A good university but not all departments are in heigh quality

Overall
TUM is very well-known, I expected more before starting m,y master program there. But I would say the quality of the courses depends on the department. If it is a good department in the university, it may satisfy you. But if not, am not sure.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because you have the chance of knowing a lot of different people in the same sitution as you, and that makes you feel more integrated.

Personal comments
The residences are big, there are lots of students and also events where you can meet a lot of people. Being clean or not depends on the people you live with, but it is normally ok! It is quite cheap, you can have a room for 250 to 350 euro, and although it might be far from city center or the University, it is very good communicated. Public transport works very good and you will be able to arrive any place in 20 min. The University is new. There is one campus in the city centre and another 20min away, but teachers tend to help international students because german language is quite difficult, and that helps to learn faster!

Competent, but not personal
Julian H

Overall
I chose the TUM most of all because of its high ranking and reputation and also because it is quite near to where I live. 
There were many interesting courses and especially for research I suppose it offers very wide opportunities. Though, during my Computer Science bachelor's I often missed personal interaction and practical experience. Besides my studies I worked as a working student. What practical experience I gained there I cannot compare to what I have learned during my studies. Still, both complemented each other very well, as the studies provided my with a basic overview about Computer Science, so that made it easier to learn and order new knowledge from the practical experience from work.

I suppose every bachelor studies are quite general and the more interesting parts come during master's, so working alongside makes good sense anyway. 
For my studies I would have wished for more interaction, just like I was used to from school. At TUM, not only during Covid, a lot is remote or even on-site rather distant because it is such a huge university. But on the other hand, lectures being recorded or livestreamed also had a lot of advantages and provided flexibility.
Still, I almost never had personal contact with a professor (at least for questions right after the lecture when on-site).

I would say, if you do not mind working on your own, if you like flexibility and "home-study", or if you are really motivated for research and proactive engangement, TUM might be right for you. Your degree will have great reputation, though for that you probably have to accept worse grades compared to studying at a german "Hochschule" for example.

Pros
Very flexible, big university with lots of opportunities and a great reputation
Cons
almost no interaction with profs, quite little practical experience, I also did not learn so many skills actually needed in jobs, just a little Java, C and C#, but nothing like Webdevelopment, Data Science, Software Engineering only very little...

Personal comments
In my country they are trying to apply a new system similar to America. But sometimes because of the cultural differences sometimes it makes me think how suitable is this system to us. Both the university and the other foundations have to financially support and encourage students to be more enthusiastic for scientific researchs.
