want to party/ have a very different views on WG life/Erasmus student etc.
-Wanting to move in at a specific date. You can be the nicest person in the world but asking the person moving out to pay for another month for you to move in is a lot to ask for and there are a lot of people who are willing to pay for a month while not living there
-MAIN REASON: You are unlucky. Most ads are up for a brief moment and are taken down pretty quickly. Someone else was faster

The person we ultimately chose was not the first one we interviewed. It boiled down to having common grounds, tidyness, duration of living in the WG and overall kindness. Most people we interviewed were great.

Tired of WG-gesucht in Tübingen

I’m tired of WG-gesucht and familiar websites. I’ve spent hours there and ended up with a shitty apartment in Reutlingen.

I’m a female (20 yo), studying in Tübingen University and plan on moving to Tübingen next term (starting with March). That’s why I’m making this post. Please, if you or your friend is searching for a roommate, or you’re moving out yourself and try to find someone else for your landlord, feel free to write down here. I’ll text you in the dm on Reddit to get your contact, in case it’s easier for you to have a convo on insta or WhatsApp.

I think it might have a successful chance, so I’m giving searching for an apartment on Reddit a shot. Thx!
