A perfect blend of research, diversity and growth.
Tips: The university provides excellent research facilities and welcoming international environment. Having a senior from my previous master's college here helped me adjust smoothly. The transition was quite comfortable, though in Germany, there are cultural and language differences, but you will enjoy learning. I am a DAAD scholarship holder. It covers my living expenses, health insurance. I had to clear an interview to get this.
Likes (Student Life): I mostly spent my day till 6 pm in the chemical labs. But in between, I spend my day attending lectures. Lunch at mensa and discussion with friends. The campus hosts various events such as research talks, sports activities. I am currently enrolled in badminton and swimming. There are various cultural and sports groups. Particularly, we have a research cluster where 4 universities are doing collaborative research on solvation Science.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer to cook my own meals because it's healthier and much more affordable. But there are a lot of options available for vegetarian and non-vegetarian people to eat in mensa (a dining hall inside the university). Pricing ranges from 4-8 euros per meal. But there are some good Indian and Asian restaurants in and around Bochum.

This university is the right place for someone who really wants to learn.
Tips: This university is the right place for someone who really wants to learn. The professors are very friendly, and you can always approach them with doubts. Be ready to spend quality time studying and study every day; do not push it to the last day before exams. You should understand that only you are responsible for yourself and be proactive. I found my course very challenging, but in the end, it was totally worth the time, effort and money. I didn't avail any scholarships, but I know people who did. So it is possible to get scholarships. You need to make sure that you have good grades. One thing I would suggest to all students coming to Germany is to learn the language.
Likes (Indian Food): I would suggest all students cook for themselves as it is cheaper. I prefer cooking food myself. There are many Indian restaurants and you easily get Indian food. You also have many other restaurants here, Italian, Greek, Turkish etc. Eating outside is a bit expensive, but occasionally it's okay to eat out.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If you want to apply for permanent immigration, you have to study well, get a job in your field, and work for 3 years before you can apply. I would also advise you to learn the language. It is very helpful and can make the transition to life in Germany more comfortable. I think that immigrating here is a good idea.
