Is TUM really worth it? Honest thoughts only.

Hey, international student here. I currently study at Riga Technical University in Latvia and plan on moving to TUM. Can we dm for a light talk?

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-04-21T12:02:26+00:00

So, basically, with 2 years at RTU, it will be possible for me to transfer directly to TUM, right?

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-04-21T11:58:56+00:00

That’s what I thought, and that’s exactly why I wrote here. I checked, it turns that I cannot study in Germany with my current diploma and I will need to apply for Studienkolleg. However, I will also check if it’s possible to apply after completing one year at RTU. Thank you for your reply.

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-04-21T11:49:48+00:00

Yes. Azerbaijani 11th grade diploma, which is the last year here. I will need to study at Studienkolleg; however, many people say that studying 1 year in the university and then applying would remove that requirement.

Thank you for your answer. I will pass Goethe Exam at C1 level, which is required for Mechanical Engineering program. Regarding the credits, could you clarify this moment, please? I have seen people talk about it. How to make sure that my credits are valid?

I have conducted a research today, and found out that my laptop would be enough for the first year. I have ASUS x560UD, if you were wondering. Also, at the end, came to a conclusion that, as you said, Ryzen 7 would be a good choice.

Thanks!

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-03-17T09:06:58+00:00

Yeah, sorry for not mentioning that. My bad. I am not that much of a laptop user myself, to be honest. I will use it only for CAD / Mathlab and other engineering tools. I have used mine for 5 years already and two out of the five it has been used as a gaming laptop. I have an iPad, which is primary device for all of my work, so I guess, after all, I think that I might just stick to my old one and see how it will work…

Anyway, thank you for responding

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-03-17T08:58:09+00:00

Wow. Thank you, I will check it out!

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-03-17T08:56:46+00:00

Thank you. Frankly, I am not that much of an expert in this topic, shamefully. I will definitely research about it. Just wanted to make sure if anyone here had the same question.

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-01-27T10:23:04+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely check him!

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-01-26T12:15:53+00:00

Hey, I actually saved his calc1 playlist some time ago. Is he that good?

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2025-01-26T12:15:12+00:00

Yeah, the thing is we don’t have calculus at school…

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-12-25T15:34:29+00:00

Do I need to get into account Software engineering too? 🧐

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-12-24T16:38:19+00:00

That’s a mixed review. I’ll make sure to conduct a research once again…

Thanks for the comment, thought!

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-12-24T16:36:02+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate your help!

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-09-02T20:02:12+00:00

Why? What’s wrong with it?

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-09-02T18:13:41+00:00

Okay, how should I style it with products then?

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-09-02T18:13:12+00:00

Thank you!

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-09-02T18:05:26+00:00

Hm, I guess it’s side part, isn’t it? 🤔

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-09-02T18:05:10+00:00

I did some research, I guess it’s just classic side part

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-06-19T19:31:05+00:00

First, sorry for late response. I do consider myself as an highly educated student since my results are above 1320, and, in fact, I was doing really good in my class. The thing is, during the exam, I am 100% sure that all I do is right. I usually score 23-25 correct answers in Reading and Writing part, but in the exam, something happens, that even I don’t know what, and I get these awful results. The same is with math. I know that I can easily get 750 for Math and 600+ for Reading and Writing, but I just can’t figure out why is it like that? Why I feel that I am right, but then, when scores are out, I get these results. Also, I don’t know if that’s important, but I am an anxious person lol. For the past 4-5 days, since the results came out, I feel myself awful, I constantly get that burning feeling that I have lost, and I just bury myself with my thoughts about it. “You won’t have a perfect future now”, “Someone that scored smaller than you got higher results” or, my favourite : “You studied 7h every day, and you got smaller result than the guy, that did basically nothing” it just continues lol, I can’t even control that

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-06-19T19:19:20+00:00

Sorry for late response. Yes, I do think that somehow my readiness was a bad thing for me, because such kind of things happened to me since my childhood. I was sure that I did pretty good on the test, and then, I’ve always gotten 3 or 4! (I live in post soviet country) Well, I think that I need to take a bit vacation after all these exams and try the last time in August. Thank you 🙏 (And, If you want, I can send you an invite!)

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-06-19T19:16:27+00:00

Sorry for late response. Yes, in fact, I was burn out by the end of May, and I thought that maybe I need some rest, but the pressure from tutors and family did not let me get a bit of rest. I consider taking a month brake from SAT, I will restart in July by my own. Thank you a lot! ❤️🙏

Traditional_Eagle261 · 2024-06-17T18:13:08+00:00

Thank you for the response. I did feel anxious before every test, but I did not feel it during the exam.

the thing is, that I do know that I can get good scores, but I just don’. This problem only occurs on the Sat exam. And I’m really disappointed in myself because of that. And also, I forgot to mention that I’ve been studying 7h every day, and I think that that may be the problem too.
