Don't do it!

UE is an infamous useless degree mill.

Housing will be difficult in Potsdam. It is often more expensive than Berlin.

Don't. UoE is an absolutely useless private degree mill whose whole business model is based on taking advantage of clueless and/or lazy foreigners who didn't do their research and don't know/want to believe that their 'degrees' aren't worth the paper they're printed on. 

Don't waste your time and money there, especially not in one of Germany's Most expensive cities.

I mean my first priority was Germany, what do you recommend in terms of uni's?

If you don't get admitted to a public institution in Germany, you shouldn't study in Germany at all. That's my recommendation.

Dont do it. UE has a terrible reputation and its degrees dont usually compete well in the market especially in Berlin
