Living at 250€/month in Frankfurt | Cubity | Student housing

By Admin
Did you know that, you could rent a room in Frankfurt for just 250€/month? Yes, what you heard is true; a student pilot project "Cubity" is in place for revolutionising the housing by cutting down space, energy consumption and rent costs.  Cubity is a joint project at Frankfurt-Niederrad as a part of the "Home: Building and Living in Community" pilot project, which is jointly implemented by the Department of Integrated Urban Development and the German Architecture Museum and funded by the BMUB within the framework of the National Urban Development Policy. Anyone who has been to Germany will know that, renting a house in major cities like Frankfurt is a nigthmare and that too, it is more difficult if you are looking for housing at student rates. Cubity is more like a saviour to all those, who are looking for cheap accommodation. But, the downside being - room are only 7.2meters in size. The room has drawer, wardrobe, bed, a desk and ensuite bathroo...

*This is a Guest post - I am happy to collaborate with Ms. Anusha for this opportunity* I am a PhD student in the University of Hamburg since June 2016. I am working on the project titled "Coupling concepts based on Domain Decomposition methods".

Is it a good idea to join the private universities in Germany?

By Admin
Germany has lot of "public" universities which offer zillion courses in most of the engineering/science disciplines. But still, there are some students who like to apply for the "private" universities which has better acceptance rate on a comparative basis. The application process for these private universities are much simpler and doesn't take much effort. There are some universities which offer good course modules and practical exposure. On an average, most of the private universities ask for tution fees of around 18-20k EUROS for two years, where your living expenses are not included. Thus for two years you would need to spend around 40k EUROS on a whole. Though the private universities charge tution fees, they would not guarantee an job or Campus placement after your studies.

Disclaimer: Nothing of this sort will happen to you, but the below scenario is an excerpt from my observations and experiences Worst case scenario: Assumptions: Your semester intake: Winter | Your destination city in Germany : Dresden | Your landing airport: Frankfurt | You have got Rail&Fly offer along with your flight ticket | Your student buddy has agreed to pick you up from the railway station. You started to apply for the winter intake only in the month of March, hence most of the top courses are already way past their deadline. So you settle for some mediocre course and start with all the process of blocked account, VISA, etc., The D-day has come for you to leave to Germ...

In the past one year, there have been numerous times, many of my friends, relatives, kith and kin have asked me one same question, "HOW DO THEY TEACH THERE??" or "HOW'S THE TEACHING DIFFERENT FROM THE COLLEGES IN INDIA.?".  First and foremost, i would like to introduce myself as an International student of Indian origin, doing my Masters in Germany. I was intrigued by these questions so much, because whenever i do Skype or speak to someone from my home country, i tend to answer these type of questions. I am not saying that, it's bad, but everyone are eager to know the differences in the teaching methods, which led me to write this post on the Educational Differences.  To answer those questions, i would like to first share my experience of college, during my Bachelor's degree; so that you will get to know more about the differences in teaching.
