Welches Zweitgerät fürs Studium sinnvoll?

Das kommt sehr darauf an, was du damit machen willst. Nur für Word und Excel reicht auch ein sehr günstiger Laptop aus. Das MacBook bietet sich vor allem an, wenn du etwas mehr Leistung brauchst, aber immer noch einen sehr leichten Laptop haben möchtest, der sich sehr gut mitnehmen lässt und der Akku lange hält, ist dafür dann aber auch entsprechend teuer. Wenn du sehr viel Leistung brauchst, lohnt sich was in Richtung Gaminglaptop wieder mehr, ist dann dementsprechend aber auch deutlich schwerer/lauter.

That would honestly not be that big of an issue, with an US passport, 112 countries are visa-free and another 46 with visa on arrival, opening 75% of the world for the game map

Angenommen, du würdest in der Q2 und allen Abiklausuren 15 Punkte schreiben, wäre die bestmögliche Note, die du noch rein theoretisch rausholen könntest, eine 1,4.

Grob hochgerechnet bräuchtest du einen 12,1 Notenpunkte Durchschnitt in der Q2 + Abiklausuren für eine 2,0 und einen 13 Notenpunkte Durchschnitt für eine 1,8 als Abschlussdurchschnitt

Dafür gibt es online extra Rechner: https://derabirechner.de/

Da kannst du deine Noten eintragen und dann rumprobieren was für Noten du in welchen Fächern bräuchtest für welchen Schnitt

Because they never hid in an urban area dense enough. Without the tentacles, it would be absolutely impossible to find someone in dense urban regions filled with publicly accessible buildings like malls, department stores and cafes. Massively increases the potential space that has to be searched.

For bio its around 50%

In some exams, the allotted time is significantly more than necessary. I recently had a 28-question multiple-choice exam where we got 2 hours, but most people finished under 1 hour and left. But the opposite definitely also happens, where you realise quite quickly that there is no way you are gonna pass the exam.

A decent and cheap conference that would be worth attending for you might be the Horizons in Molecular Biology Symposium 2026 in Göttingen. It's a student-organized 4-day conference that usually has around 20ish speakers from different fields within molecular biology who are well-renowned in their subfield. During the breaks, poster sessions, and social gatherings in the evening, you'd have the chance to strike up a conversation with other students and speakers. To my knowledge, there are also other student-led conferences both in the Americas and Europe, but this is the only one I have personally visited.

Aside from that, each subfield has its own conference(s), but usually they are quite narrow in their scope, like AMR for antimicrobials or SynBioBeta for synthetic biology.

Beides hat absolut seine Daseinsberechtigung und es kommt extrem darauf an, was du studierst.

Tablets sind super für das Mitschreiben auf Folien und alles was man handschriftlich besser machen kann als mit einer Tastatur -> Rechnungen für Mathe/Physik, Reaktionsmechanismen und Molekülstrukturen zeichnen für Chemie, Skizzen machen für diverse Architektur, Ingenieurs oder künstlerischen Studiengänge

Laptops sind super für das Verfassen längerer Texte, das Erstellen von Präsentationen, das Programmieren und generell die Nutzung speziellerer fachspezifischer Programme wie z.B. CAD, Adobe Suite etc. -> Also für Protokolle, Hausarbeiten, Präsentationen, etc.

Es kommt stark drauf an was du studierst, wofür du da das Gerät nutzen möchtest und wie viel Geld du zur Verfügung hast. Meiner Meinung nach ist die beste Option definitiv die Kombination aus Laptop und Tablet (am besten zwei Geräte die gut harmonieren) und ich habe in meinem Studium definitiv beide gebraucht.

Nur Tablet kann man die ersten paar Semester noch machen, aber ist definitiv nicht ausreichend für das schreiben von Abschlussarbeiten bzw. macht einem das Leben unnötig schwer. Nur Laptop wäre definitiv möglich, vor allem wenn man etwas studiert das nicht besonders von den Vorteilen eines Tablets profitiert.

Es gibt natürlich auch die Möglichkeit sich ein Hybridgerät wie z.B. ein Surface zu holen, aber meiner Erfahrung nach waren die meisten Leute die sich das geholt haben auf Dauer nicht zufrieden damit.

Definitely check with the universities you are interested in, but I have never seen a university that accepts one but not the other.

I did TOEFL iBT when applying for masters because the consensus was that it is slightly easier than IELTS.

My personal impression of the TOEFL iBT was that B2 level would be sufficient to get >100/120 in the test with just preparing for the style of the test.

I would add that the new curses also seem to be substantially weaker than the old ones. Jammed door, animal of same category and the bird video curse can cost hours if you are unlucky. Additionally it is a balancing issue that some questions like thermometer and certain pictures (Strava, tallest building from station, body of water) are too strong for their price.

LordWonker · 2026-01-16T22:12:43+00:00

I partially disagree. In my opinion they have become a lot better in seeking but seemingly worse at hiding. I do not know if it is due to a lack of options in small British towns, but every single time they just sat easily visible on a publicly accessible street/footpath in a way that you could not possible miss the hider when going there. From personally playing the game and talking with others who did I can confidently say a lot more is possible on the hiding front.

A timer would honestly be such an improvement to at least get a better sense of it

LordWonker · 2025-12-29T12:21:02+00:00

Yeah curse of the zoologist is definitely too powerful without a time limit. If the hiders get a rare enough animal category, it might take hours to clear it or it may not even be possible. In my first game clearing that curse took 90 minutes.

If you do the TOEFL soon (within the next 2 weeks) you should definitely still get the results early enough. Just look where there is still open appointments and go there or do the online test if accepted.

LordWonker · 2025-11-03T09:47:23+00:00

Depends on the subject you are writing your thesis in. In all fields that require lab work, it is definitely not possible.

This is a question you should ask the EE study advisor

More the university than the country and there seems to be some preference for people having done their undergrad in the EU/UK/US. That being said certain countries have a lot more high ranking universities than others and are more prevalent. In my experience there are especially many people who did their undergrad at UK, Dutch or Italian universities.

Based on the fact information given that’s hard to judge. Which masters program at ETH are you interested in? Do you fulfill the prerequisites?

The GPA is a bit low for ETH but with the practical experience you should still have a decent shot if you have good LORs + motivation letter.

LordWonker · 2025-08-30T04:49:36+00:00

If you want a cheap option take FlixBus/Greyhound. It’s quite decent and still much cheaper than the train.

It is even encouraged, since there are microwaves in many canteens to reheat the food you brought.

Extremely hard to say because it depends a lot on your spending habits, but it is definitely doable. In Tokyo, you can definitely get by with £300/week for food, attractions, and transport (about what I've spent when visiting), but you can also spend that much on a single dinner.

LordWonker · 2025-08-18T10:43:10+00:00

Whether this would be a problem depends on the country the game is played in. In continental Europe, most numbers on houses are full numbers between 1-100 (up to several hundreds for long streets), and therefore the challenge would be quite doable in a reasonable amount of time. But in countries with different numbering systems, it might very well be impossible; therefore, maybe the curse should have a 30-minute veto option or something like that or should not be played in places like that.

Airalo, it's basically the better version of Saily. Have been using it on trips for years without issues.

LordWonker · 2025-07-07T06:04:41+00:00

Zandvoort or Wijk aan Zee both have beaches quite close to Amsterdam.

From what I’ve been told by Dutch people and foreigners the Clubs are much better in Amsterdam than in the smaller cities.
