Good college and well-lit campus.
Tips: I strongly advise students to have a solid financial base, as there are significant costs involved, including semester tickets, tuition fees, and health insurance. I recommend exploring education loan options to cover these expenses; everything else is manageable.
Likes (Student Life): The university is located in a very good location with excellent transportation and comfortable accommodations. The spacious, well-lit campus, coupled with friendly staff, is a major plus. Living in Berlin itself is also a significant advantage, as locals are very friendly and respectful.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It's quite difficult to find authentic Indian restaurants in Berlin. Some are overpriced, while others aren't even Indian. There are also very few vegetarian options. I recommend that people cook their own meals most of the time and eat out only 1-2 times a week.

It is a good option for entry to Germany.
Tips: Before coming to Germany, make sure you have good language skills and financial backup. If you don't get a job, you'll need to survive after your blocked funds are used up. Due to the economic crisis, newly arrived students are experiencing cost-cutting measures that make survival difficult.
Likes (Safety): It's been 6 months in Berlin, and I've travelled here every hour, even at midnight, and there's nothing to worry about. On weekends, Berlin is more lively and vibrant, so no need to worry about safety. Here, on the street, you can find many beggars, but they won't harm you, and there's police available within a minute.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university campus has a high volume of English-speaking students, making it difficult for me to find a part-time job on campus. I was already finding it hard to find work anywhere in Berlin before coming here. I have to learn some skills in the job market of my field before I can come here. If I learn some German, I might have better luck.

The university is good but we are hardly provided with any internship.
Tips: Before joining this university, I would recommend checking online reviews and the alumni of the university on LinkedIn. It’s also important to talk to someone who is currently studying there to find out how they’re managing their studies and what problems they might be facing in their career path and at the university.
Likes (Public transportation): There is a U-Bahn underground train station close to the university and bus stops nearby, making it convenient to access the central train station. The campus is also walkable and accessible by bicycle.
Dislikes (Internships): The college is not helping its students find internships. If they were, then it would be easier for students to get jobs, and easier to advance on their career paths. They should form a network of alumni who have found jobs and can guide current students in the process.

There aren't many internship opportunities available on campus.
Tips: There hasn't been much of a cultural shift since I moved from India, mainly because IU is about 90% Indian students. That gives us a strong sense of being at home here. I didn't receive any scholarship, as None were available at the time. I'm very satisfied with the country—Germany—and the city, Berlin. As for IU, I'm somewhat satisfied, not completely, because in most public universities, you can get admission for free.
Likes (Post study jobs): In Germany, there is no concept of on-campus jobs, so everyone has to find jobs on their own, whether you are from the Technical University of Munich, BSBI, or IU. There are countless opportunities available, but the job roles you are eligible for and the salary packages generally depend on your qualifications, experience, and GPA. Plus, once you start working, you will be provided with a work visa. After five years or three, in the past, you could apply for permanent residence. The only condition is that you must be proficient in German at the C1 level or higher, which could be either C1 or C2.
Dislikes (Internships): At IU, there aren't many internship opportunities available on campus because the teachers aren't permanent and often change. As a result, there isn't a consistent teaching assistant or support staff in place. That's why most students look for work opportunities outside the university. If you're studying Computer Science, you'd search for internships related to your field, and the same goes for BBA and other programs. As I mentioned earlier, the internships can be relevant to your field, as long as you choose the right one.

IUBH with an Indian mindset.
Tips: Most of the students at IU are Indian, so for me, there was not much of a transition. Because of the high Indian students, there are a lot of good Indian restaurants in the area. I did not avail any scholarship. I love it here, except for the harsh language, which I am not used to, but I believe I'll be fine. As the university is for three days a week, it is quite manageable to study and work. There are lots of cafes, restaurants, and places where you can work part-time to earn a living, with potential for 12-30 euros per hour. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): Not a lot of on-campus internships available, but there is a placement cell in the university for jobs and internships. However, the placement cell's prime focus is on jobs rather than internships. Various off-campus internships align with your field of study. I recommend doing your research to find them.

Understand the academic expectations, teaching style, and available support services.
Tips: I would definitely go for permanent residence if I get the chance. Learning German is crucial, C1 level to be exact. The majority of the students are Indian at IU, so I did not face a lot of cultural shift. I also didn't get any scholarships. But I am very satisfied with Berlin and Germany on the whole, and IU offers exactly what they promote on their social media pages and website.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are not a lot of on-campus opportunities, such as teaching assistants and other internships, but on the bright side, the university is located in the prime area of Berlin, so there are a lot of off-campus part-time jobs. The part-time jobs are quite manageable, as you're allowed to work 20 hours a week.

Diverse culture and academics at IU.
Tips: Obviously, there is a cultural shift for you. You are moving here for two years, and you will definitely miss your home culture. But here in Germany, there are many Indians here which will fill that gap.
Likes (Public transportation): The transport system in Germany is easy to navigate and affordable. The metro system is very well connected, and as a student, you'll get many discounts on travel. If you have your own bicycle, you can easily manage the cost of transportation.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are very few on-campus job opportunities, such as student advisory or student representatives. This means there are very few chances to get one of these jobs. As for off-campus jobs, there are internships and jobs at Amazon warehouses. They are pretty manageable, and the average pay is about 12 to 15 euros per hour. I don't have any scholarships, but I'm very satisfied right now.

Empowering, flexible, and globally connected.
Tips: IU Bad Honnef offers a flexible, blended learning model that combines online self-study with on-campus tutorials. Prospective students should be prepared for a self-directed study environment and understand that discipline and time management are key. As a private institution, tuition fees can be on the higher side. Be sure to investigate the fee structure thoroughly and ask about any additional costs or administrative fees that might apply. Transitioning here meant adjusting to a more independent and structured academic routine compared to what I was used to. There's definitely a cultural shift in everything from classroom etiquette to daily social interactions is different in Germany. Although courses are taught in English learning basic German is highly recommended. It makes daily life, networking, and integration into the local community much smoother.
Likes (Quality of faculty): My typical day starts with engaging lectures and interactive tutorials that are interspersed with group study sessions. Between classes, I often catch up with friends in communal areas or the library, which is equipped with comfortable spaces for both work and relations. The campus organizes a wide range of events from cultural nights and sports tournaments to career fairs and guest lectures. I usually participate in these events at least once or twice a week, which not only breaks up the academic routine but also gives me a chance to explore new interests and network with peers. There's a rich variety of student clubs available. I'm involved in sports clubs like basketball and soccer, cultural groups, and academic societies that align with my interests. These clubs foster a sense of belonging and provide opportunities for leadership and creative collaboration. The best part about college life here is the balance between rigorous academics and a supportive, fun social environment. The diverse mix of students from different countries makes every interaction a learning opportunity, both culturally and professionally.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The faculty brings extensive industry experience and deep academic knowledge, which enriches every lecture. They're not just delivering content but they're sharing real-world insights that make complex subjects more understandable and relevant. Faculty members in my department are very accessible. They maintain open office hours, respond promptly to emails and online queries, and are always willing to discuss challenges or explore new ideas. This consistent availability makes it easy for students to get the help they need, whether in person or via digital platforms. What sets our department apart is its hybrid approach to learning. We benefit from a blend of traditional in-person tutorials and flexible online self-study modules. This method allows for interactive, real-time discussions during on-campus sessions while giving us the freedom to review recorded lectures and digital materials at our own pace. It's a system that not only caters to different learning styles but also encourages independent thinking and practical problem-solving. The teaching staff is impressive and diverse, with lecturers hailing from multiple countries and cultural backgrounds. This international mix not only broadens our perspectives but also enriches classroom discussions with varied viewpoints and global insights.

Great education, student-friendly and provides lots of opportunities
Tips: Before joining, students should find out about the visa application process, language requirements, and any part-time job opportunities that might be available. It’s also a good idea to research the cost of living, the options for accommodation, and the cultural differences between your current home and your new university’s location. I have a good chance of settling down in Germany, given my background in technology and the fact that the country offers both a strong career path in tech and AI. Also, there is a clear pathway to a permanent residence permit. However, meeting those prerequisites might be difficult without being fluent in the language. Overall, I’m delighted with my university, my course of study, and living in Germany.
Likes (Safety): Germany is one of the safest countries with the lowest crime rates, reliable transportation, and efficient emergency services. The university also has strong security measures, including 24/7 campus security and an emergency helpline.

Tips: Students should have a good plan for how they will manage their expenses, and because the university provides so many facilities, students should know how to use them and take advantage of them efficiently. Also, the university provides the opportunity to socialise and meet new people, so students should try to take advantage of that as well. Every place is well connected and since I have my student ID, I can travel freely to some extent and visit different places, all at affordable prices. I don’t mind paying a set fare if it means that I can travel to different places safely. Also, the travel from my room to university takes a minimum amount of time and the trains are available at every moment. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences so far.

It's a wonderful college and provides a lot of work experience.
Tips: I didn't get any scholarships. As a student from India, the cultural differences are big. As it's an international university, the immigration support is great from the University end, and the procedures done are fast enough, the support system is reliable on an overall basis. But as an online student, you can feel a little delay while communicating directly with the university. I'm satisfied with the country and city, but the university could be better. Overall, though, I am happy with the opportunities I have found here.
Dislikes (Part time work): The part-time job support from the university is not all that great, and all you can expect are references or LORs from professors. The course is, however, relevant, so you can expect to find employment after you graduate.

A flexible and career-focused learning.
Tips: Before joining IU International University, students should know that it offers flexible learning options, including both online and on-campus programs, making it suitable for different lifestyles. The university provides internationally accredited and recognised degrees, ensuring global career opportunities. However, self-discipline and time management are essential, especially for online learners, as courses require independent study.

Not too competitive, a laid-back environment that still allows you to compete on a global scale.
Tips: For those who can afford the upfront costs, studying at IU International University of Applied Sciences can be a valuable experience. Knowing German will really help. The university is nice, but you'll get some culture shock, and money matters. At least try and pay the first year's tuition. Part-time jobs might be a little hard to find. Germany takes its students seriously. As a student here, you must be diligent in your academics. The university has a competitive educational environment. However, with strong credentials and skills, you may get sponsorship from the school and the salary is dependent on your degree level. Learn any skills you can, as this will enhance your resume.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Eating out at restaurants in Germany is quite expensive, so eating out only once or twice a week is probably a better option. If you know how to cook, eating in might be cheaper, and this is especially true if you are a Muslim. While you might have some trouble eating at the halal restaurant, there are some good options out there. Be aware that German food may not be to everyone's taste, but some Indian stores offer a nice change of pace from the usual German fare.

Flexible university and great faculty.
Tips: Students must know about the university and the place. The university is situated in Berlin, which is a pretty good place for international exposure. If I say about the culture-shift experience, I had a pretty good experience because in India we don't do much interaction with others because we know our country well. However, in Germany, you need to interact with others and make good networks to get a good job or get personal experiences. Plus, I didn't get a scholarship. I got in just by the grades I had in high school. But I am satisfied with my university, the course, and the country.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport in Berlin is very cheap, and if you get lucky, you get a semester discount on a ticket. The fare is around 50 euros for the general public, but for students, it's around 25 to 30 euros, which is very cheap. With this discount, you can travel around for free for a month all over Germany. The campus is well-connected to the city and everywhere students would want to go, so you are covered by this great deal.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food in Berlin isn't that spicy, which as an Indian is something I get a little used to. It's pretty good as far as fast food goes, but not that healthy. I prefer to cook for myself, as it's cheaper and healthier than eating out.

Tips: For students whose first language is not German, fluency in English and some German at least B1 level is essential for everyday life in this country. The university has excellent professors.

The university provides great amenities that can be fully utilized by the students.
Tips: The living costs are crazy high, so you'll have to budget like a pro just to get by. You'll learn to be very self-reliant also, so to do well, accountability is a must. The library stays up till super late, so make use of it during the deadline. My experience has been fulfilling as I have learnt a lot and found professors who are truly inspiring.

The classes are interactive and engaging.
Tips: The best thing about this college has got to be its location, how central it is if you are looking for something in the heart of Silicon Valley. You'll learn a lot of industry information, and classes are super relevant too. You get to explore a lot of cool case studies and personal projects here as well.

Lots of potential to grow.
Tips: I did see myself come out of my shell on campus and was truly able to embrace university life here. People are kind, and you'll have a lot to look forward to. Jobs are not really readily available, so come mentally prepared by doing some research. Public transport is decent, but biking is ideal. Also, the faculty are highly qualified and expert in their field. Feel free to reach out to them.

The classes here are very industry-relevant and practical.
Tips: The classes here are very industry-relevant and practical as well. Since San Jose is a tech hub itself, you will get the opportunity to network and be a part of some very passionate and well-versed individuals here, including your professors, as some of them have even worked in Silicon Valley. I have learnt a lot so far and had a good time overall.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are limited options available when it comes to working part-time, mainly because of the regulations in place. There are some on-campus opportunities, and you can try to look for a research position or a teaching assistantship. Other than these, there's not much available.

Lots to learn and grow.
Tips: Coming from Delhi, I was actually quite surprised by how relaxed and fun studying in San Jose is. The weather is ideal and the lectures are really engaging. The campus is diverse, and there are plenty of Indian students around. Also, don't skip the academic or career fairs; I landed my first internship like that.

he environment is very liberal and welcoming.
Tips: I initially took a while to get accustomed to the education system as it was wildly different from what I had experienced so far back home. But after a semester or so, I fell in love with the place. Here you are encouraged to learn and absorb the material in your own way, and even experimenting is encouraged. The environment is very liberal and welcoming, which is a lot of the reasons why I had such a great time in school.

The university campus is vibrant and diverse.
Tips: My best decision was coming to study here. I have enjoyed every minute I spent at SJSU, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the city as well. San Jose is a beautiful city, and I'm really glad I got to study here. I really recommend that anyone planning to study here do some travelling in the surrounding area. I should've applied for the scholarship. I think I'd have had a pretty good shot at getting one. But the scholarships probably didn't have much impact on what I was learning, so I don't think missing out on them affected my studies too much. All in all, San Jose State University is a good place to study.

Great university to study at and greater opportunity to grow professionally.
Tips: Be prepared for a dynamic journey at SJSU. Right from class schedules, to assignments, to exams, quizzes, and much more, it will be a wholesome experience in your academic journey. Not only studies, but there are a plethora of opportunities to build other skills with their rich opportunity for various clubs and sports. Above all, networking opportunities are excellent around the Bay Area.
Likes (Public transportation): There are well-connected bus and train services around the campus, and they cover a fair bit of the city around the campus. For students, it is free as well. In addition, for students, there is an option for Baywheels (electric as well as normal) cycles to go from place to place.
Dislikes (Part time work): Being a state public university with a relatively smaller campus size, the number of available on-campus job opportunities may be limited compared to larger institutions. However, there are still provisions for students to apply for positions such as Teaching Assistant (TA), RA, and various other departmental or administrative roles.

Truly a unique place to be in and learn.
Tips: Things came across as overwhelming at first, but once I was able to better my schedule, I was able to really adjust to living here. People are friendly, but they also appreciate their space, so you might have to get used to that. I also received a scholarship for 6,000 USD, which made things more affordable for me. The coursework can be hectic, and the environment is not exactly stress-free, but it does pay off, I feel. Professors and faculty have been helpful as well.
Likes (Safety): The environment both on and off campus is pretty safe, with very few incidents and crime reports. When you are near San Francisco, you need to be more wary about pickpockets and such, which can be avoided if you are careful with your belongings in public spaces.

Great to grow individually.
Tips: You will need to balance your academics as well as your co-curriculum to the best of your ability while somehow managing living costs all from the first semester itself. In a way, studying here teaches you real growth and adulthood. The environment is pretty competitive and serious as well because mostly people come higher for their post-studies, like Master's or PhDs. Deadline and plagiarism is taken very seriously.

Our faculty is very dedicated, and they are more than happy to hear us out.
Tips: I did not expect to enjoy my major and campus as much as I have so far. This university truly gives you a glimpse of Silicon Valley life, and the professors are more dedicated to our classes than we deserve. They are on the ball to assist in research and/or assistantships. On the downside, the cost of tuition and other expenses remains high, and even though scholarships have reduced, you can rely on professors for roles in research and assistantship.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Our faculty is very dedicated, and they are more than happy to hear you out. What is important is that you respect their time and take advantage of office hours whenever possible. You should also show participation and feel free to express yourself. They are pretty diverse as well.

San Jose State University is quite expensive as compared to other colleges.
Tips: I have had a pretty decent experience at this school. However, I should also add that it's more expensive than many other schools where some of my friends attend. But this is mainly because of unavoidable factors such as lack of time and groceries, which have risen in cost. A meal plan can help save you time and increase convenience if you have a tight schedule like mine. The city is beautiful, and once you come here, you will have a hard time leaving. Since I am still studying here, I cannot say much about the job prospects, but so far, the situation does not look promising.

Good learning experience for shaping the career.
Tips: Students should come to college early, at least a month before starting college. Starting to apply for part-time jobs as early as possible helps to land part-time jobs easily. Reach out to professors for TA's and RA's both directly and over email, as it helps a lot in boosting your experience academically and helps a lot to build your profile. Attend a lot of networking events, talk to people, seek referrals, know about the tech, work on personal projects, attend conferences, join clubs, hackathons and build person branding form the beginning - all these helps a lot in shaping one's future and bring you lot of great opportunities and improves confidence. Internships, coding and job applications keep doing from the beginning.
Likes (Indian Food): I mostly cook at home and rarely eat out. Groceries from various countries are easily available, and the city offers a wide range of quality local and international cuisines. Although the cost of living and rent are slightly high, the college supports low-income and in-need students by providing food essentials such as vegetables, fruits, milk, and pulses through its pantry, which greatly helps students.
Dislikes (Safety): The college is located downtown, where there is a noticeable presence of unhoused individuals in and around the campus and even in the library. They sometimes cause trouble. As a result, walking around the campus for necessities can sometimes feel unsafe, especially during certain hours.

Absolutely great college with amazing infrastructure and diverse campus.
Tips: This college is well-reputed. The main thing is that, as you go for the feels option, they give us the option to pay fees monthly. This is convenient for those from middle-class families. I would not recommend making this your permanent home as you should always try new things. While the college is fine for staying in long-term, the campus is not that interesting. I'd also say this place is a good place to study and grow as a person. Campus security is good and it is really safe here. Everyone is friendly, so nothing to worry about. You can absolutely feel safe here. The teachers are caring, and all other staff are good, so overall security is great. Overall, I am satisfied with the college.

The popular courses here are primarily in STEM and the faculty is also well-reputed. You will have to undergo relatively grading in your classes which can often be make or break.
