Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg Stuttgart Campus

Germany passport · started 2015–2019

This is a technical university where you do a traineeship with a company alongside your studies. So in some subjects, like nursing sciences where I was, there were more international students, in others, like business studies, not very many. Staffwise, most were German or if international at all, European. TCKs aren't something they're very aware of. It isn't a place there are a lot of social things going on, as most students only study there part time. I had more community with the people who were at the same hospital as me, since we'd see each other more often. If you're looking for university life like you read about in American novels this is not the place. But for me, it was fine. I had friends outside of university and one good friend who ended up being in my class who was also a TCK. On hard days we had each other to complain to and to laugh about the more ridiculous ones. One thing I will say, it's a good university if you don't understand how Universities in Germany work, as it's set up with smaller classes (up to 30 in one class) and they pick out your schedule for you for the most part, and they give you 7h days during the time you're in uni to get the most out of it. There are a few subjects you can choose from, but they happen in later years which is nice as then there's no confusion on how ot worls as you will have been in the uni for a while. But, be warned, the traineeship + the bachelors can be quite demanding projectwise! The work never really seemed to end, so be aware that it's called Dual for a reason- you're truly doing two forms of further education at once and it takes a lot of time and energy! Don't underestimate that. Overall, it's a place I went to get a bachelors on top of my vocational training. I feel pretty neutral about it. I already had a support system in place before I joined there, so I wasn't really looking for one there. But it doesn't seem to be the kind of place people form the deepest relationahips just on account of not being there often. Depending on which vocational training you'd be doing alongside uni there, you'll be surrounded by German Germans. But in my city there was 70% foreigners so i found more friends outside uni than in it. So yeah. I think it's more a neutral place. Didn't hate it, didn't love it, didn't expect much of it and got back exactly what i expected from it. Socially it's not really the place to go but I did have friends before going there and outside of there so that might have skewed my perspective.
