Settling for a University and City Due to Career or Circumstances
Tips: Finding accommodation here is challenging, so be prepared. Apply to Studentenwerk dorms as soon as possible, as the average wait is 12 months. Private accommodation is also difficult and expensive, so plan accordingly. Bureaucracy is straightforward so don't worry about it but here are the steps I've outlined (note that these might not apply to everyone): - City registration - Bank account - SIM card - Activate insurance - Get a health insurance card - Social security number - Tax ID - Apply for a president permit and get your RP card (usually around the end of your visa period before arrival) - Credit card (optional) - Activate your blocked account I'm familiar with scholarships like DAAD, the Deutschlandstipendium and the Niedersachsen Stipendium. For more details, visit their official website. You can apply for the first two scholarships once you receive your admission from your home country. Other opportunities I'd like to mention are the Erasmus+ and global exchange programmes. In Erasmus, you get a chance for 1-2 exchange semesters at universities in the EU or outside. In global exchange, you can go anywhere outside the EU. If funds are available, you might also get a scholarship through Erasmus.
Likes (Student Life): I feel so lucky to be a student at this educational institution. Be it due to the low cost of tuition fees ranging between u20ac300 and u20ac1000 per semester or the free travel tickets provided here, there are a lot of benefits. Moreover, there are dorms where students can live at a reasonable price, provided that you apply early enough, otherwise, you would need to wait. Apart from good education, research facilities, and faculty staff, something is always going on at the university. For example, in Gu00f6ttingen, where more than 30,000 students are studying at the University of Gu00f6ttingen, UMG, as well as in various other private institutions, there are always some events organised by these universities and their students. It is always fun. The best place at the university for me as a student is the central library. This is where I always go to study or work. There are different libraries at the university.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): For me, it deserves three stars since obtaining a job visa, work permit or permanent residency is relatively easy in Germany compared to the US. This is relatively easy since one does not require sponsorship from the company, all it requires of you is that you have a job if you are a foreigner. Nevertheless, obtaining a job may be quite difficult. From my experience, you have to be extremely skilful or know very good German to secure yourself a good job. In that case, it will depend on your job and money, hence the difficulty for me.

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.

A rewarding international student experience in Göttingen.
Tips: This university is very well-known for its research oriented background thereby those students who want to pursue any STEM courses and pursue PhD specifically it's a great opportunity for them.
Secondly, the students must learn at least the B1 level of the German language before joining this university.
But overall this University is very student-friendly and there are a lot of opportunities to grow even as an international student. The cultural diversity and exclusiveness of this university make it the most preferred destination for Indian students especially.

Göttingen is a great university city.
Tips: Göttingen is known as a university city, so it's full of students which offers you many opportunities in many ways, in terms of making new international friends and joining different study clubs or organisations, etc. People from this city are not very conservative, and you can easily adapt to the culture and people over here. Due to the many universities, the number of students (youth) is more so it makes a big difference in making your cultural difference wide, as there are many international students and also students from different parts of Germany. Talking about scholarship, personally, I didn't receive any scholarship. But one can apply for Deutschland stipendium or Niedersachsen stipendium. I'm pretty much satisfied with this university in terms of academia, however I feel a lack of cultural events or inter department competitions. I'm loving the student life in Germany, as you can develop many skills, grow yourself more, deepen your knowledge in your area of interest, and at the same time can earn money by doing part time or mini jobs.
Likes (Quality of faculty): All faculty members in every department are very experienced and experts in their own field. They are very friendly and humble, always open to discussions and clarifying our doubts. Talking about particularly my field, we have lectures from experts in the field which make the whole module way more informative and give deep insights into that topic. Our teaching faculty members are from different nationalities, and I would say it's pretty much diverse.
Dislikes (Public transportation): As this city is relatively smaller than other cities, there are only bus options, whereas other cities have trams, ubahn, Sbahn, metro, etc. Even though each part of the city is well connected to each other, due to less options of transport it takes quite a long time to reach shorter distances. For students, we get a Deutschland ticket so we don't have to pay anything for any transportation.
