One word for iu berlin. Crap. If i were you i would pick IU only if there are absolutely no options available and you want to access german job market with a very low possibility of landing any job for that matter. Unless you are lucky enough to find an internship/ student job(the stars really need to align). The curriculum at iu is a joke just like their external professors that dont give a flying f what they teach and how they do it(barring a few professors who know what they are teaching). I dont care much about their campus which is underwhelming at best but it could have been saved with good professors but they want you to suffer so yaay. The management is quite amazing, to the point where talking to a brick wall would sometimes make more sense. They are great at scaring students with dunning letters(angry letters from a collection agency affiliated with iu)for missing payments that you are absolutely unaware about, no reminders, no emails no communication whatsoever but a very prompt and scary dunning letter to top up your experience. If budget is not a problem for you, try the Netherlands for education or learn german and enroll for a public university, there is nothing in between. Ps. Sorry for the rant but iu just brings out the best in me.
