What I Wish I Knew Before
Tips: I'm happy with my course in general and believe that the professors are wonderful. Nevertheless, the university and its facilities could be way better, taking into account the fact that tuition is quite expensive. One of the problems that I have is the absence of opportunities to communicate with other students apart from classes. If you live off-campus, you cannot consider yourself to be part of the university community because there are almost no opportunities to meet other people. A loneliness epidemic exists for many students. In general, I don't think that education and the university experience justify the high cost. If we compare our university to the public universities in Germany, the level of value for money is rather low. Public universities usually provide much more experience in the form of facilities, extracurricular activities, and chances to socialize while costing much less. As for me, I wouldn't advise someone to choose private universities in Germany before comparing other options. Inexpensive and potentially rewarding universities exist in the form of public universities, which can provide an excellent education and a great university experience at a fraction of the cost. Even though I have said many bad things about IU, Germany will always be in my heart. The system has its downsides, but I will forever be grateful that I got to experience life in this country.
Likes (Safety): Professors are always willing to help if misbehaviour occurs on campus. There have been students who have faced expulsion due to their misbehaviour with women, it is taken very seriously. I have faced some racism here and there, one time, during a night out where many bad words were exchanged between a German lady and my friends, who are German, but were standing up for me. I have also faced racism while applying for jobs, with the excuse that "the company doesn't hire foreigners." Other than these two experiences, it has been pleasant, but it is easier if you speak the language, you would be welcomed more. Two experiences in three years is not a bad ratio.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are currently no on-campus opportunities because the university is moving to Cologne from Bad Honnef, however, managing part-time work along with academics is very doable because classes occur only 3 times a week, and they could be divided into three different days in a week or two. My pay for a part-time job was anywhere between 500 euros and 1100 euros, depending on the hours I put in a month.

Suggestions for Improvement in practical Education & Classroom Diversity
Tips: Before joining, students should know that English-taught programs often have a large South Asian student community. I also think students should carefully consider the tuition fees. For a private university, I found the tuition fees reasonable, but if you have the opportunity to study at a good public university in Germany, it may be worth considering because tuition fees are generally much lower or even absent. I would rate my university experience around 3 out of 5. I think there is room for improvement in the quality of education and practical learning. At the same time, having students from different cultural backgrounds is also an important part of education because you learn different perspectives from each other. I have changed a lot since I first came to Germany. In the beginning, the culture, education system, working environment, and everyday life were all new to me. Over time, I became more independent, confident, and adaptable. One important thing I learned is that university can provide theoretical knowledge, but personal and professional development also depends on your own effort. You have to take responsibility for your growth and continuously improve yourself. I did not receive any scholarship. I also did not actively look into scholarship opportunities at that time, so I cannot comment on the allowance or application process. Overall, I would rate my university experience 3 out of 5. The course gave me a good theoretical foundation, but I believe there is room for improvement in practical education. One thing I will always remember positively is advice from a faculty member on my first day. I was worried about how I would manage in Germany and build my career. He told me, u201cYou will achieve everything, but it is step by step. You have to climb the steps before reaching your destination. u201d I still remember and follow this advice. Germany has helped me become much more independent and confident. Looking back, I can SEE how much I have grown si
Likes (Safety): Honestly, compared to other cities, I feel Berlin is much safer, and it's actually very good to get different types of cuisine, and definitely there are a lot of food options for Indian food lovers. And the transport is also good, it has great connections you can travel all over Berlin with your student ticket. And for the food options, your university also provides you with the Mensa student food card, where you can get very cheap and amazing food options.
Dislikes (Value for money): I would say the tuition feels are justified. However, the tuition feels is lesser than any other private university, there aren't many, and it can be better if they focused a little to provide practical knowledge. The most important part of this university is that you will mostly find south Asian community.

Visa situation after the university
Tips: Most of the things they have to do on their own, and the university does not confirm the visa situation for the future because many students have experienced visa refusal even after completing the degree at this university. The situation was quite depressing when students had to leave Germany mid-degree.
Likes (Public transportation): Berlin has quite good transportation facilities. Trams and the U-Bahn rarely go on strike there. And the S-Bahn used to run regularly; it is quite easy to get to the university. Initially can be a bit confusing, but later you get familiar with where u have to get transfers and transport.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Initially, the staff was extremely experienced, but later they reduced the qualite, some of them were from Pakistan and India and were not able to pronounce some basic accounting terminology. And they used up a lot of the students' time.

My College was nice but my suggestion to any student would be to go for a Public University.
Tips: Studying here requires self-learning and Time management. Learning German is also very, very important. It was a big transition, but slowly, slowly everything becomes normal. Keep yourself positive. I did not get any scholarship, I came through UpGrad. Overall, I am happy. This college gave me international exposure. Finding a job is really challenging here, especially without German. But all this experience makes you more independent day by day.
Likes (Public transportation): I rated it 5 because the campus is well connected to the city. There are several transportation options available, including Bus, Tram, S-Bahn, and U-Bahn. For 63 euros, you can buy the Deutschland Ticket. For a whole month, you can travel throughout Germany and use any transportation.
