🇩🇪 Why most intl students struggle in their first 3 months

It’s not because Germany is bad.
It’s because no one prepares you for this part.

⸻

🏠 Housing stress

Most students arrive with:
• Temporary housing
• Expensive short-term rooms
• Constant rejections

Finding a permanent place takes weeks or months — mentally exhausting.

⸻

📄 Paperwork overload

Anmeldung, tax ID, bank, insurance, residence permit.

• Everything needs appointments
• Everything has deadlines
• One missing paper = delay

This hits all at once.

⸻

💶 Money pressure

• Deposits (2–3 months rent)
• Semester fees
• First month costs are higher than expected

Savings disappear fast.

⸻

🌍 Culture shock

• People seem cold
• Silence feels awkward
• Rules are strict
• No flexibility

It takes time to adjust.

⸻

🧠 Loneliness

• Friends back home are far
• Making friends here is slow
• Language barrier doesn’t help

This part is rarely talked about.

⸻

🌧️ Weather & routine

• Grey skies
• Short days
• Less sunlight

It affects mood more than people expect.

⸻

🎓 Academic adjustment

• Different grading system
• Less guidance from professors
• More self-study

It’s easy to feel lost at first.

⸻

🔑 The truth

The first 3 months are about survival, not success.

If you get through them,
everything slowly becomes easier.
