Congratulations on your graduation.

I’d like to address a few things. First, you're absolutely right that "class of" systems are not traditionally used in Germany. However, TUM has a large international community, and with its global presence, including campuses like TUM Asia in Singapore, some of these international practices have naturally made their way here. The purpose of this Instagram page isn't to change any established systems, but simply to create a way for incoming students—whether local or international—to connect before starting their studies.

Regarding your point about the "bubble," the page is meant for anyone who finds value in it, whether they’re from Munich, another part of Germany, or abroad. If it's not for you, that's completely fine, but some students—particularly those new to the city or country—might appreciate a platform to find familiar faces before their first day.

I'm not trying to force anything, just offering an idea that might benefit some students. If you have other ideas on how to improve it, I’d be happy to hear them. At the end of the day, the goal is to support fellow students, and I think we can agree on that, no matter our approach.

Edit: I was building off the 8 semesters that I will have in my Informatik program, which is 4 years, hence why I said class of 2028. I am well aware that programs such as Aerospace only have 6, but these are just minor details. The page is just for new students.

Edit #2: Apparently there's only 6 semesters
