Great campus and very amicable staffs and professors.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that knowing German up to the B1 level will be an advantage. Scholarships are available for women, and students get a lot of things at a discounted rate, including insurance and travel. I personally like Germany and its work culture, and everything here is a piece of cake if you know German. However, the top preference will be for German-speaking people with at least B1 level German.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors provide excellent guidance and use well-equipped teaching strategies. They are very understanding and very liberal. They are very involved in the students' calibre and are great mentors. They have a really cool structured program for a better understanding. So far, I have no complaints.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are a bit too expensive, especially for students who are working part-time and trying to manage their expenses. Turkish takeaway is a better option for students, or you can eat at franchises like McDonald's. Learning to cook for yourself is the best option.

Top university of Germany
Tips: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is one of the most famous and renowned institutions in Germany. It is also in the ranking of top 4 universities in Germany and secures the best ranking in the subject of Computer Science. Being a top university a student is expected to spend a major part of their time studying and doing worksheets on a regular basis. Things can get a bit hectic sometimes, but in the end, you will be given recognition for passing out from this prestigious institution.

Helpful information about Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
Tips: The tuition fees for all the international students in all the universities in Baden-Württemberg state of Germany is 1500 Euros at least. Knowing German language would be extremely helpful to connect with other students, but living in Karlsruhe without knowing German is also possible. Everyone at the Bürgerbüro can speak English and a lot of shopkeepers do it too.
Likes (Post study jobs): KIT has a very good reputation among everyone and the employers in Germany. Mechanical Engineering and Informatics are two of the most popular programs here and after successfully getting the degree, getting a job at a company like Mercedes Benz or Siemens is relatively easy.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The free public transport zone included for students here is not as big compared to other cities in Germany, and public transport is only accessible for free from 6pm-6am every weekend. It is available for free on every holiday. But the quality of transport is very good. A network of bus and trains is provided for a pretty good range of travel, even upto a French city called Lauterbourg.
