Very amazing faculty and student life.
Tips: Be prepared to be as active and involved as much as you can; these things make learning easier. There are no doubt cultural shifts, which are natural, but I guess one should take all of this in a positive aspect, and try to be as involved as possible to enjoy to the fullest. They have a BCGS scholarship programme, so you can apply for that.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): International student hub, diverse culture, social activities, events. It would be good to have some conversational knowledge of German beforehand to fully indulge in college life and events. A student gym, wellness activities are there and events in the Student dorms are also there.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Very friendly and adjusting faculty. Ready to help, separate office hours. Each course also has separate tutors, so students can easily clarify their doubts. A good experience, but students should remember that they put in their effort as much as possible.

Great opportunity with low tuition fees. Plan your courses and thesis.
Tips: Had the opportunity to experience various cultures. Staying in a different country by ourselves is tough, and it took me time to get used to the climate. I am, in general, very satisfied with the courses and the country. Learning the German language can be very beneficial, but the university does not offer enough places in its German course.
Likes (Public transportation): The city of Bonn is, in general, well connected, with trams and buses. The student ID gives access to public transport. But I heard that it has gotten harder to find accommodation, and people are finding it in remote areas of Bonn. This makes it tricky to travel to campus every day.
Dislikes (Internships): At least, when I studied, the Physics department was conservative in its practices. It was not easy to convince the department and finish related paperwork for an internship/thesis outside the university. Finding an internship depends on our planning. Germany offers internship opportunities in various subfields of Physics.

Inside MSc Astrophysics at Bonn.
Tips: There is an option to get scholarships under the BCGS framework but it is extremely competitive. The transition from an Indian system of education to the German one is significantly tougher than I had initially presumed. The course structure is awfully hard and the pace can sometimes overwhelm students. But it's an absolute goldmine for those who love this subject.
Likes (Student Life): A lot of student organizations regularly meet at different events and parties. They make sure you feel included. Lots of Beer, free pizzas and barbecue parties, board games, sports and politics are all very common here. You will never feel bored but you may feel overwhelmed.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food restaurants usually make Indian food in a 'western style'. Authentic Indian food is costly and rare. A solid community of Indian workers means that sometimes you could ask for 'Indian Style' food items and they may provide you with one that tastes just like back at home.

A warehouse of experiences and learnings.
Tips: The modules are designed in a way that gives you flexibility, so choosing the modules is crucial. Choosing a path before joining is also important, so you want to go on academia or go into industry. That will shape your modules. Knowing the fact that 1st semester is difficult for everyone. So, working very hard in the first sem will be very beneficial. Start searching for jobs in the second semester. 1st semester is to settle here, get to know things. Coming to Europe has its perks, like a good lifestyle or travelling through countries but the 1st priority should be studies. Bonn has taught me a lot. Being responsible is one of them. Through modules and projects, I have shaped myself in the financial industry.
Likes (Student Life): Student life here is a good package of international exposure, studies and experiences. Through living in dorms, we get to have various experiences by cooking together, making new friends, celebrating festivals and also studying together. University life is a good mix of local and other nationalities. Particularly, for Bonn, the faculty is very good, and the modules are well articulated with many options in electives.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Being a vegetarian, there are limited options in Indian food as well. It's always better to cook for ourselves as the restaurant doesn't have the value of money and taste, also not as expected. The restaurants are expensive for a student's budget. However, eating out once a week is totally okay.

The courses are difficult yet rewarding.
Tips: Courses are difficult, so be prepared for difficult assignments and a lot of hard work. Since we come from a different background, it is challenging to get accustomed to the education system here. Especially the compulsory subjects are difficult, so be ready to spend a lot of hours studying. That being said, the course is very rewarding and you get good internships or a teaching assistantship as a part time job.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation fee is included in the student semester fees (twice a year). So you don't need to pay extra for public transportation. Public transport is very well connected in the entire Germany and the app works fine too. Available modes are bus, tram and underground trains.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As a vegetarian, it is challenging to find options in Germany in general. There are indian stores and restaurant but finding authentic restaurants is a challenge. However, you can find all ingredients if you are comfortable cooking. I do like eating outside but limited, mostly cooking is the best option.
