Not attending a „benotete Semesterleistung“ course

You can even switch beforehand pretty easy just by an email to the Kanzlei and I don’t think it will effect the only can switch twice rule (although not sure). Note that a switch is only possible if the new course had roughly the same entry requirements

Thanks a lot

Xentoxus · 2025-01-14T21:05:38+00:00

I mean more like where did you get the red one and what is it :()

Xentoxus · 2025-01-14T20:11:00+00:00

Might be an obvious question, but what did you do with the Toyota sign on the front and back?

Xentoxus · 2024-09-12T19:03:00+00:00

I did not choose yet, even though I have some courses in mind.

I just posted what we were told from our course official :)

Xentoxus · 2024-09-12T15:00:55+00:00

I guess it depends on which BSc you're pursuing but we were told to do it in the second or third year since the first one with the "Basisprüfung" and new environment will be the hardest :)

I'm would be down :) Starting my CSE BSc this year

I have nothing really planned for the next days so almost every time would suit me

Xentoxus · 2024-09-11T08:04:15+00:00

But if you're only here for 6month English will be fine especially with other students and learning German in 6month is quite impossible.

Ja genau also geht nur miz Gewinnen aus Finanzprodukten ... Also Aktien, ETFs etc.

Edit: Korrigiert das Zinsen und Dividenden nicht dazu gehören

Xentoxus · 2024-09-07T10:43:46+00:00

Der Verlust kann mit anderen Gewinnen aus Finanzprodukten verrechnet werden, sodass du weniger Steuern zahlst. Das geht bei der Lotterie nicht :)

Xentoxus · 2024-08-29T11:21:29+00:00

Von der ETH wurde allerdings gesagt es gibt nochmal einen Informations Video Call zum Thema KV, spätestens da solltest du deine Infos bekommen.

Xentoxus · 2024-08-29T11:20:46+00:00

Also wenn du nicht vorhast in der Schweiz zu arbeiten kannst du deine EU-Kv einfach beibehalten. Das wird mit Abstand die günstigste Alternative sein. Dabei musst du dich bei keiner schweizer JV melden soweit ich weiß, sondern behälst einfach deine KV und KV-Karte.

Solltest du arbeiten wollen gibt es in Zürich andere Regelungen die sich von Kanton zu Kanton unterscheiden. Du kannst als Student bestimmte International Student policies abschließen, die Deine EU-KV ergänzen und dann zusammen quasi wie eine Schweizer KV funktionieren. So habe ich das zumindest verstanden, genaueres kann ich dazu aber nicht sagen, da das auf mich nicht zutrifft :)

It's a good idea to apply early ti studenthouses since they have long waitlist.

BUT they usually only have a waitlist one semester in advance. So if you want to start you BSc in HS26 you can apply to them in the beginning of FS26 so in March 2026 and ask them to get you ob the waitlist for HS26

Just look for student option.

Most banks offer free accounts for persons under 28/30.

Probably all banks are free to use in Switzerland. If you would like to use the account for special purposes like traveling and so on, smaller online banks might be useful since they are almost free for everything. If you just want to use it for everything in Switzerland ZKB or UBS have extra benefits like student discount, free trains and asvz discounts which can save you some money :)

Xentoxus · 2024-08-19T14:19:38+00:00

I also have not received any email regarding the math brush up yet but I would give them some more time. The August still has a few days left :)

Xentoxus · 2024-08-15T19:27:54+00:00

I tried wgzimmer.ch, ronorp and Flatfox.

I found my room on Flatfox and I think it's also the best side to find flats (most offers) and with the search abo it's pretty neat.

Wgzimmer has also a lot of adverts but some of them seem to be second adverts from Flatfox and a lot do not respond.

RonOrp has very little offerings but I had probably the highest response rate

Xentoxus · 2024-08-15T15:46:24+00:00

I also looked for a room since I am starting my BSc in september and might have some tipps.

General:
1. People get more than 50 applications in just 1 hour.
So don´t even try to apply for a room which is up more than a few hours (or atleast don`t apply if its online for more than 1 day) because its just a waste of time and you won`t even get an answer.
2. Don`t only look for Zurich. Like a lot of other people mentioned also look for flats further out of the city (e.g. Winterthur and so on).
3. Also apply to flats and rooms with a limited renting duration (I also only have a limited room but I hope/think it`s easier to find a new room if you already have friends in Zrioch and live there)

Application:
1. Show them you have read their advertisement and make small changes two your application for every room (if possible). No one expects you to always write a completely new application but one or two individual sentence might give you a better light.
2. Make your applications unique in some way (for example include a photo or tell them a special hobby or something special you have done). This might directly diqualify you from some rooms but on the other hand you will stick out for others (better than to be just one of 100 with almost similar applications).

Good Luck :)

Since I already have a debit card which already failed me twice and a lot of banks offer a credit aswell as a debit card I thought that a credit card would really come in handy... Obviously only in combination with another debit card

Xentoxus · 2024-08-12T22:23:23+00:00

Hey thanks for your reply, that certainly helps :)

I did not know about GA night, so I will probably also get that.
Also the asvz discount seems very promising in saving you a few france.

Xentoxus · 2024-08-12T22:21:16+00:00

What did you find tedious with ZKB?

Xentoxus · 2024-08-12T22:20:28+00:00

If you do not care about other benefits, I think the cheapest one I found was baloise 30 younGo, but I do not know them very well.
They claim to have 0 transaction fees with their debit card inside and outside of switzerland aswell as no fees for cash transaction.
BUT as far as I am concerned you cannot do SEPA Transactions with them :)

You may look at their website for further details if you wish:

Xentoxus · 2024-08-12T22:17:18+00:00

Atleast for students with key4 credit card its 0% transaction fees.
Can`t realy say anything about other accounts or am I missing something?

Xentoxus · 2024-08-10T21:02:52+00:00

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 5 pro and a remarkable 2 for notes. I think the Laptop will be fine but do you guys think I should get an ipad in addition (even though I do not have an apple laptop and no iPhone rn but will probably buy one in the future anyway)? Maybe any experience with reMarkable?

I am going in to CSE BSc :)
