Guys once this is all over and we are all settled in our schools, apartments, ect. i think it would be so cool if we could all meet up somewhere in Germany in the Fall. I kind of want to make some sort of Facebook group or something to keep us all together? Thoughts?  

Isn’t there anyways such thing like a meeting in Bonn with all the newcomers?

I would be down to do that. A meet up sounds fun.

[Lentiful]

Oh yeah theres a meet up in Bonn? I didn't know! Awesome! - although i'd rather do something non-DAAD organized

Hi Everyone! I'm a doctoral student who will be based in Bonn in the fall! Does anyone have advice on how to start looking for housing?

I'm applying through uni-assist now. I've sent them all my documents, and I'm just waiting for them to process it all.

@lekamuse Hi, I will be based in Cologne for a bit and then in Aachen, both an hour away from Bonn  

I think you can start looking at your university housing (studierendenwerk ), but you'll have to check if you are eligible.

Else, there is Apartment sharing (Wohngemeinschaft).

These websites might be of help.

I am still searching too. Many have told that it's better to go there during your language course and meet the landlord/roommates in person. Not sure if that's a sound advice. Whats your plan?

Hello! Congrats to those who've been funded!! I submitted my declaration of acceptance yesterday. Did any of you receive a confirmation of your submission? Also, does anyone know what comes next?... (additional paperwork, etc.)

Thanks in advance. 

[Lentiful]

if anyone wants to be part of the fb page, i'll set one up. Can you email me with your Facebook name, your target institution in Germany, the scholarship you received, and anything else you'd like to include, I just want to get a feel for who we've got.  - I'm Alicja - ar3881@nyu.edu - posting this hoping i don't get spammed! 

[MicTric]

I think it's easier if you link here the fb group, just saying.

However, I think I'll join the group only after the response from daad because i'm superstitious

This seems like a dumb question but we did not have to sign the declaration of acceptance, correct? I would have thought we would, but there's no signature line?

Has anyone applied for the EPOS (Development Related Post-Graduate Courses for foreign) Scholarship? My application status changed to selection made on April 10th and I am still waiting.

Hello, everyone! Have been reading a forum for a while, and now I'm writing here for the first time. My status changed to "Funding" on Tuesday, but I have not received any email from DAAD yet. How long did you have to wait before official email confirmation?

[Nigina]

Update: I received an email!

Who will have their language course in Goettingen?
