To my knowledge fully furnished apartments to rent long term aren't common in Germany. Apartments tend to be completely bare when tenants move in and when old tenants move out they usually take everything with them. How long do you intend to ... Read More

Schools/ Ways to Study & Attain a Student Visa Longer than 3 -6 Months by mike8787

Hallo! My boyfriend (who lives in Munich) and I (who live in NYC) are planning my move to Munich in September and I am exploring all possibilities of the right type of visa to get/where to study/what to study/to study at all and try and find ...

Karenp

For concrete advise just make an appointment at your nearest German embassy - germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/04__Legal/02__Directory__Services/01__Visa/__Visa.html. For what it's worth I don't see much point in getting a tourist visa as it will ... Read More

Freie Universitat Berlin or Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin by felicia_quah

Hi! I want to study my master in either one of these universities - Freie Universitat Berlin or Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin. Anyone knows anyone working in any of these universities???? Grateful for your help. :)

Can i survive by speaking only English in Berlin? by roman_greek

Hello everyone! I was just wondering what is the level of English knowledge in Berlin or Germany in general? I really want to pay a visit at some point, but unfortunately i do not speak any German. Would English be sufficient?

Karenp

There are lots of jobs that require English but without any German you will be limited only to meeting other expats for a social life. There are also often job listings in English on toytown.com Read More

How important is having a car? by kc9ddi

Hello all - I'm an American with dual Irish citizenship, and have been seriously pursuing some employment opportunities in Ireland. I'm thinking that what I'd like to do is work in one of the larger cities (Dublin or Galway, preferably), but live ...

Karenp

It depends where you find accommodation. If you want to live an hour away from the city center in Dublin and commute every day then you should look for a place that is walking distance to either a dart stop (intercity train) or a luas stop (tram.) ... Read More
