What‘s your nicest memory of Braunschweig and do you have a favorite place?

Living in the student dormitory at Sielkamp 5.

 

Reasons why the TU Braunschweig is a great place to study:

Solid education, excellent, impressive people.

 

Describe the time of your studies in 3 words:

  • Challenging
  • Demanding
  • Trendsetting

Which contents of your studies can you still use in your career today?

Everything fundamental that I have learnt finds its way into my everyday life and shapes my actions.

 

Are you still in touch with former fellow students? Do you see each other and if so, how often?

Yes, there is contact with former fellow students, but no organised meetings.

 

What advice would you give current students for their personal career planning?

  1. Do what you enjoy and what you are really good at.
  2. Don't let the unrealistically exaggerated expectations of others confuse you. We all put our trousers on one leg at a time!
  3. Instead of grumbling about the infinite, galactic darkness in the universe, light at least a small candle whenever you can.

In one sentence - In the future I wish the TU Braunschweig:

Good luck, good teachers and good, committed students.
