5 Cool Resources Indians Living in or Moving to Germany Must Know!

In 2020, Germany welcomed many more Indian students, breaking previous records.

Of course, it was difficult moving to Germany, just as it is moving to a new country. Whether for studying or settling down, the good news is that there are quite a number of Indians already living in Germany, making up about 0.2% of the population. This means there's a community of people who understand your culture and can help you settle in. They offer support and advice to newcomers when finding the right university program or adjusting to life in a new place.

Some schools and organizations mainly help Indian folks settle in and feel at home in Germany.
