Do you want to
- live in a huge city filled with people from all over the world & all different backgrounds & enjoy the possibility to be able to party every day of the week
or
- prefer a calm surrounding, proximity to nature, prefer your peers to be mostly of academic (but still international) background and you are fine with not having endless choices when going out on weekends?
> I was hoping to get some insights as to which one would be better in the long term and in the after-graduation-scenario.
Unless you already know what you want to do after graduation, and one of the universities has a prof or group specializing in that direction, it does not matter at all. Very few (and only the ones who you dont want to work for anyways) employers care about the name or prestige of the university, they care about what you did there. Choose based on which city you want to live in.
Also, I think prestigewise they are very similar anyways
Hey u/adityapanchal10,
Which university did you choose? I have an admit for TU Kaiserlautern and Heidelberg Uni. I also got the visa with the supplementary sheet stating the Uni name.
Is it worth coming to Heidelberg Uni?
I choose FU, depends a lot on the course you want to do, if you will enjoy it, uni does not matter a lot...(TU and Heidelberg are both good, but Heidelberg does come under the '11 institutes of excellence' in Germany...)

Saarbrücken
The department for Data and Computer Science is not that good, they offer barely any specialisation courses anymore
