A lifetime experience for foreign aspirants.
Tips: Germany has the most helpful but reserved people. One must learn small words in German; they see your little efforts and switch to conversations quickly in English. Health, travel, friendships and concerns regarding everything else are fully resolved when you are responsible and you will definitely be helped by the university, community groups and friends.
Likes (Student Life): The college ambience is spread across the whole town with up to 60 buildings, the cafe, library etc are beautiful and events are conducted every week to engage students. There are also well knit community college groups that help us out with any problems and friends are easy to make.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are a lot of HIWI or student jobs available at university for students. Learning a little German will boost opportunities for students especially if they are looking for off campus opportunities. It is very manageable to do part time jobs as there are no issues with attendance and concepts are very understandable from the study materials provided by the professors. Average payout is 15-20 euros per hour and could extend up to 35 euros per hour.

Friendly and diverse campus.
Tips: There are lot of clubs available to join and upskill either technical or non-technical. The university provided many opportunities for cross culture activities. Germans follow their timetable strictly. So adopting and being before or in advance of the mentioned time will be the quality we have to develop.

Great experiences and facilities.
Tips: Not much of a cultural shift. But the teaching style is a bit different. It's better since it is independent and has a lot of interactive methods, PPT /case studies/ project works. I didn't get any scholarships. I don't have much information about that. I am more than satisfied with my university's facilities, support and teaching methods. The location is also quite okay.

OVGU is a research-oriented college.
Tips: OVGU is a research-oriented college. Professors will assume that master's students have a basic understanding of the topic, as if they studied it in their bachelor's degree. Therefore, you need to do a lot of self-study, assignments, and research work. Besides that, student life is fun and vibrant. We have different activities for different events.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport across Germany is really nice. As students, we get a Deutschland semester ticket, which includes free transportation within the city. For travelling outside the city, we can use the Regional Bahn and Regional Express for free. This helps students travel easily.
Dislikes (Part time work): Currently, the part-time situation in Magdeburg is not that great, and students are finding it difficult to get a part-time job. A major challenge that a student is facing here is the language barrier, and most companies are not hiring students as they need full-time people and not part-time.

Otto Von Guericke Universität is a technical university and more research-focused.
Tips: OVGU is a technical university, which means the studies here are designed to be more research-focused. If you are looking to do a Ph.D., then the university curriculum is pretty good, but if you just want a Master's degree and then want a professional career, go for a Hochschule instead.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The university faculty as a whole is quite good, the professors and the staff are really helpful and approachable, also they emphasise more on hands-on training rather than taking a theoretical approach. OVGU maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio, which helps in easy and direct interactions.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few Indian restaurants, but even those are catered more towards the German taste palette, so being Indian, you might not like the taste as much. Also, if you're a vegetarian, your outside food choices are limited, and most of the time, you'll have to cook your own meals.
