Gujarat to Germany: A Journey of Cultural Discovery and Academic Growth

Hey there! This is Vidhi from Vadodara, Gujarat. I'm going to talk about my journey from Vadodara to Berlin.

When I first landed in Berlin in October 2022, I was hit by two things right away—the chill of a German winter and the fact that Sundays here are nothing like back home. Shops and markets closed, streets a little quieter—a very different rhythm from India, where life buzzes seven days a week. Adjusting to this slower weekend pace has actually been refreshing in some ways, encouraging me to plan my time and take restful breaks.

Why did I choose Germany?

Germany was always on my list for higher studies, mainly due to its reputation for affordable, high-quality education and its technological advancement. Studying Data Analytics at BSBi in Berlin aligns well with Germany's strong emphasis on tech innovation and data-driven fields. Moreover, Europe's mix of rich history and modern infrastructure is fascinating. I knew Germany, with its scenic landscapes and well-organised cities, would offer a fulfilling life beyond just academics.
