View moreETH is an incredibly supportive and educational place when you want to do research. I would encourage any student to do their PhD at ETH. But considering the fact that ETH is rated as one of the best schools, (or even number one in my domain) the teaching is very bad. Students are mostly expected to guess what are the requirements and to study these individually because often the lectures and the materials are incomprehensible and a chaos. It feels like the best researchers become professors even though they have no qualifications for teaching.

View moreThe workload at ETH can often times be challenging. There is a lot of pressure to perform, not helped by many students feeling the need to brag about how good they are. But if you don’t only focus on the studying part and keep a healthy work-life balance, it can be quite rewarding. ETH encourages the existence of student associations and with your payment to the ETH, you get a free membership to ASVZ, which gives you access to multiple gyms and other sports. Overall it has its ups and downs, but the ups win.
View moreStudying at ETH is fun… sometimes. Many courses tend to be a lot of work. There are not only lectures but also exercises one should solve every week which take quite a while to solve. Then there are not only the mandatory courses but also other subjects one has to do for the credits which are not directly related to your major. I think the best part are the events which usually take place in the evening organized by the Fachvereine. I also like the fact that thinking back to where I‘ve started I did learn quite a bit. ETH really makes an effort in giving you job opportunitues with events such as polymesse and kontaktparty etc.
