A well-rounded academic and cultural experience with a vibrant student life in Berlin.
Tips: I joined the programme with a DAAD fellowship. We had meetups every 6 months where I met other students with the same scholarships from different South East Asian countries which was a great way to connect. Berlin has a large Indian community and I was actively involved in the cultural events and sports. I was also initially living with German flatmates which involved some cultural adjustments but over time I adapted comfortably.
Likes (Indian Food): Due to the wide variety and high number of restaurants in Berlin, there is more competition. Therefore, the prices are reasonable and affordable to students compared to smaller towns and cities where the availability of Indian restaurants is not much. On average, you can find at least one Indian restaurant every 1-2 km in Berlin. I generally prefer cooking at home but I occasionally eat outside too. University cafeterias are also a convenient and affordable option for regular meals.
Dislikes (Safety): Berlin is a large metropolitan city with a very diverse population, including many immigrants and homeless people. Therefore, there are occasional safety concerns, like theft. For eg, bicycle theft is quite common in Berlin. Students are therefore asked to use strong blocks and be cautious. Apart from campus security, the university provides controller access to certain buildings, student ID validation, and CCTV in common areas; however, there have been some incidents where unauthorized people have disguised themselves and entered the building. In some cases, the laptops and personal belongings have been stolen during lunch break when the rooms were attended.
