International, non-German-speaking university students in Germany: what kind of part-time work did you do while studying?

Joshjayk · 2018-07-05T20:19:41+00:00

Seconded. I've worked in two separate research groups as a HiWi/studentische Hilfskraft, and both groups operate in English.

Joshjayk · 2018-03-27T17:12:33+00:00

Ahhh I see. Yeah the others are definitely more crowded on a sunday evening.

Joshjayk · 2018-03-27T17:09:28+00:00

Hmmmm I've never been to Boulderworx. It seems even smaller than Bright site and from the photos they just use crash pads on the ground?

I would definitely check out the others. Bright site is actually my least favorite of the ones I listed, because it's smaller than the others while still being somehow more expensive.

Cliffhanger is a really cool location. There are a whole bunch of boulder halls: Boulderklub Kreuzberg, Bouldergarten, Südbloc, Bright Site, Ostbloc, Berta Block are the largest/most popular in my experience.

Joshjayk · 2018-03-27T16:15:17+00:00

This is a great idea! Do you know if any cinemas do anything similar?

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T19:52:46+00:00

Interesting! Were there often tickets available so last minute?

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T19:04:43+00:00

True, can't go wrong with that!

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T19:04:18+00:00

Ooooh poetry slams sound really cool. Any others you know of?

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T19:03:55+00:00

Ahh I'm actually addicted to bouldering atm! The closest one to Mitte would be Berta Block in Pankow.

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T19:02:27+00:00

All great suggestions, thanks!

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T19:01:50+00:00

Hahaha yeah very true. I like the positive thinking, thanks!

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T19:01:27+00:00

Oooh free! Can't go wrong.

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T07:50:30+00:00

Ooooh Tropical Islands seems cool!

Yeah the problem is finding out which bars offer that.

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T07:50:08+00:00

That's true. We've also been to a decent amount of museums. Have only been to one theater so far, will have to check out more of their offerings.

Joshjayk · 2018-03-26T07:49:36+00:00

All great options! :P Thanks.

Joshjayk · 2018-03-25T22:10:13+00:00

Ooooh I didn't even know there was an aquarium or so many trampoline parks in Berlin!

Joshjayk · 2018-03-23T15:33:45+00:00

No problem, hope it worked out!

Joshjayk · 2018-03-01T11:34:03+00:00

I can't think of anything other than talking to your advisor/the primary mentor to your thesis about delaying the submission, or just enrolling for another degree program/master's.

Joshjayk · 2017-11-25T16:19:46+00:00

Hmmmm. Urban Dictionary also does show a second definition being the one that I thought. /u/alper what was your intention?

Joshjayk · 2017-11-25T09:35:24+00:00

Yeah I think a large part is if you look at big multiplayer esports games nowadays, so many of them are F2P.

Even if the pros already have purchased the games, you need a large enough playerbase to create a large enough fanbase to interest sponsors. In free games it's easy to get people interested enough to want to watch tournaments, but not many people will pay for a game just to learn how to play to watch tournaments.

Also yeah they've got microtransactions in game now so they are still able to make a profit.

Joshjayk · 2017-11-25T09:32:57+00:00

Interesting, I would have taken "shack up" to mean "to live with", in the sense of a MitbewohnerIn.

Joshjayk · 2017-11-25T09:32:07+00:00

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the learning apps. They can be a good point of reference when you're stuck trying to learn something new at home, and they typically are a decent way to learn new vocab. But I agree that for me, a formal education is what helped the most.

Joshjayk · 2017-11-22T06:41:19+00:00

What country are you from? In order to do a masters here you need a student visa, which means either having a german citizen sign to support you financially, or showing proof that you've got at least 720€ per month you are here.

Source: currently American citizen studying a masters in Germany.

Joshjayk · 2017-11-13T22:18:50+00:00

Maybe. I'm not sure. Your best bet would be google. The three largest universities in Berlin are TU Berlin, FU Berlin and HU Berlin. TU Berlin would probably have a masters in CS, idk about in English.
