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.

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.

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.

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.

Very amazing faculty and student life.
Tips: Be prepared to be as active and involved as much as you can; these things make learning easier. There are no doubt cultural shifts, which are natural, but I guess one should take all of this in a positive aspect, and try to be as involved as possible to enjoy to the fullest. They have a BCGS scholarship programme, so you can apply for that.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): International student hub, diverse culture, social activities, events. It would be good to have some conversational knowledge of German beforehand to fully indulge in college life and events. A student gym, wellness activities are there and events in the Student dorms are also there.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Very friendly and adjusting faculty. Ready to help, separate office hours. Each course also has separate tutors, so students can easily clarify their doubts. A good experience, but students should remember that they put in their effort as much as possible.

Supportive faculty at the University of Bonn.
Tips: Know what you want to do in life, the career paths you are going to choose, what makes you happy and at the same time earns money for you. Learn German it opens many doors for you. Try to find a mini/part-time job so that you are not exhausting your block account. A degree should provide you with essential skills that should land you a job. Tailor your master's programme accordingly.
Likes (Public transportation): In Germany, the Deutschland Ticket allows affordable travel on most public transport nationwide. The University of Bonn provides this ticket upon enrollment. Note that it does not cover long distance trains like ICE or EC. For them, you have to provide additional costs.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): German is key for securing jobs outside academia, where full-time well-paid positions are standard. In academia, limited German is often acceptable if you're proficient in your field. However doctoral studies-the most sought-after academic positions are typically part-time (50-60%), unless exceptions apply.
