On December 12, 2025, international students took part in the interactive session “Smart Living in Germany (and a Piece of Cake)” as part of the FIT: Welcome & Orientation program.
The session focused on helping participants navigate everyday life in Germany more easily, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Through practical input, discussion, and shared experiences, students gained valuable insights into local habits, cultural norms, and strategies for managing daily challenges in a new environment.
Highlights of the session:
✅ Practical tips for organizing everyday life in Germany
✅ Smart strategies for adapting to new cultural norms and expectations
✅ Insights into housing, shared living, and local habits
✅ Learning how to manage expenses and make the most of student life
✅ Experiencing the German tradition of coffee and cake in a social setting
Participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences, ask questions, and reflect on their own adjustment process. The session created a supportive environment that helped students feel more confident and better prepared for daily life in Germany.
Outlook
Further sessions within the FIT: Welcome & Orientation program will continue to support international students throughout their transition. Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to build practical skills and connect with others.
