University of Stuttgart is one of the best in the engineering field. However, most programs are heavily focused on mathematics. It’s an excellent choice for hard-working, ambitious students. However, making friends with local German students can be quite challenging.

Studying here has been a great experience. The city offers a lot of work opportunities, but I recommend applying for a student dorm as early as possible.

There are a lot of assignments, and they can be quite challenging. To succeed, you need a strong mental attitude and a keen interest in your field of study. Without these, it will be tough to graduate.

Language is crucial in Germany. Many students underestimate the importance of learning German, but I recommend using online resources like YouTube and Duolingo to improve your language skills. Practicing with dormmates and classmates will help you integrate faster and also assist with job hunting.
