Stuttgart city and TU Stuttgart experience.
Tips: The Stuttgart city is not like a typical European city, which someone would expect, but it has decent leisure options. You would probably meet more people from different parts of India itself. You need to put in effort to make friends with people outside your country. Few people also have the opportunity to get the Deutschlandstipendium which gives you a scholarship of 300 euros per month for a year. The university staff is responsive, and local people are helpful as well.
Likes (Public transportation): The S-Bahn stop is right at the center of the University, and not just that, even the bus stop is directly in front. Once you have the Deutschlandticket, the connectivity is great. You can get to the main station in around 15 minutes, and have a lot of other options to go to like parks, shopping centres.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are quite a few Indian restaurants around, which are decent, and you could go there once in a while. On average, the cost per person at a restaurant is at least 15 euros, and as a student, it is a bit on the higher side for a one time meal. Once you know how to cook, you would not prefer spending so much money for just one meal.

A perfect blend of academia and industry.
Tips: The academic transition was very drastic when I arrived in Germany. My Bachelor's at Savitribai Phule Pune University had a simple, straightforward curriculum and exam pattern, so it was initially difficult to adjust to the concept-based lectures and exams at Stuttgart. While I didn't apply for scholarships, interested candidates can find information online. I am completely satisfied with my university and course. As a technical university, Stuttgart offers complete freedom in choosing courses and electives based on individual interests. There are also opportunities for internships and working student roles, providing valuable industrial exposure and helping students optimise their career paths. Settling in Germany can be challenging due to the demanding language, cultural differences, and the current market situation.
Likes (Part time work): It is easy to find on-campus part-time jobs at the University, which are mostly known as HiWi (Wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft) or Student Assistant roles. In such roles, one can find and contact different Ph.D. students and assist them on their respective projects under their guidance and supervision. It is usually manageable to have a part-time job that amounts to 10 working hours per week, along with the regular academic activities. The average pay is around 13 euros per hour.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't many Indian restaurants in Stuttgart, and the ones that exist are either expensive or not very good. This is specifically about Indian cuisine; there are still great options for Italian, Thai, Korean, Mexican, or Turkish food in the city. I prefer cooking Indian food at home.

You should have very good German proficiency than your skills.
Tips: Nothing works here without fluency in German. You have to be responsible for upskilling yourself. Unless it is a compulsory internship, you won't get any help from the university for a voluntary internship. Learn German to mingle with the locals and get good jobs in the country.
Likes (Public transportation): With a Deutschland ticket, you get to travel all over Germany for 49 Euros. Stuttgart city has many connectivity options unlike other small cities, where sometimes the last bus will be at 7 pm and you will have to manage on your own afterwards. Long-distance Flixtrains are also cheaper.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Germany is under recession so it is hard to get jobs. The syllabus in university is outdated so you need to upskill on your own. The department never allows you to take a thesis in the company and the thesis topics in the departments are not industry-ready.

A research-driven university with strong industry connections.
Tips: Before joining the University of Stuttgart, students should prepare for a research-oriented academic environment with a strong emphasis on independent learning. The transition can be both exciting and challenging. Germany has a more structured and punctual way of life, and the cost of living in Stuttgart can be high compared to other cities, so financial planning is important.

Go to a tuition free university instead.
Tips: Self-reliance and the importance of upskilling are a must for students. Even though you can get part-time jobs while studying at this university, the amount you earn will go directly to your tuition, and the city is expensive compared to other small cities. RWTH is in Aachen, which is a better university and a cheaper city to live in.
Likes (Public transportation): Deutschland ticket makes it easier to travel across Germany for just 49 Euros per month except for high-speed long-distance trains like ICE. The trains in Germany are known to be late but let us be honest, only in Germany you can travel for this cheap. If you need high-speed trains for a low price, take Flixtrain for less than 10 Euros.
Dislikes (Value for money): The university is situated in one of the two states in Germany where they charge fees per semester and for the fees they charge we don't get enough benefits. The syllabus is outdated and is not up to the industry's needs. Professors are not helpful to students.
