• I think it is quite difficult to find full-time jobs. I am just finishing up my thesis and until now I could only get one interview after applying to so many companies. I think initially we should not set high expectations for salary, especially because we are less preferred than native Germans.
• Starting salary is normally anywhere between $40,000 and $60,000. Students normally find jobs on LinkedIn.

• Students find accommodation through online websites: WG-gesucht, Immowelt, and Immoscout.
• There are plenty of WhatsApp and Facebook groups. No particular challenges while finding accommodation. When booking accommodation while in India, do not pay any fees and just make a verbal agreement. (This is the norm.)

It is a bit tough, but if you have a group of people, then it is still easy to find places. Search on WG-gesucht; it kind of helps a lot. You can also mail the university to check if there are any dorms available on campus.

My overall experience at my university was overwhelmingly positive. The international program provided me with a unique opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures and perspectives, fostering a sense of global citizenship. The research opportunities I was given allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, enhancing my critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The approachable and knowledgeable faculty members were always available to provide guidance and support, ensuring my academic success. The vibrant social scene and diverse student cohort offered a plethora of events and activities to unwind and connect with like-minded individuals. And having a central location in Western Europe provided me with the chance to travel extensively at relatively low cost, broadening my horizons and enriching my cultural understanding.

It has been a roller coaster journey for me and as of now I am very satisfied with my life here and happy that I have made the right choice.

In terms of infrastructure and facilities, the universities I have worked so far are world class having state of art equipments, vibrant campus life and best accommodation facilities. Having a chance to get interact with European culture with many European colleagues has helped me to build and develop a better character and adoptability.
