Make sure you have all the papers you need (I needed a special health insurance) before you come if you want to avoid administrative problems.

teachers and students are very kind but it takes some time to get in touch with them, just hold on and everything will be fine, you can find yourself very faithful friends and very kind teachers at the university!

try to get a part time job and try to choose your location. if you get some additional informations about potsdam and Germany in general before arriving you will be ready to face everything much better: you can find somo student jobs through the student office (Studentenwerk)and once you are there you have to try to be always informed.

The German Government here gives out financial assistance to students (including international students) who nominate their main residence as Potsdam and live here for the duration of their study - I suggest this be taken advantage of. Ask at the Studentwerk in Potsdam.
