- It would be really hard to think of something that i dislike. May be the administration can be less diplomatic.
- There is lot of paper work and they take long to reimburse your business trip expenses
Campus Life
University sports is what I use the most. Its cheap and really accesible. Its a huge university with 3 campuses so they have almost everything for extracurriculam activities. They have high tech labs. We have LAN connections in our office computers, we can use either university wifi or eduroam.
Accommodation
I got my wife here. I have rented a private apartment that cost 1000 euros including heating, wifi, internet electricity.

- They have the best computational modeling research group in area (Psycholinguistics) and I wanted to learn modeling in my PhD. I also got PhD offers from UC San Diego, University of Southern Carolina, and interview call for Max Planck. But I chose Potsdam over them because I knew what exactly I wanted to learn during my PhD and other factors did not matter to me.
- Fewer evaluations during PhD, research freedom, research facilities, work culture, peer group, location, German culture, access to travel in Europe, Berlin nightlife
Dislikes
- No cafeteria, too much bureaucracy
Campus Life
Facilities were all good. It is a very small campus. There are not cafe inside the campus, rest is good.
Accommodation
Average rentals in the city: 600 EUR per month.
