I like this college......
Tips: TU Dresden is a top-tier college. Before coming here, the only thing you need is to know the language at least at a conversational level. The language is not required in the college, but it is absolutely necessary to live in any place in Saxony to get a part-time job. Apart from that, the studies can be a bit stressful depending on what course you're getting into. So please research about the course and the modules they offer.
Likes (Indian Food): You'll get a couple of Indian store options where you can get fish, mutton, chicken, and everything that an Indian needs. Also, the Indian restaurant options are pretty wide, and there are few really good Indian restaurants in particular. Apart from that, there's a gurudwara in Dresden; it also has its own Indian store.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are very few student assistant positions in my department, and getting a part-time job is very challenging because of the language barrier. In Dresden, speaking German is mandatory. Apart from that, everything is pretty cool, but the engineering courses might offer a wide range of work-student positions.

Having studied for a couple of years in Dresden, I feel it's a good place to explore academically
Tips: Before coming to TU Dresden, you need to know that as one of Germany's top engineering universities, the academic standard here is no joke. TUD is a massive public research university, which means you get incredible access to high-end labs, research hubs around Dresden (like Fraunhofer and Max Planck institutes), and strong industry connections across Saxony's tech sector. But that reputation comes with a heavy workload—professors expect high independence, and nobody is going to hold your hand through the semester. On the life side, Dresden is one of the most affordable major student cities in Germany compared to places like Munich or Frankfurt, especially when it comes to rent in areas like Neustadt or Südvorstadt. The international student community is huge, but you still need basic German to handle day-to-day things like administrative paperwork or finding a student job. If you show up prepared to self-study, handle a tough exam schedule, and take initiative yourself, the career doors TUD opens are huge.

If you are looking for an easy full time entry level job market thats not here!!
Tips: I haven't transitioned much culturally. Not much cultural shift; I did not avail myself of any scholarship. Academically, the institute has taught a lot more about academia. I am satisfied with the university and course, be they their projects or topics. They are more inclined towards research, and professors are not friendly towards an industry thesis.
Likes (Public transportation): The tram and bus are all well connected to the university near the main station, so the S-Bahn connects even to the suburbs so quickly. Students get the Deutschland ticket, so it's basically included in your semester contribution, which is also being increased semester by semester but is still affordable.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Getting a visa after a job is very easy, but is getting a full-time job easy? There are very few entry-level openings in my field; they are only hiring people with 5 years of experience. They already have enough junior engineers they don't want any more. More than 40% of students who graduated from my master's study either end up going back to their countries or do a Ph.D., which they didn't plan.

Dresden: Student friendly city.
Tips: I personally did not feel any major cultural shock and got adjusted easily. Many scholarship options are available depending on the course of choice. Very satisfied with the university, the course, the city, and the country. Lots of opportunities.
Likes (Public transportation): Dresden is very well connected via public transportation. Buses, trams, and regional trains are the available modes of transportation. Very affordable, as the semester contribution covers the complete public transportation for the entire semester, so you don't need to pay anything else.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many different cuisines available. Many Indian restaurants with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are open throughout the city. I prefer cooking myself at home. There are also food delivery apps like Uber Eats and Wolt that do doorstep delivery.

Try it and give it a shot. May feel scary and difficult but it's a one in a lifetime opportunity.
Tips: Yes, cultural shock and, of course, the German language (Deutsch). You can learn it over here as well, and it's smooth. Yes, I am with DAAD Scholar, and I got it via recommendations, and it is about 1000€. Very satisfied with my university and the course and the region as well.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Restaurants are varied, from Asian, Western, and Middle Eastern foods to, of course, European food. I prefer cooking, as you can save lots of money, and you can eat outside, but it's not sustainable. Make friends and cook; plus, you can also try other food from different regions/countries when you cook together.
