Build connections, set boundaries, and maintain a balance in your work.
Tips: Be friendly and communicate well. Build connections, set boundaries, and maintain a balance in your work. Recognise your accomplishments and work honestly, without trying to please everyone. I've grown significantly here, both personally and professionally, and feel stronger now. I didn't receive a scholarship and funded myself through part-time work.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is well-connected from student dorms and the university on weekdays from 7 am to 10 pm in Freising. The Munich campus has better connectivity. In Freising, the main modes of transport are buses, while in Munich, it's Regional trains or S Bahn. Munich also has good U Bahn and tram connectivity. Public transport is affordable, but it often experiences delays.
Dislikes (Part time work): The number of campus jobs is limited, making it somewhat challenging, especially initially. However, it improves over time as you learn the best approach. Besides off-campus jobs, such as odd jobs, most require German language skills; if you have an A2 level, many opportunities exist. The average pay for part-time work is around 15-16 euros/hour for on-campus positions and 12.50-15 euros/hour for odd jobs.

Punctuality is highly valued. Securing jobs and internships can be difficult.
Tips: Winters can be challenging, consider supplements, socialise, and get outside. Summers are wonderful; make the most of them. Be dedicated and proactive, as you won't be spoon-fed. Learn the local language – it's incredibly helpful. Learn to cook. Don't be afraid to connect with people; friends are invaluable. Maintain good hygiene and be tidy; there are no excuses for messiness. Punctuality is highly valued. While securing jobs and internships can be difficult, it's not impossible. Respect the new culture and integrate well – avoid littering, excessive talking, rudeness, and discrimination. The studies are not difficult, but you need to determine what to focus on. Participate in as many projects as possible and genuinely care about your work, and pursue hobbies.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation network is huge, well-connected, and regular. Trains run late sometimes, but buses are very frequent, except on Sundays, and you can reach most places. Touristy routes tend to be very crowded, especially on weekends. Get a bike and use it; it's the best commuting option.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian Food in general is not the most delicious, especially the affordable options. You need to go for expensive options. Indian grocery stores are also quite expensive, but worth it for some items. Other cuisines are cheaper but not always tasty. Try to cook at home and eat out 2-3 times a month.

TU Munich is one of the most research-focused organisation in Europe.
Tips: The workload can be intense, especially for international students who may be relocating. Adjusting to different teaching methods, exam formats, and implementing effective time management strategies are essential, as completing exams on time can be challenging.

TUM is very student-friendly and welcoming.
Tips: There are some significant cultural shocks as German culture is quite different from Indian culture. You'll need to be open to new ideas. I didn't get any scholarship as there was no tuition fee when I studied. University, and course were good. The country's bureaucracy could be better. But alas, no one wants to pay for it.
Likes (Student Life): Go to the lectures, and listen carefully. It’s also good to work with a diverse group of students. There are parties, festivals, and job fairs, and I would recommend trying to participate in as many of these as you can. You’ll find that there’s a student club for almost every activity, and if there isn’t one for something you’re interested in, you can even form your own, and the university will support you as long as it is a reasonable undertaking.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of permanent immigration are high, but the process is long, irritating, and complicated. You'll need to learn the language, and the waiting times to even process the application are in months or years sometimes. I'd like to immigrate, but the only thing holding me back is that I can't bring my parents in the long term.

Entrepreneurial university with great facilities.
Tips: The university is very good in terms of ranking and recognition. The course contents are updated and correspond to current real-world examples. Some courses are at a different campus, which might require proper time management. Also, various classes can happen at the same time. Internships are slightly difficult in the current market. Moreover, knowing German would be a significant advantage. There's no specific guidance from the university, we have to try for it on our own. If some professors found something within their circle, they would post it.
Likes (Public transportation): Most of the locations within city limits are well connected. There are three campuses within Munich and on the edge of the city. They are well-connected in peak hours, but, some areas on the outskirts will have less frequent transportation after 9 p.m. But the limits are good and well-connected.

Education system is way more application and industrial oriented.
Tips: Getting to know lots of people from India and other countries makes me feel connected. There isn't a big culture shift, as the people are friendly and you can greet strangers. However, knowing the language will help, especially for buying groceries and completing daily chores. The university offers a lot of really good internships that range from 5 to 15 credit hours. But they tend to get snapped up fast, so you need to keep your eye out and apply the moment you see an opening. The faculty are approachable and easy to communicate with, which is really nice when you need help getting ready for an interview. I also really like the faculty, and I appreciate how friendly and approachable they are. I find them easy to contact and get advice from.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time work is not easy to get, especially for students who don't know German. It's around 5 hours of work for 3 days per week, which is hard to manage with studies. But in Germany, classes happen only 2-3 days. In such cases, scheduling the work properly helps. Basic payout is 12.5 euros per hr depending on the job. If you know German, then the job will be quite easy to do.
