Heading to Germany for your bachelor’s is exciting, but packing can definitely be tricky! To avoid overpacking while making sure you have everything you need, focus on bringing the essentials: your passport, health insurance proof, and bank cards, along with a solid selection of seasonal clothes (layers are key). You’ll also need your laptop, phone, and chargers, plus adapters for European plugs. While Germany has great stores for toiletries, bring any personal medications and a few basic items to start. For academics, pack your essential stationery and textbooks you already have. When it comes to non-essentials, skip bulky items, like extra clothes or heavy textbooks, and instead, focus on a comfortable pair of shoes, a reusable water bottle, and a small first-aid kit. Don’t forget a bike lock or helmet if you plan to cycle, and leave room for items you might pick up once you’re there. With a bit of strategic packing, you’ll be all set for your time in Germany! Safe travels!
