More than a degree, it is an experience that shaped my future.
Tips: I experienced a cultural shift. I am used to always having noise in Chennai. Moving to Germany and especially Jena was challenging at first, as the city is very quiet; apart from the center of the city, it is rare to see people outside in the street. But I got used to it eventually. I worked part-time at McDonald's (helped a lot in improving my German language skills) and earned up to 450 euro in 2019. The cost for part-time is increased now (and quite sufficient for life here), and it is also possible to get student jobs within the university and institutes; I was just not interested in that. I was very satisfied with the course and university; the university is also known for life science courses and was recognized all around Germany. I did a Ph.D. after my master's and continue to live here. I like the way my life turned out, and the lifestyle here is also good.
Likes (Value for money): There were no tuition fees, just a small contribution each semester as a semester fee (200-300 euro). For the quality of education and opportunities, I found it very worthy and valuable. The transportation was also included in the semester fees, so I did not need to spend extra for that.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There were no specific Indian shops to buy groceries; there was just one Oriental shop, which also had Indian groceries but without much selection. However, there are good online delivery options nowadays. There was 1-2 Indian restaurants; as a student, I found it expensive to eat there.

Good academic experience.
Tips: It is a good university for Biology lovers. Multiple subject options and good collaborations. Internships are not paid but they teach you a lot happening in the field. University life is very much dependent on your interests or how actively you participate in activities. The city, Jena, is quite small but beautiful.

Best research oriented education.
Tips: Make sure to do well research about courses and professors research field etc. Learn German before coming so that well integrated into society and people. Rather, it's not mandatory but will suggest to learn. The course is nice but not industry oriented so keep in mind while choosing an internship.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Easily accessible for students' jobs. Helping with thesis, collecting nice information about different groups' topics related to different subgroups, etc., offers easy internship opportunities under different professors which can work on diverse topics and areas.

Challenging but rewarding.
Tips: Students should be ready to accept the cultural differences and try to gel in. The university and country is very challenging at first, but rewarding at the end. Jena is a small city, therefore English speaking people are less. Make sure to invest some time in learning the language.

Adapting, learning and thriving.
Tips: Before joining, students should be aware that the academic workload is quite intensive, especially in the first semester. The bureaucracy and the language barriers may also pose initial challenges, so it's better to learn German, atleast what you will need for the daily life. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the university, course and life in this country as most of the faculty are supportive, the course is also really good.
Likes (Value for money): There isn't really a tuition fee at university Jena, but you do pay a semester contribution each semester- it's basically a student service fee. It comes with a lot of perks: free transportation across Thuringia, student discounts, access to university sports and facilities, and also the deutschland ticket is way cheaper for students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are Indian restaurants in the city, but the food quality isn't very good and the options are quite limited. It's nice to go there once in a while, though. Sometimes you can ask them to make the food more spicy- or as they call it, "like India". Most dishes are from the northern region, basically the types of food that are more familiar and popular among Germans.

Good university but average faculty.
Tips: The faculty I studied with the exception of some professors is not well-connected or will not take the initiative to help their students network better. The student must roll the ball first and hope the professor is a good fit. Other than that, the city is nice and quaint. Fellow students are kind and offer support.
