An amazing place to be in, surrounded by very talented people.
Tips: I have transitioned in so many ways. I have never in my life cooked and lived without my family. But here I'm thinking every day what to cook. I learned how to cook here. I learned how to manage my expenses, studies, and part-time work altogether. Winter depression is really hard. This one year has taught me so much in so many ways and really shaped me into a new person. I'm very satisfied with the course, my university and my country. All the people in the university are always ready to help each other, that's the best part that I like about my university.
Likes (Value for money): Yes, the tuition fee at my place is justified. As my city is very small, the rent and supermarket prices are also very reasonable compared to Munich, Berlin, etc. Also, we get a student discount for the Deutschlandticket, which is very helpful for travelling all over Germany.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few Indian restaurants in my locality, but they don't bring the taste of the original Indian food with the flavour and aroma in them. They make it for foreigners, which is very mild in taste. I prefer cooking myself at home. By doing this, I can make food according to my taste buds; also, sometimes we friends come together and cook something. In that way, we get to spend some time together.

My university life transition from India to Germany
Tips: It took me a while to get adjusted to life here, as it is different from India. I got to know about student initiatives, and I joined them. From then on, my life was different. There are different scholarship options available for students. Every year, they can check and apply.
Likes (Public transportation): While city is walkable and it's rare to use a bus unless you are staying a bit far from the university. University is located in the Center of the city and all the buildings are Next to each other. Also as a student you get Deutschland ticket where you can use it to travel whole country.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of architectural and civil engineering companies around if a student can speak German they are very high chances of getting a job directly here if not it is a bit struggle to find a job in the city
Student has to move out of Weimar if they are looking for English speaking jobs

Its best at what it does.
Tips: Bauhaus University is small, international, and project-oriented. Weimar is affordable and peaceful but has fewer jobs and big-city opportunities. Students should be proactive with projects, internships, German learning, and networking. It does best at what it does.
Likes (Value for money): Value for money gets a full 5/5 because studying at Bauhaus Weimar gives you top-tier German education for virtually no tuition. You only pay a basic semester fee (Semesterbeitrag), which already covers regional transit. Renting a room in Weimar—whether in Studierendenwerk dorms or a shared flat (WG)—is wildly cheaper than in cities like Munich or Berlin. Getting full access to design labs, architecture studios, and research facilities at a fraction of typical international study costs makes the ROI unbeatable.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I gave Indian food a 2/5 simply because Weimar is a small town in Thuringia where truly authentic food is hard to find. The couple of Indian restaurants here heavily hand-adjust their spices and recipes to match local German tastes. A basic meal out runs around €10–€20, which adds up fast. You'll find standard kebab spots, Italian places, and basic cafes, but if you want proper comfort food that actually tastes like home, you're better off getting spices from an Asian market and cooking in your apartment.

Bauhaus - Uni Weimar: Great for Research, But Prepare for the Small-Town Life
Tips: Before joining Bauhaus-Uni, you need to know that learning here is heavily project-based. Professors don't just lecture you; you're expected to spend endless hours in design studios, labs, or workshops working on practical, hands-on tasks. Weimar is a small, quiet cultural city—not a bustling metropolis like Berlin—so social life mostly revolves around your classmates and studio projects.
While English gets you through international Master’s courses, learning German is pretty much required for daily life, dealing with local landlords, and integrating into the town. On the money side, tuition is free save for the €300 semester fee (which covers your Thüringen transit pass), and rent in Weimar is very affordable. Look into DAAD scholarships early if you need extra monthly stipends, but overall, it's a great spot if you thrive on creative independence.

Student life at Bauhaus University Weimar
Tips: Be open to the culture; don't stay in your own bubble. Explore different opportunities provided by the university. Join initiatives to get high chances of scholarship. Make use of Erasmus and short-term blended intensive programs. This is a small university, but the number of opportunities is insane; it's up to the students on how to grab them.
Likes (Quality of faculty): They are really open and accessible. Bauhaus has a unique style of teaching that can be only experienced here. It is project- and assignment-based learning. Only a university with 4 different faculties, especially art, architecture, civil, and media.
Dislikes (Internships): It really depends on the job market and the courses you take. My course didn't have many opportunities nearby, and often people had to move to different states to do it. We don't have mandatory internships. Many companies don't know what digital engineering is, so it's also a problem while applying for jobs.

Bauhaus for internationals and experiences in the Bauhaus
Tips: There was, of course, a cultural shift, especially in the course curriculum, but professors will make sure that you follow the course well. Never shy away from asking questions whenever unclear. The International Student Council is also very helpful, and try to socialize with people, especially in winter. Although I did not avail myself of any scholarships, there are possibilities. One can apply for DAAD scholarships yearly. Germany is a beautiful country, and Bauhaus has the best professors, who have been experienced in the field for more than 2 decades; the course curriculum is always designed to meet industry standards.
Likes (Value for money): It covers the Deutschlandticket, museums, and other libraries in Thuringia that can also be visited for free. As someone who often travels in Germany, having a Deutschlandticket is hassle-free and affordable for students. I have also availed myself to visit a couple of UNESCO heritage sites for free.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no Indian grocery stores in the city; however, they are available in a nearby city, which is 30 minutes away from Weimar. But there are a couple of Indian restaurants in the city, which are pretty reliable. I mostly cook for myself, or I eat in Mensa (Mensa serves Indian dishes at times).
