Friendly but make sure to focus on studies as it is not that easy.
Tips: There is not that much significant cultural shift, you will find people from your origin country but there will be cultural shift in specific places such as clubs and different things but mainly in university and shops, there are no specific differences.
Likes (Public transportation): The buses are good and they are on time. The majority of the time, there are direct buses from bus stop to the university stop and the pricing for that is very good and it is included in the sem contribution so it's literally zero for the price of public transportation.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The restaurants in the area are mostly non-vegetarian but the prices are reasonable for that kind of food. Since I am vegetarian there are some vegetarian restaurants which have good prices but the food is just okay. I usually ask for extra spice as it is a bit bland. I mostly prefer cooking my own meals.

Technically driven competitive college.
Tips: Students should know that RPTU requires strong academic dedication, so maintaining good grades and staying consistent with coursework is important. The APS certificate is essential for many applications in India. So preparing this early helps. Life here also requires being independent.
Likes (Student Life): Student life at RPTU is very well balanced and enjoyable if you make it. There is a good mix of academics research opportunities and personal time which makes managing studies much easier. I enjoy spending my day in the labs and libraries or attending classes and there are many sports facilities and cultural activities and events that keep the campus lively. RPTU also hosts job fairs and career events welcome weeks tournaments and international meetups.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer home cooked meals because most food available here doesn't fully match the Indian taste. There are a few restaurants that has international cuisine but authentic Indian flavours are little and often adapted to European preferences. This makes it harder to find meals that feel familiar so I cook at home. Also as a student we are on a tight budget.

Great university, big campus and nice courses.
Tips: TU Kaiserslautern is a very good university, especially for computer courses. The University campus is awesome, big, and well-structured. The Mensa or canteen is also very nice. There are 2 scholarship options at the university, the Deutschland Stipendium and DAAD Stibet. You must be in the top 5 students in your course in the 1st semester to be considered for the scholarships.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The University is very popular in the region, and offers good exposure to several companies for full time job opportunities. As an engineer basic salary starts at around 40-50k Euros per annum. Work visas are generally not sponsored in Germany, they can easily be taken from work council.

An amazing multicultural university with quality studies and peaceful life.
Tips: I am very much satisfied with this university because of the city being very student friendly and also the university itself being very academically focused with big cities like Mannheim and Heidelberg very close by which is good for job hunting.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no good Indian restaurants, hence it is much easier to cook food at home. Also eating outside is not efficient financially. There are a few indian restaurants but the food does not taste good with hefty pricing for eg. Matter paneer for 12 euros which is insane.

The university is good and friendly.
Tips: Your skill set as well as adapting to new exam conditions and the German Language as well as one must also be prepared for exams because it's like a competitive exam where you get 1.5 hours for 100 marks and the paper is always tricky so understanding the concept is ideal to pass them.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Because with faculty you can get job opportunities that are called Hiwi and you can get a technical expert with them so you can select your course and score good marks by attending their courses and then you can also secure a TA teaching Assistant role under the same professor.
Dislikes (Indian Food): You can get all types of restaurants but to getan Indian restaurant in Kaiserslautern it is a bit difficult. But other places have different cuisines like sushi and Mexican food but I prefer cooking at home because that is more cost effective for me and I can cook meals as I like as per my taste.
