Multi-dimensional, good networking opportunity and great research opportunity.
Tips: For the ones who have lived all their life in India, cultural shift will definitely be there. But it is also based on how much open one is to the experience and well as flexible to trying new things and adjusting to it, while also remaining their core values. The first semester goes on very quickly, so people need to stick to their routine and not get carried away by the external things too much. Enjoyment is good, but if the goal is for a good education and a job afterwards, then it needs to be focused. There are several scholarships like DAAD, Erasmus Mundus. They usually pay for everything, although it is competitive. There are some partial scholarship as well which can be availed once someone gets enrolled to support their traineeship/internship, semester abroad, supporting master's thesis, buying laptops etc. The course is very multi dimensional so if you need to get specified knowledge in one field, you need to pick your electives wisely and opt for a semester abroad, if possible.
Likes (Public transportation): The entire city is well connected with public transport. Plus now, the deutschland ticket provides access to all local and regional trains (except high-speed ones), buses, tram, ferries, ropeways etc. throughout Germany. As a student, the amount is within the semester contribution, so one does not have to pay anything extra, after that it's about 60 euros/month.
Dislikes (Part time work): I rated 4 because part time jobs are available, but most of them require at least basic German language skills, specially the ones involving customer interaction. A part time job of 10 -20 hours/week is quite manageable, if one plans their schedule well and follows a structured timetable. There are several options of finding part-time work: TU Dresden job portals like STAV, and external job agencies like Nexgenjobs, eBay Klienenzeigen etc.

One of the top 9 technical universities in Germany.
Tips: The city is good for international students and has Indian communities too for support. There are many incoming international students; thus, it's a friendly and student-loving city. The cost of living is average and manageable for students with the salary they get.
Likes (Value for money): There is no tuition fee at TU Dresden, as it is a public university. Also, it is one of the top 9 technical universities in Germany, making it the best university for international students. There are many English courses available, with great support from the university.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The market is a little tough to crack at this moment. The job postings do have a lot of jobs, but they are primarily jobs in the electronics industry. For some roles, you might be able to negotiate an internship that could eventually be a full-time job, or you might be able to find a student job and later negotiate a full-time position with that company. Additionally, if you can manage to learn some German, it would give you a leg up on the competition.

Master of Science in Computational Modeling and Simulation - Batch of 2027
3.6
Stressful and highly demanding coursework.
Tips: If you really feel you can opt for research-oriented programs, please go for it. This program demands high prerequisite knowledge. I did apply for a scholarship, and for that, you need a couple of prerequisites. Do not come in the mindset that you can finish your master’s in 2 years. It’s a myth. The trams and bus connections are very well connected and organised. From my dorm, I need to go 45 minutes to my university. The tram connections are usually great. You get buses and trams immediately, and the wait time is comparatively low. This is especially true on weekdays, but weekend service is much less reliable.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking by myself as I am able to cut down a lot of living expenses through that. The restaurants around my locality start from 10 euros minimum per meal, which is basically my half-week or a week's worth of grocery money. Try to save up as much money as possible, but don't be frugal in food.

There's an Indian association to help you with your accommodation and university boarding.
Tips: The transition was smooth. People here are independent, punctual, reserved, polite, friendly and welcoming. There are cultural differences, and it took time to adapt. I didn't get a scholarship because my university is free.
Likes (Safety): Germany is, in itself, a safe country. There are emergency helpline numbers for various concerns, such as well-lit street lights and an emergency department at the university. If we have any safety, mental, or health concerns, we can easily go to them. Police patrol the street, and I haven't encountered any accidents yet. Most of the people I've met here are kind and helpful to outsiders. In every city, there's an Indian association, just like in Dresden when I first arrived. I was a new student, and a study buddy was assigned to me. He literally helped me with everything, from accommodation to my university boarding.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are various types of restaurants around, including Indian, Turkish, Italian, and various fast-food options. The price range is from 5 to 15 euros per meal, depending on the type of restaurant. I prefer cooking for myself because it is more affordable and healthier than eating out.
