A peaceful campus in small town - Great for focused students.
Tips: The transition to Germany and HFU was quite smooth for me overall. The people here are welcoming, and the campus environment is calm and focused. The life here is much more independent—you manage everything on your own, groceries, paperwork, etc. I did not avail myself of any scholarship. So be prepared to manage your expenses on your own, and do that wisely. The university and course are okay for me. The course is structured, and international exposure is valuable. But this is a small town, so if you enjoy the big-city life, that might take some adjustment. Overall it is a good stepping stone if you are clear about your goals.
Likes (Safety): As for me, I have not faced any bad experiences here regarding safety. Germany is known for its strict safety standards, and as a girl, I feel very safe here, even at nights. So if you want a late-night break or late-night library study session, you can definitely have them without any hesitations.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Living up here in Furtwangen is a massive adjustment because the town is honestly tiny. If you're craving proper food from back home, you can completely forget about finding it anywhere nearby—you literally have to make a whole trip out to bigger cities like Freiburg or Stuttgart just to hit up a decent international grocery store. Because of that, pretty much everyone on campus defaults to cooking their own meals, which is honestly a lifesaver for your budget anyway. You can grab all your basic, everyday ingredients from the local supermarkets in town but for anything specialized, you just learn to get creative or wait until your next city trip.

One amazing journey that ever happened in my life.
Tips: Umm, I’d say yes, there are few cultural differences. But you’ll get adjusted to it. No scholarship. Very much satisfied with the course, university, lectures, and professors. Students across this university are also friendly. I’m happy and would give it 5/5.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Changes are good and nice, as long as you satisfy the requirements. I’m not sure if I’ll obtain the PR or not. Too soon to comment on that. Again, how fast you get your PR or any other status depends on that local city foreign office. Overall, the process is slow but good.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Well, the city is quite small, around 12k people. The city just has buses to travel around. There are no trains and S/U-bahns. However, the buses are frequent and punctual. Affordable - when you buy the Deutschland ticket. No trains after 11 PM at night.

Totally study oriented, good teachers with very good course curriculum.
Tips: Tuition fees are 1665; there is not much part-time work without the German language. Public transportation is not good; it's a very rural area inside the Black Forest but very beautiful. The language barrier is very intense here. There are no scholarships I got. I love this university; I just hate the Ausländerbehörde in this area.
Likes (Safety): It's totally safe to go around even at night. No specific facilities I have seen, but also I didn't see any incident that I can say was unsafe. The total area is full of students, so mostly you will meet students and very few local people. People are friendly with international students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I like to cook myself because there is no Indian food shop nearby. The nearest Indian restaurants are in Villingen and Freiburg. Nearby most restaurants are German and Turkish kebab shops. Also, 2/3 of Vietnamese restaurants cost 10-20 euro for a basic meal.

Parties, fest and job fair.
Tips: They should know their motive first and choose the course that is in their best interest. There are scholarship options available. I am satisfied with the course as it MET my objective. Most of the students are from other countries, so it's good to get some international exposure. The teaching and professors are high class with great knowledge. So it would be the best experience for anyone if they chose their course rightly.
Likes (Value for money): The course is totally worth the money since it has good value and content. Back in India we won't get this at this price. Since this university is affiliated with SAP, you will get to play along in the SAP software and learn from the firsthand experience from the very people who were working with SAP.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no nearby groceries or Indian restaurants available. The nearest one is 1.5 hrs from Furtwangen. The Indian restaurants are highly priced here. It can take up to a minimum of 30 to 35 euro for one-time meals; again, it depends on the restaurant you go to. I eat outside once a week or month, as cooking is the more sustainable option for any student.

Nice university with best faculty.
Tips: Learn the German language it's very important. No part time if we don't know the basics. The university faculty members are nice and friendly. But the academics are stressful with a lot of assignments and tasks. Hardly a few subjects have a written exam but they are tough as the university expects a different style of answering and no spoon feeding is done. Just a PPT and you need to figure out your academics. There will be presentations done by students, which are also part of your exam syllabus so you need to catch up on that as well.
Likes (Safety): Even at 12 in the night, it's safe to walk. People party till 3 am in the morning and reach their accommodation safely. The citizens here respect each other. There is no need for security in the university as well as the citizens are well behaved and mind their own business.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have still not graduated, so no idea. But few of my seniors are struggling to get post study job due to a language barrier and the job market. It's difficult to get into any kind of job and after you apply to 1000 applications only you will only be landing one.

stay in a small village, practice german and studies .The courses are well made
Tips: It could be a little difficult to come here for the first time, but you can always contact any and all students already studying here or me if I am still here, and I could help in any way possible. Scholarships do exist from DAAD, so they need to be applied for. I am happy with my course. Some teaching methods were different from what was in India, but I liked the labs and am satisfied with the course.
Likes (Public transportation): The connections are good. You have a bus every hour. You can buy a student ticket for 45 euros and travel everywhere with the public transport. Buses come until 12, which is good if you are working somewhere close by, as you can easily travel back after your shift.
Dislikes (Internships): This course does not have a compulsory internship, so you have to do it voluntarily. You do have a job fair every sem, and many require German, so learning German and coming would be a good choice. Any other position will also be put up on the wall, from which it can be applied.
