IU Online University Reviews & Ratings ,Berlin,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, ...

Tips: Before joining this university, I would recommend checking online reviews and the alumni of the university on LinkedIn.

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.

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.

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 conditi...

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 po...

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.
