What I found quite strange and disappointing after a while at HM was that many students in my classes didn't really want to become proper friends anyway, because their circle of friends was already full with friends and friend groups of their previous private and school life. For me Uni looked like a great opportunity for a new start, since I didn't have many friends coming out of my Ausbildung but found that quite a few guys were only interested in "Uni friends", comparable to friends at work, which means they would almost never like to meet up in a private setting (only for special occasions once/twice a year) and the topics of conversation would mostly stay around Uni/jobs/subject of study... Yes I did find "private" and closer friends as well, but it was definitely harder than expected.... Okay engineers aren't really social animals anyway and the total lack of girls also means a lack of healthy and inspiring group dynamics, so those points aren't helping xD
I'm excited for when I start college (probably next year if I pass the entrance exam), I'm always nervous because I can never talk to anyone because of introversion and your video made me calm down, I really needed it for a video like this, thank you very, very much
Hi Max, amazing video as always. I actually just started my first semester and I can relate to a lot of what you said. It would be really nice of you if you could also drop a video about how was the first year (Grundstudium) and what kind of study methods are good for the university
I couldn’t attend the orientation week. And now it is my second day in Uni. I could not find a one single Friend. But my friend is going to come in two weeks. But I think all the groups are already formed. What do u think I should do?
thanks for this , was wondering as an expat - should you choose german taught or english taught computer courses in applied sciences uni's ? provided that i am fluent in german upto B1 level . also do you code in english or in german ?
Ideally, English courses but many universities of applied sciences don't offer courses in English. Usually, bigger universities do this, like TUM and LMU But in the end, coding is not bound to any specific language so your German might be enough! And I code in English :)
an amazing video, as always! i'm actually that extrovert who talks to everyone, lol
dope, you're doing a great job!
@@maxyoko thanks, man!
Everyone reading this, I’m sure y’all gonna make it through the first semester ☺️
We are all gonna make it!

hmm this might depend on the uni and the people there but I can definitely understand what you mean
Glad you've found your people!
Where did you find your closer friends? :)
@@presidentofrepublicofmoai5951 well partly at University (but as I said not many and it wasn't easy) but also through other hobbies

Your videography is absolutely insane , bro which camera you use for videos and pictures ?
thanks, man! I use the Sony a6600 for everything :)
Can I transfer from my university here in Ghana to Berlin to finish and get my degree??
I believe you can come as an international student
But I don't know if you can actually finish the degree you started in Ghana

This calmed me down, even though I'm already doing my Masters. Is that weird? :D
you're doing great my man!
every introvert's patience on waiting an extrovert to find her :)
waiting to get adopted haha
it's been 1 week and I still have no friends. Guess I'll die alone
I won't let that happen
Would these tips also be helpful for ones attending a Fachhochschule in Germany ?
Yes. Maybe the campus isn’t that big but all the other tips still are important.
yeah absolutely, in the end, you're also dealing with people there!
Good stuff ×16
