Episode 2 - How to prepare your stay

So you've found the right study programme in Germany and got in? Congrats! But now it's time for the "Papierkram" (meaning "Paperwork" - a German word you'll hear a lot from now on). While the rules around visas can differ from country to country, there are some questions that everyone will have to answer before leaving to study in Germany. For example, how much German should I already know? What kind of jacket do I need to bring? Do I need to find accommodation beforehand? And how can I prepare myself emotionally to start in a new country?

In the second episode of "Study in Germany - The Podcast", our host Jana and her guest, Juliana, who came from Colombia to study Insect Biotechnology at Justus Liebig University in Giessen, chat about all of this.
