Highly qualified faculty and a diverse learning environment.
Tips: The transition relied heavily on getting used to the German weather. Munich as a city can get extremely cold in the winter and a lot of bureaucratic as well as home maintenance work requires effort as well as at least a basic understanding of the German language. While the University itself is extremely diverse and while a large fraction of the staff at cafes, restaurants or grocery stores are able to communicate in English using German as a language to approach individuals (outside the University) can become a useful skill.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members that I worked and studied with are not only highly qualified but are also extremely accommodating and approachable with conceptual difficulties as well as bureaucratic needs. If they are unable to help you out, they refer you to the relevant authorities who would definitely help you out.

Finding my research identity in LMU.
Tips: There is one important thing that everyone should know especially about LMU and my course in particular. I came here thinking I would finish my degree in 2 years and transition to a PhD. But I am going to start my master's thesis at the end of my 2nd year. It is quite normal here to finish the degree at your own pace. That was a major culture shock for me, since in India, masters is considered a 2 year commitment. LMU offers a lot of scholarships to international students such as Deutschland Stipendium and LMU SIST Scholarships. I am very much satisfied with LMU and Munich in general.
Likes (Student Life): LMU has amazing student life. You could meet different kinds of people from different sets of society and are also exposed to a multitude of cultures. Over the past 2 years, I have only been on the college campus for a few months to attend mandatory courses, after which I designed my courses such that I don't have to go to campus regularly. I spent my remaining time exploring labs, working different types of part-time jobs and travelling.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): For the field of Biology post-study jobs majorly narrow down to PhD. And the pay for Ph.D. is enough to survive everywhere. If you are coming with the expectation of getting an indutsry based jobs, it might take a lot of effort and time.

Best student life and friendly people.
Tips: It was a life-changing transition for me. I became more independent and aware of myself. Most of the mundane things like grocery shopping, keeping your space clean, cooking, etc., may sound easy on paper, but this is where you get to know a lot of things about yourself. I also made good friends in my German class as well as where I used to work part-time. I enjoyed every bit of my time in Munich. LMU Munich has some of the best research facilities and the faculty here, in one way or another, have all worked with Nobel Laureates. The course has also been structured in such a way that it gives you a lot of freedom to choose your courses and internships. Germany as a country is great to live in, apart from all the paperwork you have to be ready for.
Likes (Student Life): The best thing about studying in Munich is the student life. You will never get bored. There are ample things to do. The best way to emerge with local and make friends is to enrol yourself in any sport/music/dance activity at the Olympia Park. You can enrol through your university and most of the prices are very nominal for students. Apart from this, you can enjoy the beer garden and travel to any part of the city through its amazing public transportation. There are also a lot of options to enrol in a language course through the university as well, where you can make friends within your class. The best thing is that your fee will be refunded if you pass the exam. In addition, my campus and the faculty of Biology always had fun events to organize, especially for freshers, like sightseeing, visits to museums, ice skating, and trekking in the Alps. During Christmas time, we also have a potluck dinner, bonfires, and lots of baking.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not any fixed number. Most of the MNCs offer sponsored work visas. Even start-ups actively look for international talent. Job roles and salary packages depend on the domain area. For IT and finance, you can expect to get paid more than in other avenues. The important thing to keep in mind when applying for jobs is that the role needs to align well with your background. In addition, knowledge of the German language is a critical criteria as well to land jobs.

A great university for bioscience and to get to know the world.
Tips: It is a great university, at least in the domain of biology. You will get enough opportunities to connect with various world-renowned faculty, meet great people at conferences, and talk. The lab atmosphere and the university curriculum are also wonderfully planned.
Likes (Internships): A regular day at LMU would be attending lectures, socializing at the mensa (canteen) and getting to know your cohort. If you are performing internships or mini-jobs, you can also beat the respective labs or institutions or companies where you are performing them. Events like seminars, workshops etc. are conducted by various faculty members and are happening almost every day on the campus. There are a lot of student clubs and communities as well, where you can freely join.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The faculty at LMU Munich is very approachable. Apart from being professors who take care of your lectures, they also turn into your guides if you do further internships with them in their labs. Professors mostly refer to relevant research and review articles and various textbooks while preparing the documents for the lecture. The faculty is not very diverse, at least in the case of Biology but they are very accommodating.

A world class institute and the cradle of growth.
Tips: Before joining the college, one should know they are going to be joining one of the most prestigious and top-ranked university. The studies will be hard, and your classmates will be among the best in the world. Be prepared to put in the work and possess a strong mathematical background.
Likes (Internships): As a European Student, you have a lot of opportunities to work on international projects and collaborations. The professors are open and willing to take on students if they have the time and funding. Plus, there are many Max Planck Institutes where you can go for internships.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The German language is compulsory for the Permanent Settlement. The waitlist is for 5 years (studies not included). There is a test for citizenship or PR for which you have to study enough. It is a slow time taking process that needs immense patience and paperwork.

Globally reputed, research oriented and great for growth and networking.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a self directed learning style. Professors expect indenpendence and critical thinking. Most Masters course are highly research oriented, so developing strong analytical and writing skills helps a lot. Also knowing a basic German can make daily life smoother.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Chances for PR are excellent in Germany. You need B1-B2 level German, a few required exams and around three years of work experience in the German Market. The process is straightforward and I would definitely consider setting here permanent. The table economy, strong work culture and high quality of like make German an ideal place to build a long term future.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is approachable and experienced, but their teaching style can be difficult to follow.
