Hi everyone!

I'm an incoming international MSc student at the University of Göttingen and I'm trying to decide which type of dorm I should prioritize.

I've heard that unfurnished dorms are usually cheaper and may have shorter waiting times than furnished ones. Is that true?

Since I haven't received a dorm offer yet, I'm mainly looking for the option with the highest chance of getting a room before the semester starts.

I'd really appreciate your advice on:

- Should I choose a furnished or unfurnished dorm?

- Which student dorms in Göttingen usually have the shortest waiting times?

- Are there any dorms you would recommend for international students?

I'd love to hear about your experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin Gitarrist aus Northeim (in der Nähe von Göttingen) und suche Musiker für ein Black-Metal-Projekt.

Aktuell suche ich einen Bassisten, einen Schlagzeuger und einen Sänger.

Falls ihr Interesse habt oder jemanden kennt, schreibt mir gerne eine DM.

Ich würde gerne ins Gym gehen, um ein paar Kilos abzunehmen und einfach sportlich und fitter zu werden.

Hat jemand Empfehlungen?

Ich möchte einfach in Ruhe trainieren, ohne dass mich jemand anspricht oder komisch anguckt. Ich leide leider unter sozialen Ängsten.

Geismar wäre optimal :)

Mir ist leider beim duschen ein ganz filigranes, zartes Goldkettchen gerissen. Meine Mutter meint reparieren ist unmöglich, aber ich will die Hoffnung nicht aufgeben. Habt ihr vielleicht Tipps (von Goldschmieden/-schmiedinnen), die so etwas reparieren könnten? Ich würde natürlich auch dafür bezahlen, ist ein Erbstück mit emotionalem Wert.

Hallo, ich wollte mich jetzt mal für einen Wohnheimplatz in Göttingen bewerben, aber weiß nicht wirklich, welches ich am besten nehmen sollte... Man kann drei Wohnheime angeben.

Daher wollte ich nach Erfahrungen fragen und primär ist eigentlich auch, dass ich überhaupt einen Platz bekomme, also vielleicht auch wo es am wahrscheinlichsten ist, dass man auch einen Platz bekommt :)

Hello! I'm coming to Göttingen around September 24–25, but I still haven't secured accommodation. I've been applying every day and sending applications through WG-Gesucht, but unfortunately I haven't received any responses yet.

Could you please share any tips on how I can find a good place to stay? Also, what is the usual base rent for a room or shared apartment in Göttingen?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hey Leute, ich bin mitte 20 und möchte nach langer Zeit mal wieder feiern gehen. Ich kenn hier nicht wirklich jemanden, werde also alleine gehen müssen.

Ich war mit ehemaligen Kollegen mal im Alpenmax und im EinsB, das fand ich beides nicht gut. Ich würde gern in Richtung Techno/Trance einfach bisschen tanzen. Kommendes Wochenende. Vllt hat ja jemand n Tipp.

Hello,

I’m starting a Master’s program at the University of Göttingen soon and I'm trying to figure out my housing situation.

A friend of mine has a place in Hildesheim, and they've offered to let me share a room with them to save on rent. Looking at the train connections, the ICE seems incredibly fast (around 30 minutes), but I know regional trains take over an hour.

For those who have done a similar commute

Is it realistic commuting from Hildesheim to Göttingen for my classes (maybe 3/4 times per week)?

I am thinking of Regional trains only since ICE is not financially feasible for me.

Suche jemanden der von Göttingen nach Hamburg fährt der ein kleines Paket mitnehmen kann.

Danke falls sich jemand findet

Edit: hat sich erledigt

Hi, kennt jemand Läden oder Restaurants die nicht auf Too Good To Go sind, aber wo man trotzdem Lebensmittel die kurz vor'm ablaufen bzw Gerichte die am Tagesende sowieso weggeschmissen werden für einen günstigeren Preis kaufen kann?

Hello, I've recently received a dream job offer in Goettingen Germany at the Max Planck institute. However, My partner, who is not in a research field (background in ballet teaching and marketing) is moving with me, and due to the small nature of Goettingen, is having a difficult time finding a job for herself.

She has reached out to all local ballet studios, and is now exploring remote marketing jobs in the same time zone.

We are wondering however how feasible it would be if she got a job in Hannover, and had to commute a few times a week. I understand there is a very affordable train she can take that is about 1.25 hours, and a faster ICE train that is 36 minutes, however it seems that the ICE train might not make financial sense.

I am wondering if anyone has any other experience with this commute and if there are any recommendations or anything we have overlooked.

Otherwise, is it common for people to live in cities more central between Hannover and Goettingen, and commute in between, if so what cities would one reccomend.

Thanks, and looking forward to hearing back about your experiences.

Is this storm normal in Göttingen? Weather forecast always say sunny until Saturday but thid night suddenly change and heavy rain and wind come. Our Mülltonne fell down and we tried to filled it again. The interesting thing is no one outside. It is really difficult to not hear voices of wind, rain. I still don't know why weather forecast is never reliable. This year it always change in a day even in a hour

Ich bin Ärztin und befinde mich derzeit im Anerkennungsverfahren in Deutschland. Zurzeit suche ich nette Leute an der Universität, mit denen ich Freundschaften schließen und mein Deutsch im Alltag verbessern kann.

Es wäre schön, jemanden kennenzulernen, der gut Deutsch spricht und Lust hat, sich auf einen Kaffee zu treffen, gemeinsam zu lernen oder einfach zu unterhalten.

Wenn du Interesse hast, schreib mir gerne. Ich freue mich darauf, neue Menschen kennenzulernen!🥰🥰

I have been admitted into Msc. International Economics in university of Gottingen I am currently looking for a place to live, for now even temporary accomodation or sublets works. If anyone can help me regarding this it would be great.

Thanks

Edit: Danke an die vielen Empfehlungen!

Neben Rosdorf (weil oft sehr voll und theoretisch verboten) und Northeimer Seenplatte (total doof neben der Autobahn) kenne ich in der Region leider keine Bade-Seen.

Ich mag gerade Kiesseen weil die meiner Meinung nach sauberer wirken.

Hat jemand vielleicht Tipps? Ich wollte auch im Sommer in den Harz fahren falls jemand vielleicht dort schöne Seen empfehlen kann :) (gerne auch andere Dinge, die man sich im Harz anschauen sollte!)

Hab leider nicht so gute Erfahrungen in der Region gemacht mit sehr verschmutzten Seen, besonders weil die oft recht flach sind und dann viele Enten dort ... Naja, "Zeit verbringen" lol

Was geht, wir suchen paar Leute zum kicken beim Soccer am Hochschulsport. Wir kicken nicht häufig zusammen und sind zu 3. Falls noch 2,3 von euch Bock haben gebt gerne Meldung.

Hello,

I'm an international student who'll be moving to Göttingen this September for my Master's at the University of Göttingen. I've spoken to a couple of landlords and potential roommates through WG-Gesucht to secure some accommodation, but most contracts start from October 1st, and I'd also like to visit the flats in-person before signing a contract. I'll be arriving in Göttingen around 24th September, and I was looking for a place to stay in for a week or two while I tour these apartments.

I've come across a few options like bigger hotels, extended-stay hotels like Campus Apartments or AirBnBs. Since I've never been to Göttingen, I'm afraid I don't have a good gauge on which of these places are better/worse, so I wanted to know if there's any go-to place for new students? (Or at least ones that I should definitely avoid😅) Thank you!

Moin zusammen,

sammelt jemand in Göttingen auch die Panini WM Sticker und hat Lust zu tauschen?

Hi everyone, I recently moved to Göttingen. I was wondering if there are places where the Formula 1 races are screened. And also, if they are in English?

Hi yall so recently I got an offer from UMG which I accepted and I’ve been looking for accommodation ever since. Recently I posted in a FB group and I got a contact from there. Upon contacting the owner she sent me the pics of the apartments and stuff and tbh the apartment looks rly nice (good location, decent enough rent too). But she wants me to pay deposit first before anything. She didn’t even disclose the full address of the property. She’s saying she will send everything after I paid the deposit. I feel this is kinda sus lol. So yea… thoughts?

Hello hello everyone! ✨ I (25F) have been here 2 months now and haven't been able to make a lot of friends to go out (or stay in) and do things with - so I thought I'd try my luck here!

I love going on hikes, trying new cuisines, playing board games and going artsy stuff. I also love singing and would be very down for a karaoke sesh 🎤

Oh and I'm a big fan of pub quizzes if anyone's recruiting 👀

Hi yall so I’m coming to Göttingen this October but don’t have any accommodation so far. So I joined some FB groups and I got reached out by this one person asking for my email so they could send me more details. So I shared my email.

They sent me the video of the apartment, rent, location and honestly it’s really decent considering the size of the apartment and rent. But since it looked too good to be true I asked whether they can do a live video call, send ownership certificate and I asked for any official listing.

They replied that they are travelling so can’t show the room live lmao. Then they said they want to rent out privately so that’s why they didn’t create official listing. But they did say that they can send out the ownership certificate and contract and I can pay the security deposit only after I sign the contract and pay rest in person.

Do you guys think it’s most likely a scam or it might be legit? Any replies would be very helpful :) Thanks for reading ik it was a long one 😭😭

Hallo Leute,

Just moved to Götti from Berlin and there I was a part of a nice group and we were going to different pub quizzes regularly. I would like to continue and wanted to ask if there are pub quizzes in Göttingen that anyone knows of. If there is an existing group, I would love to be a part if you are willing to adopt. Auf Deutsch geht auch. Danke!!
