Berlin

Why Berlin?

Berlin is the Germany's most important political, economic and cultural center. In addition to its enchanting architecture, rich culture and beautiful historical sites, Berlin is also a popular destination for students because of its high quality of education.

Especially in Berlin, Germany's capital of cool, learning German can be easy and fun.
 

Living in Berlin

The German capital's famous art scene, coupled with a relentless nightlife, gives the city its energetic yet undeniably gritty character. With its beer gardens, museums and art galleries, Berlin is more than capable of supplying tourists and locals alike with a steady dose of German culture.

Hard work is appreciated in Berlin, but so is the ability to relax. Supermarkets and retailers are closed on Sundays and public holidays, while most cafes have a strict ‘no laptop’ policy at the weekend. It's important to develop a thick skin, whether you learn the language or not. Germans have a reputation for being brutally honest, but that's not to be confused with rudeness.

Berlin is a city with a unique atmosphere: cosmopolitan, full of history and stories, with sometimes blunt, sometimes charming, but always distinctive people.

Transport: All modes of transport are available in Berlin during the day, including the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, buses and trams. The U-Bahn and S-Bahn are the most efficient forms of transport.
 

Living expense

For the living expenses you will need to budget between € 300-350 (Euro) per month to cover the costs of food, transportation, and leisure activities, but you will also need to account for your accommodation, tuition fees, plus any relevant student, application or permit fees. Keep in mind the cost of living may be higher or lower depending on where you live.

There are some useful websites you can use to help budget for your time in different countries. One option is Expatistan, which calculates the cost of living in the Berlin using up-to-date, crowd-sourced data.

For your banking and payments options in Berlin, you generally pay in Euro. You can make purchases at stores using coins and notes, or a debit or credit card.
 

Cuisine culture

One of the aspects of studying abroad that can cause cultural conflict for international students is eating habits. German food is known to be heavy and hearty. In fact, like the people and culture, the food available in Berlin is diverse.

Traditional Berlin cuisine is rustic and hearty. It is based on pork, goose, various types of fish, peas, beans and potatoes. Three typical Berliner dishes are Currywurst, Eisbein and Berliner. However, Berlin food & drink culture is a unique blend of German, French, Western, Thai, Austrian, and Turkish culinary specialties.
 

Shopping

With a shopping experience to suit every taste and budget, Berlin is full of opportunities for retail therapy– whether it’s designer labels at Kurfürstendamm, buying vinyl at Nowkölln Flea Market or getting lost in literature at one of Berlin’s many bookshops.

You can do your supermarket shopping at Rewe, Aldi, Edeka, Lidl, Kaufland, Penny, Netto etc.

Keep in mind the supermarkets and retailers are closed on Sundays and public holidays.
