After a few questions raised by a people here..and a few PMs I got, this entry is gna be mixed with my experience plus clearing/answering some things up from my perspective ...so If anyone wants to come here, these tips should make it a lil easier for you and be helpful.
As I got here, (and the journey with @Joker..in which we missed our plane, spent hell on airport and misplacement of bags), requires another blog entry itself..keep your eye out for that one as well)
I applied to Uni Freiburg as my first choice Uni, because the course offered was exactly what I was looking for. Even before I could send my 2nd or 3rd choice Unis my application, these people responded positively. And I appreciated their quick response.
The full name is Albert-Ludwigs Universität Freiburg.It is the 2nd oldest university in Germany and I am doing MEMs ..one of the hardest programs (And trust me it is extremely hard). The quality of education is mind blowing...(e.g)
two of our prof. teaches us from their own books.
another one has an micro actuator to his name.
and another one has got over 43 patents
Nearly all of them are CEO's of some firm near black forest.
I will quote my senior " Yahan per apney subjects ki balayeen bethi hein".
The Uni campus is state of art with multiple clean rooms, expensive equipment and extensive research going on. Not only in my campus but other specialized companies nearby. Alternate energy solutions is a hot topic here, so alot of money is invested in solar cells, LED and whatnot.
A brief overview of the city of Freiburg.
is a travel destination and a student city. Freiburg is the sunniest city in Germany, and also the most southern.Freiburg im Breisgau (Alemannic: Friburg im Brisgau) is a city in Baden-Württemberg, Germany with a population of about 230,000 people
It shares it's main Airport, there's another one but that is not international and is used mainly for sky diving, etc), with France and Swizerland ( google Euro Airport), both of which are only 25 mins away.
Black Forest was famous for 3 things, as told by our lecturer, and which I also found to be true:
1. Landscapes
2. Cake
3. Watch makers..
And many research companies here used to be run by watch makers. The art of precision and working with small things has been transferred from one generation to another ..and from one profession to another (watch making to chip making:P)
Also Black Forest area is simply the mind blowing-ly beautiful. As @Shyber would say Awesomsaucetastic (did I say that right?)
City is itself georgous sitting in between beautiful mountains.It's filled with students, most of them are girls from all Europian countries learning in Goethe Language Institute, Language/Medician/Bio in Uni Freiburg
There are 5,6 horeschules and 8 fahnhofers here as well.
To clear a few things:
You get a 1 and a half year visa to search for jobs after your degree is finished....and jobs here are plenty...
Germany was just dropped to 2nd largest exported after China, and their young populaion isnt that interested in reproduction and/or scientific fields.
Another thing: Most Girls in main town/cities are 7.5/10..as it is all very multicultural...but if you head in smaller cities or towns I have heard, from quiet a few people, that there they get 10/10 girls everywhere. As I am not that perverted to take the trip myself, treat this is as a scientific analysis....IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE![]()
I trekked in black forest, visited Switzerland and Netherlands all within two weeks of landing here..I have been to Frankfurt, Colonge, Aachen, Stuttgart (car lovers would go mental, like I did), Bonn..as of yet in Germany alone...Travelling here is so simple, very little border control, hardly any checks..everything works on trust system..looks like humans live here
I wish a few people in Pakistan would change, and I am sure our people are
capable of the same.
Doing Nazi salutes, or even mentioning Hitler is a NO-FLY ZONE.
Germans are cold people until you break the ice, after that they are very friendly
Next blog is about what is typically German ...coming straight from the mouth of a German who I know
Pictures would be coming as I am a lil occupied in studies at the moment.
And I did learn German a lil bit in Pakistan from Goethe, it isnt a hard language.
Thank you for reading the blogs.. :
My English isn't outstanding so grammar nazis keep away![]()
hope I answer a few questions.
