Growing, learning, and finding my place.
Tips: Students should know that the college is academically strong and the workload can get intense, so time management really matters. When I first came here, the transition was smooth but there was definitely a cultural shift. People are very independent, straightforward, and everyone minds their own space. It took me a bit to adjust but eventually I learned to handle things on my own and became more confident. I didn't get any scholarships personally, though the university does offer options depending on your profile. I'm quite satisfied with my university, my course, and the country. The environment feels safe, the teaching quality is good, and the course matches what I wanted for my career.
Dislikes (Part time work): The student life here is genuinely enjoyable and balanced. My days usually start with classes followed by group study sessions, small campus hangout or grabbing coffee with friends. What I enjoy the most is how lively yet peaceful the campus feels. The college regularly organizes cultural events, academic talks, sports days, and small community meetups. I don't attend everything, but I join the ones that interest me. There are also many student clubs, cultural clubs, research groups, sports teams international student communities so it's easy to find something you vibe with and feel included.

The Masters program experience at the University of Bonn was great.
Tips: Going abroad really made me more independent and I got better at work. The academics were awesome. Since it was a research-focused course with lots of options it helped me get the skills I needed in my field. The city and people were super welcoming and friendly.
Likes (Part time work): I have been working as a student assistant in one of the working groups at my University. As per my knowledge the minimum wage now is nearly 14 euros per hour, in institutes. It depends on the available vacancy and definitely the professor's impression of you, whether you manage to get it or not. The work was really flexible. I have no personal experience regarding off-campus part-time jobs. However, I have heard that knowing the language probably the A2 level is really important in fetching them.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The Indian restaurants are not as authentic as how they are in India. In addition, food is really costly with a minimum of 12 euros. You can find Korean, Pakistani and Arabic Restaurants too apart from German. I prefer cooking by myself. However if it is difficult due to the curriculum, I would opt for the University canteen which is amazing.

Inside MSc Astrophysics at Bonn.
Tips: There is an option to get scholarships under the BCGS framework but it is extremely competitive. The transition from an Indian system of education to the German one is significantly tougher than I had initially presumed. The course structure is awfully hard and the pace can sometimes overwhelm students. But it's an absolute goldmine for those who love this subject.
Likes (Student Life): A lot of student organizations regularly meet at different events and parties. They make sure you feel included. Lots of Beer, free pizzas and barbecue parties, board games, sports and politics are all very common here. You will never feel bored but you may feel overwhelmed.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food restaurants usually make Indian food in a 'western style'. Authentic Indian food is costly and rare. A solid community of Indian workers means that sometimes you could ask for 'Indian Style' food items and they may provide you with one that tastes just like back at home.

New beginnings and beautiful rewards.
Tips: It can be stressful at the start but that's all, since it's new and you'll have to adjust. You might notice a lot of new cultures, behaviour and ways of living but it's all worth the experience. With time everything settles and you'll start enjoying the beauty, calm and company you form along the way.
Likes (Safety): It's pretty safe no matter where you are in the city and on campus. Apart from regular campus security, there are well lit walkways, safe during the evening too, emergency contact points and a quick response safety team that's always available. Walking back home alone has always felt comfortable.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The public transportation here is very manageable but not exceptional. The campus is connected to the main parts of the city through buses and trams but the frequency can be inconsistent at certain times and mostly on the weekends. The system is safe delays could be expected at any time of the day.

Challenges, changes, and growth in Germany.
Tips: There will definitely be cultural shocks, including civic sense, food ethics, traffic rules, language barriers, night life, time management, independence, individualistic life choices, personal space and code of conduct. Rules to abide by, waste management. One has to be strong, confident, and ready to accept to lot of new changes in the structure of their life to be able to live a happy life in Germany. But there is a lot to learn and in the long run it gives a better shape to your personal as well as professional life. I didn't avail any scholarship. It required me to have a certain level of German proficiency. The level of my university is good, so it pushes me to put more effort. In that sense, I am happy with my experience.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of options available around which include both South and North Indian cuisines. There are many Indian stores from where you can buy Indian groceries and cook them at home. So you get both options of cooking at home as well as eating out.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post study job situation has plummeted after the economic recession hit Germany. I do not have any exact figure of how many companies sponsor visas and the salary packages vary a lot, city to city and company to company, according to your domain but overall the market has definitely tightened.

Excellent faculty and a diverse environment.
Tips: I have more freedom, less judgment and safety for women helped me experience more good things like travelling both locally & internationally. You have to do everything alone, and everything takes time due to bureaucracy, which teaches independence, patience, and perseverance. Loneliness does hit hard, especially during festivals and the winter season, but that is common and natural for international students to experience. There are many ways to deal with it. I have become more confident and sure of myself after coming here. It's a completely different country with different societal norms, people, and culture. So yes, I did experience a cultural shift. People here are colder as compared to Indians. They are more reserved. One cannot make friends with them easily, especially not without learning the language. No scholarship. Very satisfied with all three. It has its ups and downs but I am happy.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Accessible via email. You cannot call their personal number. They are approachable to a certain extent. We have a lot of practical exercises that complement the theory very nicely. The assignments and exams are very application-oriented. They make you think, even though a lot of questions are theory-heavy too. It's a good balance. Not diverse. All my professors are German. But the class is very diverse. Half the students are usually from India.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Most are restaurants serving food like pizza, done, and burgers. There are other Asian restaurants, like Vietnamese and Thai. Indian restaurants are also there. But they are not as frequent as the Western ones. I prefer cooking food myself. It saves money. I do meal prep, which saves time and energy.
