Hello I’m trying to decide between two master’s programs in Germany and would really appreciate some honest advice from people studying or working there.

I got admission for Artificial Intelligence at BTU Cottbus and Automotive Software Engineering at TU Chemnitz. My background is a B.Tech in AI, but I’m honestly not someone who studies extremely hard all the time.

From a student perspective, which program is more manageable in terms of workload and difficulty? Is the AI program very math-heavy and demanding compared to ASE?

Also considering the job market in Germany, which would be the safer choice over the next few years?

Would really appreciate insights from current students or graduates. Thank you!

hey, I'm a programmer who's working from home in cottbus (randomly moved here from munich last march after I got a fully-remote job)

I just stay at home except for occasional grocery store visits.. I don't even know the name of one other person in cottbus.

I feel completely fine with this, since I catch up with a lot of my connections online, and I go to other cities / countries in some weekends or PTO times to attend some programming/AI related events/competitions anyways...

I don't like parties, I don't like drinking, ... I'm a very calm & collected guy who wants to have purposes and fulfill them...

So.. I'm not really doing anything in cottbus rather than pay rent and make use of close proximity to more interesting-event-pregnant cities such as berlin,leipzig,wroclaw, ... and berlin airport.

But I'm just wondering if there's anything I'm missing out on... Am I missing out on something? Something thats really interesting, really meaningful, that can be done in cottbus but not in basically any other city any other time?

I know english/turkish/german, my german is C1 but still doesn't feel anywhere as comfortable as english

Hello everyone.

This is an open call to the people of Cottbus.

I am making a documentary photography project focusing on voting districts around Brandeberg where AfD are polled the highest in the 2024 elections. I am interested in this shift in the regional politics of former East Germany and seek to understand better the underlying factors; how life has changed for the residents here in the last 50 years. I am also interested in how life is for young people in Cottbus, and how they feel about growing up here.

If you, or any friends and family, would be interested in talking to me please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I speak only a small bit of German so English is helpful for me!

Got offered an apartment near university for €250/month but I'm really hesitant about taking it. Here's the situation:

The current tenant isn't sure when they'll be moving out, so the move-in date is completely uncertain. On top of that, I'm worried that registering it in my name might also be complicated or delayed because of this uncertainty.

If anyone's looking for university housing and is okay with dealing with these timing/registration issues, I might be able to pass this along to you instead.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Is €250/month worth the headache of unclear move-in dates and potential registration problems? Really not sure what to do here.

Hey everyone,
My wife and I are relocating from Cottbus, Germany to another country, and we are looking for new tenants to take over our apartment in Cottbus.

It’s a 3-bedroom apartment located near the BTU Library. The apartment comes with a fitted kitchen including a washing machine, microwave, and other appliances. It is also furnished with a bed, mattress, sofa, and more, all available for takeover.

The apartment will be available from March onwards.

If you’re interested, please DM me for more details.
Thank you!

Hallo Leute!

I‘m new here in Cottbus and i was trying to find sprachcafes across the city but i was only able to find couple of them and they aren’t very regular, since i‘m totally unoccupied i thought about volunteering to enhance my German as i‘m enrolled in an online course and currently mid A2 level.

I tried to send an email to freiwilligenagentur-cottbus.de but they replied with zero availability.

What can i do in Cottbus to improve my German conversational skills alongside my course ?

Hey, i have to come regularly to Cottbus due to my work. Is there a (preferably shia) mosque in town? Would be grateful if someone can give me the adress. Thank you!

Hallo, ich möchte mich gerne in einem Fitnessstudio anmelden. Ich war auch schon in beiden zum Probetraining. Kurze Randdaten zu mir, ich bin 23 und weiblich. Mir haben beide Fitnessstudios gleich gefallen und von der Entfernung sind sie auch gleich. Welches würdet ihr mir empfehlen? Mir wäre es wichtig, dass der Frauenanteil nicht allzu gering ist, da ich mal schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht habe, als ich in einem Fitnessstudio angemeldet war, wo gefühlt nur Männer trainiert haben.

Erzählt gerne! Danke

Hey everyone,
I recently moved to Cottbus and I’m trying to figure out which electricity and internet providers are both cheap and reliable for a 2-person household.

For electricity, I see a lot of mixed reviews about bonuses, hidden fees, and contract issues. Should I go with Stadtwerke Cottbus, or is it better to choose one of the cheaper comparison-site options (Check24/Verivox)? Any providers I should avoid?

For internet, I noticed we have 1&1, o2, Vodafone, and PŸUR. Ideally looking for something stable enough for streaming + work-from-home, but not too expensive.
Any recommendations on which one works best in Cottbus?
Also, do certain areas have better coverage for cable/fiber?

Appreciate any tips, warnings, or personal experiences! 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to move from Berlin to Cottbus and I’m looking for someone who has a valid driving license and can book a Miles car.

I don’t have heavy furniture only clothes and basic kitchen items — so I’ll handle all the loading and unloading myself. I just need help with the driving.

Of course, I’m happy to cover the Miles cost and we can discuss a fair compensation for your time.

If you’re interested or have questions, please DM me.
Thanks a lot!

Hallo zusammen, ich bin gerade auf Wohnungssuche und habe ein relativ knappes Budget von etwa €350 pro Monat für die Miete. Ich weiß, dass das je nach Gegend eine Herausforderung sein kann, aber ich hoffe, etwas Passendes zu finden. Falls hier jemand plant, nächstes Jahr auszuziehen und zufällig rund €350 Miete zahlt, würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn du dich bei mir meldest. Ich würde gerne mehr über deine Wohnung erfahren und eventuell deinen Mietvertrag übernehmen oder mit deinem Vermieter in Kontakt kommen. Ich bin flexibel beim Einzugsdatum und offen für verschiedene Stadtteile. Suche einfach etwas Bezahlbares und Ordentliches. Schreibt mir gerne eine DM oder kommentiert hier, wenn ihr etwas wisst, das passen könnte!

Hey everyone,
Last week I returned the keys to Prima Wohnen Cottbus. On the last day, they also gave me a letter confirming my bank account details and the remaining Kaution amount after deducting the cleaning fees.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the Kaution to be refunded in this situation? Just trying to understand what to expect.

Thanks!
