Research oriented friendly environment university
Tips: Goettingen is a very student-friendly city with students from all over the world studying many different fields of study, from law to STEM courses to economics and psychology. Mostly people speak English, and it's easy to transition here. I got DAAD scholarships for my thesis duration. I am very satisfied with the university, course, and country.
Likes (Safety): Goettingen is a safe place. I have not heard of any racism or security-related issues from any student in my 3-year master's journey. Also, as a president of the Indian association in Goettingen, I had very few to no cases where a major security issue came forward.
Dislikes (Internships): College doesn't have any platform to find internships; students have to manage it on their own, so sometimes it gets quite difficult also for new students when they have language barriers finding an internship on their own. I suggest you should start looking for an internship at least 6 months before.

Student-friendly with a calm atmosphere, Nature
Tips: Learn German and go deep into the courses you take here. Got Deutschlandstipendium, 300 euro / month, applied via university website—with excellent grades, volunteering experience, and community-oriented projects, you can get it, but only 5-10 of 195 Indian students got this in 2025. Well satisfied.
Likes (Safety): Germany is known for safety. The police team was very fast, and for emergency hospital issues, ambulances are very, very fast. Even if you close your bag, you can find it, but not your cycle. Germans are very harmless, I believe, and very pathetic.
Dislikes (Internships): Career advisors always help you and guide you on how to apply for jobs. No campus placements like India. Take courses that have compulsory internships; my course doesn't have one. Also, your internships are mostly full-time, I guess, so only during university breaks can you do them as per the rules.

University of Göttingen - Just where an ambitious student needs to be!
Tips: Yes, this city has affected me in so many ways. First of all, everyone loves rules here. No breaking laws, especially traffic rules and cleanliness Learning German is a necessity for entering the job market. Professors will guide you and help you a lot. Yes, there are scholarships available. I am quite satisfied.
Likes (Safety): Göttingen is a student city, so everyone here is friendly, kind, and understands English, for starters. There is a strict police department for any crimes The only problem is the commute during late hours, so one has to be prepared for that. It's advisable to not roam alone in the city after midnight.
Dislikes (Internships): I rated internships low because out here in Göttingen, your actual technical skills completely take a backseat to the German language. It’s the ultimate gatekeeper. Look, the university tries to help by putting on career fairs, running workshops, and offering career services, but honestly, all of that becomes pretty useless if you aren't fluent. When it comes down to actual hiring, companies only care if you can communicate with their clients in German. You could be an absolute genius at your subject, but the moment a role requires client interaction, you're locked out if you only speak English. It makes the job hunt incredibly frustrating because language skills end up mattering way more than your actual academic talent.

Studying Abroad: Learning, Growth, and Adaptation
Tips: If you're looking at Göttingen, the biggest reality check is that the academic system here is intensely research-driven and almost completely hands-off. You aren't going to have professors holding your hand through the coursework. If you don't have the self-discipline to manage your own time and stay on top of the reading, the intensive workload will bury you before finals even hit. The upside is that the program structure is incredibly flexible, so you actually have the freedom to steer the degree toward whatever specific niche you're interested in. Plus, living in a proper, historic student town like Göttingen is an amazing experience for international students. Germany as a whole offers a top-tier education system, and as long as you're willing to put in the work independently, the career opportunities down the line make the grind totally worth it.

Intense, research-oriented course.
Tips: For my course I'd say it's a pretty intense research oriented course. You cannot skip and skim through lectures and do last minute preparations. You have to prepare for exams like a junior researcher working in your lecturers lab, as the questions will be application-oriented in their specialized topics. It's one of the best college towns you can live in as a student. It's a small town and everybody knows everyone. Personally I love the walkability around the town and love the Deutschland ticket. When I feel like side-questing in life, Germany has wonderful, beautiful small villages that take me out of academic stress.
