One "problem" we have occasionally in Berlin: People enrolling as students without actually attending classes to get all the added benefits of being a student in Germany. Almost everything over here carries a student discount.

The student discounts you get isn't really worth it. The semester ticket for public transport though costs about 1€ a day. That is incredibly cheap compared to the regular tickets.

Other universities have the same problem though. In NRW you can practically travel through the entire state with a semester ticket at roughly the same price.

The Studenten-BahnCard saves you a ton of money on train travel too
