College was good and fun.
Tips: I transitioned a lot. I changed my week of studying and a lot of cultural shifts. I did not avail in his scholarship and I am satisfied with the university, course and country though the course curriculum could be a little better but it's fine.
Likes (Indian Food): They had an Indian week in the canteen and Indian food was much wanted by everyone and even if not an Indian week they had enough options for food which were budget friendly and healthy. The food was tasty and many canteens were there.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market wasn't supported at all in teaching industry-required skills. They said skills change every five years, so it's up to you. There were no placements from the university, either part-time or full-time.

The university is very big and professors are very kind and helpful.
Tips: It is not necessary that you settle here. There are multiple factors. You need to have a good job and have good knowledge of German too. You need to find a job by yourself and the university will not help in this case so you need to be independent.
Likes (Indian Food): There are lots of options to eat but in the veg section. You will find something that has an Indian taste. But all the foods that I have tasted were very good. They are also cheap for students so you can buy them at a less price. But in the supermarket, you find multiple options and also there are lots of Indian markets.

Very academic oriented, but not so happening socially.
Tips: The quality of education is very good. You get maximum depth in any subject you choose to study. Professors and tutors are helpful and friendly, as per my experience. Assignments are not so easy, but really helps to enhance our knowledge. Totally, a simple and easy going university.

FAU is a research-heavy and interdisciplinary university.
Tips: FAU is a research-heavy and interdisciplinary university, apt for those who are self-motivated and want to deep drive into niche areas of Science and engineering. The structure is more flexible than rigid, so students need to be independent learners. Also Erlangen is not a big city, so be prepared for a quieter student life, especially if you're used to the buzz of metro. That being said, Nuremberg is just 20 minutes away. I did receive two scholarships, DAAD PROMOS and the FAU Graduation Scholarship for short-term academic mobility (for my thesis). I applied through the university portals. Both were one time payment scholarships. The freedom to choose modules switch focus areas and be part of research projects has made a huge difference. The pros are approachable, and there's plenty of support for career development. Materials Science and Engineering at FAU offers both depth and flexibility. I have worked on everything from corrosion to electrocatalysis and even dipped my toes in ML for energy materials. Germany isn't perfect, but it has given me academic freedom, affordability and a sense of self I wouldn't trade for anything.

Decent college. But going for TUs is advisable. Also should come with some professional experience.
Tips: The course lets you specialize in the field of your choice. It's very flexible. Machine Learning is very popular at FAU. Also they are good at Robotics. If these are your areas of interest, joining the course would be recommended. These topics have lots of research and work opportunities within the university.
Likes (Indian Food): There are really good Indian restaurants available, and also Indian stores are there. The pricing is decent. A meal will cost you between 15 to 20 euros per person. I prefer cooking at home, like most of the students. All the groceries that you need are available at the supermarket or Indian stores.
Dislikes (Internships): It is really competitive and not so many internships are available as there are many students. There are a few big companies in the area, but they prefer students with work experience. Also German Language is highly desired by recruiters. Not much guidance is available. They are relevant to the course.
