IU Online University Reviews & Ratings ,Berlin,Germany

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.

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 a...

Tips: Germany is an immigrant-friendly country, so the rules for permanent residence are pretty lenient. The main thing is to have a stable job and a high proficiency in German.

The majority of the students are Indian at IU, so I did not face a lot of cultural shift. I also didn't get any scholarships. But I am very satisfied with Berlin and Germany on the whole, and IU offers exactly w...

Tips: Obviously, there is a cultural shift for you. You are moving here for two years, and you will definitely miss your home culture. But here in Germany, there are many Indians here which will fill that gap. There are very few on-campus job opportunities, such as student advisory or student representatives. This means there are very few chances to get one of these jobs. As for off-campus jobs, there are internships and jobs at Amazon warehouses. They are pretty manageable, and the average pay is abo...

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, s...
