The university is good but we are hardly provided with any internship.
Tips: Before joining this university, I would recommend checking online reviews and the alumni of the university on LinkedIn. It’s also important to talk to someone who is currently studying there to find out how they’re managing their studies and what problems they might be facing in their career path and at the university.
Likes (Public transportation): There is a U-Bahn underground train station close to the university and bus stops nearby, making it convenient to access the central train station. The campus is also walkable and accessible by bicycle.
Dislikes (Internships): The college is not helping its students find internships. If they were, then it would be easier for students to get jobs, and easier to advance on their career paths. They should form a network of alumni who have found jobs and can guide current students in the process.

There aren't many internship opportunities available on campus.
Tips: There hasn't been much of a cultural shift since I moved from India, mainly because IU is about 90% Indian students. That gives us a strong sense of being at home here. I didn't receive any scholarship, as None were available at the time. I'm very satisfied with the country—Germany—and the city, Berlin. As for IU, I'm somewhat satisfied, not completely, because in most public universities, you can get admission for free.
Likes (Post study jobs): In Germany, there is no concept of on-campus jobs, so everyone has to find jobs on their own, whether you are from the Technical University of Munich, BSBI, or IU. There are countless opportunities available, but the job roles you are eligible for and the salary packages generally depend on your qualifications, experience, and GPA. Plus, once you start working, you will be provided with a work visa. After five years or three, in the past, you could apply for permanent residence. The only condition is that you must be proficient in German at the C1 level or higher, which could be either C1 or C2.
Dislikes (Internships): At IU, there aren't many internship opportunities available on campus because the teachers aren't permanent and often change. As a result, there isn't a consistent teaching assistant or support staff in place. That's why most students look for work opportunities outside the university. If you're studying Computer Science, you'd search for internships related to your field, and the same goes for BBA and other programs. As I mentioned earlier, the internships can be relevant to your field, as long as you choose the right one.

Great college with good faculty, but expensive for commute and living.
Tips: For students whose first language is not German, fluency in English and some German at least B1 level is essential for everyday life in this country. The university has excellent professors. My course is B.Sc. in Computer Science, which is well-designed. Because it's a good university and it's chill, I don't have to worry too much about academics. The only thing I don't like is the taxes, which are too high. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Indian Food): There are several restaurants in the city, such as Brotsch, which are reasonably priced. However, I still prefer to cook my own food, especially since I go to the gym and track my calories. It's also cheaper than eating out every day.
Dislikes (Value for money): The education is too costly for a bachelor's. Even if you are going for a 100% online program, the cost is still the same. I found a figure for one of these programs and it was around 15 Lacs INR.

IUBH with an Indian mindset.
Tips: Most of the students at IU are Indian, so for me, there was not much of a transition. Because of the high Indian students, there are a lot of good Indian restaurants in the area. I did not avail any scholarship. I love it here, except for the harsh language, which I am not used to, but I believe I'll be fine. As the university is for three days a week, it is quite manageable to study and work. There are lots of cafes, restaurants, and places where you can work part-time to earn a living, with potential for 12-30 euros per hour. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): Not a lot of on-campus internships available, but there is a placement cell in the university for jobs and internships. However, the placement cell's prime focus is on jobs rather than internships. Various off-campus internships align with your field of study. I recommend doing your research to find them.

It is a good option for entry to Germany.
Tips: Before coming to Germany, make sure you have good language skills and financial backup. If you don't get a job, you'll need to survive after your blocked funds are used up. Due to the economic crisis, newly arrived students are experiencing cost-cutting measures that make survival difficult.
Likes (Safety): It's been 6 months in Berlin, and I've travelled here every hour, even at midnight, and there's nothing to worry about. On weekends, Berlin is more lively and vibrant, so no need to worry about safety. Here, on the street, you can find many beggars, but they won't harm you, and there's police available within a minute.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university campus has a high volume of English-speaking students, making it difficult for me to find a part-time job on campus. I was already finding it hard to find work anywhere in Berlin before coming here. I have to learn some skills in the job market of my field before I can come here. If I learn some German, I might have better luck.

An average university with basic infrastructure.
Tips: I moved to Berlin from India, and the transition was seamless. I adapted readily, but I did not secure any campus scholarships, primarily due to insufficient preliminary research. While I am satisfied with the basic infrastructure, I am dissatisfied with the support system. Communication is limited to email, which precludes in-person meetings. Throughout my time here, I have consistently felt safe and secure, thanks to the comprehensive and well-executed security protocols in place. The presence of security personnel is both reassuring and effective. The guards are always visible, approachable, and professional, which significantly contributes to a secure environment. Their regular patrols and quick response times to any incidents ensure that any potential threats are swiftly addressed. The campus is equipped with a robust surveillance system. The strategically placed cameras cover all critical areas, including entrances, exits, and common spaces. This not only acts as a deterrent to any malicious activities but also provides a reliable means of monitoring and reviewing any incidents that may occur.
Dislikes (Internships): Until now, I have not received any internship offers from the college, which has been a significant disappointment. The lack of support and guidance regarding job and internship opportunities is evident. Despite numerous inquiries, the response from the college staff has been consistently unhelpful and vague. It seems there is no structured system to assist students in securing internships or jobs, which is a critical aspect of our education and future careers. The career services department appears to be effective and disorganized. No workshops, seminars, or information sessions to help students prepare for the job market. The absence of networking events or connections with industry professionals further exacerbates the issue. When we sought advice or information, the staff either did not have the answers or provided outdated and irrelevant information.

The university is only focusing on making money rather than supporting students.
Tips: 95% of the students are from India, so it always feels like home, the university only gives benefits to going to Germany. The professors are not permanent and come on an hourly basis, so they don't have any idea about anything. There was a lack of internship opportunities on campus. Internships are crucial for gaining practical experience, and colleges should collaborate with companies to enhance student's skills and career prospects. Overall, I am not satisfied with my experiences here.
Likes (Indian Food): There are a lot of Indian restaurants and stores in the area, and you can find food from every state in India. The food is a bit expensive, but you can afford to eat out at least once a month. You can also order Indian groceries and food online.

The curriculum meets the market standards.
Tips: You are not asked to come to college every day so you can utilise the time for a part-time job. The college is mostly a mall-like structure, exams would be conducted online even if you are in Germany. I completed my 3 exams from the first semester. It was quite easy I didn't spend more than 5 hours per subject. However, the opportunities are limited for part-time so it might take a while for you to find one.

Everything is perfect. The university is located at a prime location.
Tips: Before joining this college, students must learn German, which is essential for networking. The professors are very friendly and are always willing to help. They are very good at solving problems on campus and online. I was in an accident on campus and they were very helpful in getting me the help I needed.
Likes (Part time work): Everything at IU International University of Applied Sciences is excellent, and I've seen excellent service. The only drawback for international students is that they must learn German because some people face problems after graduation.

IU isn’t worth paying so high tuition fees so choose your university/college wisely.
Tips: The tuition fees at IU are very high, and students need to work off their assets to pay for them. This leaves little time to concentrate on studies. In addition, the university faculty doesn't provide any support in finding internships, which makes things even harder. Even after completing your degree, you will face problems in getting a full-time job.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Hamburg is excellent. The city is well connected, and having an amazing transportation system adds to its appeal. Buses and trains are usually on time and well maintained. Most railway stations have washrooms, which is a nice convenience.
