TESTIMONIALS
I had an amazing time at the IITM. The lectures and group work with my fellow Indian students were exciting and totally different from what I was used to in Germany. Sometimes I liked the Indian way more but at some times I would have preferred the German working style. I also got the impression that Indian professors are actually highly interested in the student’s understanding their lecture content. On the contrary in Germany students have to prepare a lot of the lecture content on their own. The International Office was very welcoming and did a great job in preparing us to our new university.
I really enjoyed my time at IITM. The lessons were very interesting and enriched my academic and personal point of view. The campus with its nature, was my peaceful home. I also really enjoyed international day and simple life on campus. Other students who went on an exchange at my university were sure to scare me with warnings about unclear directions and administration when it comes to exchange. I can say that thanks to your office, although there was a lot, the administration I had to fulfil was always very clear to me. The office always informed us on time and very clearly. Your office made us feel welcome.
