“Choosing HTW was the best decision for me”
Anna M
Hungary, Graduate
Business Studies, 2021
OverallI started my master studies during the pandemic. The university mastered the switch to online classes very quickly and made the semester still interesting in terms of my classes. There are several elective courses to choose from to major in a specific field. Furthermore, the degree course is in English and therefore brought German students and international students together. I only visited the campus during the exam period but it was very clean, new and easy to reach in the city centre.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
This is the ideal choice for short-term accomadation. Its personal, you get to see the place before you take it and you can make it your own. As long as you leave it the way you found it there should be no problems. Another major advantage is that you don't have to sign contracts, it is mostly done on wom, recommendations and trust and it also seems to work. I would definetly go this way, if I were to do it again. Altough the arranged accomadation was great at the time, if I were to go back now I would be more experienced into the German accomadation prices and environment. What you do want to avoid is over-priced and heavy real estate fees apartments. Instead use your contacts that you have. Also East Germany, or the former east germany accomadation prices are alot cheaper than western prices.

Personal comments
My personal opinion, is that they did their best. Our apartment was near to the college, other students lived in the apartment block, which encouraged social integration with German natives and other foreign students. This is the ideal to improve your language outside the classroom environment. The room itself was quite small, but apart from that we found it ideal for all our needs at the time and would have no problem recommending them to other foreign students studying in Dresden.

Personal comments
We used to drink in a little student pub on a student campus, near Parkstrasse, but I forget the name it was so long ago. I really liked a particular nightclub, kinda rythmn and blues and good promotional offers, again I cannot remember the name. There is an aray of little student pubs in actual "wohnheims" whose names I cannot remember. Sorry I really cannot remember any of the places that we use to hang out. Most were converted student wohnheims and an aray of nightclubs that I now forget, but for students there is quite an ample amount to choose from. Normally private parties were quite common and a great way of meeting new people. Das war mir lieber.

Academic
Course recommendations
Our course and subjects were picked out for us, we had no choice. I would prefer to choose myself which subjects I would prefer to study. The lecturers, excluding our wonderful Frau Pohl who was our German lecturer, were not very hospitable to us the foreign students, that should really change and greater interaction in a classroom environment should be promoted.

Use foreugn students more advanteously. They should be regarded as secret assets and not liabilities.

“Intermedium studies redesigning on the fly”
anonymous
Germany, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2021
Overall
The program has been redesigned when I applied and half way implemented before and half after. It was a pain in the ass.
During the first semester of my studies it was further implemented including changes to the study plans without asking consent.
My course IB only demands 2 Semesters of forced studies before you can decide for two majors and one minor.
It includes one year abroad 3 month for an internship and one semester studying abroad at a partner university.
You are required to learn two languages, but they only offer three. The teachers in one of them are really bad, not so much teachingwise, but interpersonal.
Can only recommend to study here, when you know how to watch out for yourself.
In case of problems some stuff retain themselves to caring for themselves first and nobody else later.
Some staff are also really nice. They provide good expertise and study materials.
Over all you have to pick your way through this one. But University ought o be like that, at least partially. It will probably get better with time, as they just redesigned studies, but it sucked for me in several regard. Would not do again.
