Great University and City: Watchout the downtime for shops.
Tips: For me it was pretty simple in the transition as I have already lived before in Germany. However, the city is really quiet and shops gets close at 8pm dot. In Bavaria, things get close very early so that is something I hate. I have applied to few scholarships and I am expecting their replies currently. Overall good experience till today.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Student Life in Germany is great thanks to a better crowd than in NRW. Finding good friends is easy here, and the campus keeps you connected with plenty of clubs and communities to join. I have had a crazy experience till today, I would like to recommend my university to everyone!
Dislikes (Internships): That's because I was able to reach the Coordinator of the programme before getting admitted. She was very polite and sweet! She politely answered my questions and is still very easily available. The faculty is very international and has mixed nationalities.

My experience at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg
Tips: The city is student-friendly, but I would strongly emphasize learning German before you arrive. Would make the social life and job hunt much easier. Classes and academics should not be taken lightly, as the examinations tend to check the grasp of the subject thoroughly.

A good acedemic journey: High caliber Research Meets a Driven, Competitive Environment
Tips: Book accommodation a month or so in advance, because it can sometimes be difficult to find somewhere to stay in Erlangen/Nuremberg. Also, you must speak some German, at least at the B1 level, so you have some idea of what’s going on there, otherwise, you can get very confused by the constant babbling going on around you. You will need to be very self-disciplined because getting around on public transport requires some effort since shops are closed on Sundays. The courses, education, research, and job opportunities at the university are great, but the exams can be really challenging, and accommodation is expensive.
Likes (Safety): Erlangen consistently ranks among the safest cities in Germany. Violent crime is virtually nonexistent, and the general environment is calm, orderly, and academic. You can comfortably walk, run, or ride a bicycle through the city or on campus late at night without feeling unsafe.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Lack of Pure Vegetarian Options & Cross-Contamination Finding 100% vegetarian restaurants locally is quite difficult. Most general eateries, including local Du00f6ner shops, Italian places, and standard German restaurants, share kitchen equipment, oil fryers, and utensils between vegetarian and meat dishes.

A challenging but satisfying experience!
Tips: FAU as a university is great, especially if you are keen on research. There are lots of good research labs and facilities. The programme prepares you academically rather than practically. The exam period is quite stressful, but there is a lot of flexibility. The onus of finding internships, jobs, etc. Is entirely on you. The job market is getting more and more competitive, especially if you don't speak German!
Likes (Safety): Erlangen is very safe as a city, no complaints at all. I did not face any discrimination, although the caretaker of my building was rather rude. Overall, I never felt unsafe even when I was out late at night. There are support groups in the university if you require help.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The coursework is quite rigorous, sometimes a bit too much. The professors are top-notch, but the emphasis is on lecture-based learning rather than project-based. I found it a bit too theoretical. The exams are not easy, and mostly you depend on self-learning!

My Personal Indepth review of FAU Erlangen
Tips: Future international students need to know about future fee changes. Presently, all I need to do is pay my semester fee, however, FAU is introducing a new system of fee charging for non-EU international students. Along with this, they need to know about the wonderful student ticket provided by DB at a cost of just 43 euros that gives you free regional travel around Germany. My shifting to Germany to study M.Sc. in Autonomy Technologies has indeed been a major shift in my life. The biggest cultural shift I have seen has been in my habits of eating and traveling. As of now, I have not made use of any financial aid scheme. There are many ways of getting financial assistance at FAU including Deutschlandstipendium which provides you with 300 euros every month for a year.
Likes (Value for money): The cost of attending FAU is totally worth it. As an international Current student, my studies are totally tuition free. I only have to make payment of the regular semester contribution. One very important factor is the cheap student transport ticket which costs about 43 euros every month and gives you the opportunity to travel within Germany without any limits on the regional DB transports including some neighboring stations. As the FAU introduces a new fee structure for international non-EU students starting at 1500 euros up to 6000 euros per semester depending on the degree programme. This is still a great investment. Compare to three extremely high tuition fees in English-speaking countries such as USA UK and Australia.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a lot of eating places in Erlangen, particularly near the central area of the city. Nevertheless, foreign students might not have many places which serve genuine food of their native countries. Although one can get a quick bite starting from just 1 euro, the cost depends a lot on the type of food ordered. In any case, cooking in dormitories or at home will be the most sensible and inexpensive way for international students.

A great learning experience with excellent opportunities
Tips: We need to have an open mindset when coming to a new country, as the cultural shift is real. The way we approach things in India is quite different, and you will definitely learn a lot from adapting to a new culture and environment. I did not avail myself of any scholarship. FAU is a publicly funded university, so there was only a nominal semester fee of around 300 euros every 6 months (each semester). I am very satisfied with the course, university, and Germany as a country. It has been a very positive and enriching experience.
Likes (Internships): There are always openings for internships in the companies. You just need to be proactive to find those. Companies hire interns to get their work done cheaper, and for students it provides a great atmosphere to explore working in the corporate setup. Yes, there are a lot of vacancies and openings for internships. There can sometimes be paid internships as well.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I rated it 4 because I bagged 3 successful job roles upon completing the degree. Once you successfully clear an interview and have a work contact, the visa office provides you with a relevant work visa based on your salary. And as a student, you can stay in the country for 18 additional months to find jobs. Salary package range is between 52k and 62k for a fresher in the IT industry.
