Not pontificating, only legit advice for the upcoming/prospective students coming to Göttingen
Tips: Once you receive your offer letter, apply for Studentenwerk (student accommodation) immediately. There is a huge waiting list for student housing allotments, but it is well worth it since the cost and facilities are affordable for students. I would most definitely also advise prospective students to learn German at least at the beginner level.

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.

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.
