University of Paderborn Review
Tips: Yes, there was a cultural shift for sure, but I would say the transition was rather smooth. There is a large Indian community here who are all very helpful, and they made my early days quite easy. No, I didn't get any scholarship. I would say I am very satisfied with my choices for my university, course, and country. One thing that I would suggest to others looking to come to Germany is to try and invest more time learning the German language, as that's what helps you immensely in your day-to-day life, and I would say it has a heavy impact when it comes to looking for full-time job roles, as they do filter out candidates based on their German language proficiency.
Likes (Indian Food): There are 2-3 Indian restaurants in the city; also, there's a store called SNS that sells Indian spices and other food items, so one has access to everything needed to be able to cook the same meals that they did back home. I prefer cooking myself.
Dislikes (Internships): I knocked the rating down because Paderborn doesn’t really have big MNCs or tech companies partnering directly with the uni to hand out internships. You're basically left on your own to hunt for roles, send out cold applications, and handle the whole job search yourself. The one saving grace, though, is that we have the Fraunhofer research institute sitting right on the same campus. For a computer science student, that is huge because a ton of us end up landing working student positions (Werkstudent) over there. So while industry connections from the uni side are pretty lacking, having a massive research hub next door gives you a solid backup option to get experience.

International multicultural university
Tips: Moving here was a smooth transition, though one should definitely learn the German language beforehand to communicate easily with local people daily. I didn't get any scholarship myself, but students can easily apply through DAAD. Overall, I am very much satisfied with the university, course quality, and living in this country.
Likes (Value for money): Because it is a public university, it is completely tuition-free for international students. There is only a minor semester contribution fee required, which is incredibly valuable since it fully covers the cost of public transportation across the entire region in Germany. This makes the overall return on investment exceptional for anyone studying on a student budget.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Most restaurants serve very limited Indian food options, and the authentic taste is often missing. Because of this, I usually prefer to cook my own meals at home. Eating out frequently is also quite expensive and not sustainable for a student budget on a daily basis.

Universität Paderborn - Not a bed of roses
Tips: It is difficult to adjust in the first semester. The courses are very practical and not theory-based like in India. The university has limited options for student jobs as researchers. The course is tough. In computer engineering there are 4 mandatory courses. 2 of them are quite tough. The university and infrastructure are decent.
Likes (Public transportation): Paderborn city is small and well-connected by public transportation. The university is quite centrally located. The ticket is included in the semester contribution. The Deutschland ticket can be used to travel anywhere in Germany for local buses and trains.
Dislikes (Internships): It is difficult to apply for internships in the companies near the university since internships are not mandatory. The companies prefer students who need mandatory internships for completion of their course. Not many companies are located in Paderborn. You will have to travel to bigger cities for student jobs and internships.

University of Paderborn - Great and fun University
Tips: Just a heads up, the local food and how insanely strict the rules are out here will probably give you a massive culture shock at first. It's definitely a weird adjustment, but you honestly get used to the whole vibe faster than you think. It takes a little time to get used to, but honestly, it’s not that bad because there are a ton of Indian restaurants and grocery shops right around the corner from campus. Having those nearby makes it super easy to grab a familiar meal or track down home ingredients whenever you start feeling homesick, which completely saves you during your first few months. Also, the main difference is how we behave in a public space, like speaking friendly or loudly might be normal, but here you should respect other people's personal space. 2. I did not avail myself of any scholarship. 3. The university is awesome; my course was completely English-taught, so I did not face any difficulties, and the teaching staff is supportive.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The city is quite small and friendly, so in case you want to settle permanently, the rent is cheaper than compared to other big cities. Also, the commute to other parts is really good. There is no hassle with the immigration office or the appointments.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Generally, you don't need a company to provide you any kind of sponsor document; you can get the work visa or the blue card based on your job contact. The main jobs are all IT or computer science-related. Companies offer around 40K-55K Euro based on your position and experience.

Research-first, strong CS; basic German helps.
Tips: Research-focused, strong CS, moderate costs; basic German helps. Friendly with no cultural shift but punctuality and paperwork are a must. There were no scholarships.
Likes (Post study jobs): UPB CS grads find prospects in Paderborn/OWL NRW (dSPACE, Diebold Nixdorf, HELLA, Phoenix Contact). Germany offers 18 months post-study stay, then a work permit/BlueCard. Roles: software, embedded, data, test/validation, cloud, DevOps. Entry pay is between 48,000 to 60,000.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Paderborn offers many Indian restaurants and groceries, plus Mensa Indian dishes, but daily home-style variety is limited. Meals run 5-18. I mostly cook for cost and control, eating out 1–2 times a week or choosing Mensa on busy days.
