Average private university.
Tips: About the reputation of the university, its course curriculum and how much faculty support students to find jobs. They offer scholarships at the start if you are taking admission directly without any third parties. I would prefer to go to a public university instead of a private one.
Likes (Public transportation): My university offers a student ticket on which I can use all public transportation for free. There are U-bahn S-bahn and trams in the whole Berlin. You can use anything with a student ticket that which university provides you at cheap prices. Sometimes in winter you will face some issues but not for a long time.
Dislikes (Value for money): As part of a private university, the tuition I am paying isn't worth. All private universities only care about money but after that, you have to face many issues like support from faculty regarding your course problems or anything. The university has one major issue is every process is online. You have to mail just to get in touch with the faculty.

Job market is tough currently.
Tips: Research is the biggest key to know about anything abroad. Just research well on how to deal with everything when you are abroad, as it might get tough at one point.
It would be brand new for an individual to adjust here with the cultural shifts.
About internships, work experience works here if you have one, you might land somewhere. Tough for a fresher like me to survive.
The university is not really up to the mark regarding everything, as it is facing an issue.
Likes (Safety): Berlin is safe, every city has its own downfalls in a few places, but at the end, it is safe to travel here regardless of any gender, boy or a girl, to travel during the day or at night.
It’s fine to travel at night if you're thinking, some places are unsafe in Berlin, but you could always move to a new place, so not to worry.
Dislikes (Internships): The situation currently in Germany is quite tough for the job market, as students and working professionals as well are finding it hard to land any internships or jobs, as most of the universities won’t spoon feed you on the internships or work to find out.

There are several public universities, try to get admission there.
Tips: Currently, my university student is facing lots of issues related to Visa immigration. And, I saw many students who got reactions from the visa extension. And after all this happened University couldn't help much. Students who paniced face trouble finding jobs. It was so stressful for the students. Berlin is a good place with well structured city as well as cheap transportation.
Dislikes (Value for money): Because I faced lots of issues related to university. The university is not very helpful. Without my concern, they deferred my admission. I tried my best to communicate with them, and I landed in Berlin. After that, they didn't even help me, even though I spent 3 months without papers and documents in Berlin.

Stressful, poor academics.
Tips: This is the worst possible university in Berlin. A lot of discrimination takes place here. Professors are not interested in teaching. You will learn nothing here. The acceptance rate is high as they are going bankrupt.
Likes (Public transportation): My student life was non existent as teachers were never ready to teach. The campus has 0 events. It is a host town. If you want an actual college experience, go somewhere else; you have been warned. IU is poor in every standard and does not even have a real campus.
Dislikes (Value for money): Faculty is the worst, unresponsive, no support. Teaching is monotonous and boring, and lecturers are often underqualified. The only diversity in students is Indians and Pakistanis, same goes for the faculty. Professors are often racist towards students.

Inexpensive university with public university benefits.
Tips: There is an early bird discount, not sure whether it's still available or not. Cultural shift was of course there but with STW and other student organisation, it gets easier to settle down. For scholarships, one can apply to DAAD, which provides a lot of scholarships, even Erasmus.
Likes (Public transportation): Even though trains are cancelled or delayed most of the times, but it is very convenient to travel across Berlin, especially as a student, you get discounted tickets with which you can travel all over Germany. Discounted tickets are 29 euros but students will get them only if they belong to a public university, and the university itself provides the ticket.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Currently in Germany, it is very difficult to find a job. There are openings but there is a big mismatch between supply and demand. It's mostly because of the language barrier. They expect immigrants to speak native level German even for jobs where English can work perfectly. Universities abroad don't provide placements like in India, there are job fairs where you can connect with companies and people. To find a job, it's all about networking.
