My 4.6-Year Life at TU Ilmenau.

Tips: German language basics greatly help. Self-time management is very important. Getting and processing information in an orderly and active way is most important. Although there are various international organizations to help students, one should always take the initiative to get self-info.

Likes (Value for money): TU Ilmenau is a public university that offers studies almost free of charge. There is only a small amount of semester contribution needed, which also gives almost as much return as public transport, library usage, and various study-related software usage. Again, the city also provides cheap living costs, compared to big cities.

Dislikes (Part time work): Ilmenau is a small city. It is also a university city, where a large part of the population is students. So, it is hard to get a part-time job. Students need to go to nearby cities to get a job. There are options such as labor works, but they affect study a lot.

Great , Quite to learn grow and build your career

Tips: Students should be prepared for a peaceful and nonchaotic environment. Ilmenau is a very small town and full of greenery. But you get almost everything here in this small town. TU Ilmenau is very research-oriented. The international community are very active, and they have multiple clubs and organizations.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): After graduation from a German university, the pathway is clear for international students who want to live here. You will get up to 18 months on a job seeker visa, and then after landing a job and crossing a certain threshold in salary, you are eligible for a blue card, and then you can apply for PR after a few months.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I rated it 4/5 because I believe Germany has very good opportunities for international students, and yes, language plays a very important factor. Learning German makes things easy. Many people get full-time jobs after graduation, but effort is needed in every field, as the market is very competitive.

Nice small town university

Tips: It's a small university town. A lot fewer people than the big city university has. It is good; courses are challenging compared to India's, and you have to work hard. Tuition fees are lower, and you have the Deutschland ticket, so you can travel in public transport for free in all of Germany. Plus, small towns have less expensive accommodation; it is cheap, with lots of Indian students and diverse students. Lots of activities to do. Culture is really good.

Dislikes (Part time work): It's a very small town, so part-time jobs are fewer. Plus, you need basic German language knowledge to get a part-time job. You can also travel 1 hour to the nearby city of Erfurt for a part-time job; there you also need basic German language knowledge. And traveling is hectic.

TU Ilmenau - Affordable and with a Major Desi Community.

Tips: Transition is easy, as there is a major sub-continent's 'desi' community at the college. You won't face a major cultural shift and would find a nearby Indian shop carrying most spices and Indian stuff as well. As for scholarships, the college offers a 500u20ac semester grant. Since there is no education fee, that grant covers a student's major expenses. The university is nice, and the course is really tough, so be prepared to fail and to work hard to succeed. You can study at your own pace, whatever subjects you like, but be sure to target at least 20 credits a semester. Getting stuck into work or part-time could easily lead to failing the course and losing your student visa unless you find another course/university to join. I personally covered most of my major coursework before looking and starting at my current Werkstudent position. Overall, college is nice, really affordable and a course that does help a lot. But be prepared to look for work, and the time it would take to get a job in the current economy. One major, and very important thing, please learn the German Language to at least conversational B2 before coming to Germany. You can manage in English, but you will need German to actually be able to live.

Likes (Safety): Quite a small town, and extremely safe. You'll be able to move around places, and people are more than welcoming, as most know that it's a major University area. You might face issues with the language barrier if you don't know at least B2 conversational German. So try to ensure you have that at least.

Dislikes (Student Life): Decent college life, but college is in a small town, rather, it's a college town with nearly half the population being students. There are no movie theatres, malls, clubs or any places for recreational activities. You'll most likely be travelling to other places for fun. Outdoor stuff would be fine, like hiking, but college events are not something to write home about. Only the college fest in June is the best part of the year.
