Constructor University — Attraction in Bremen

As a second year student at Constructor University, I can honestly say that studying here has been an amazing experience. One of the things I love most is how everything happens right on campus. Whether it’s academics, social life, or events, there’s always something going on. Plus, as a female student, safety was a big factor for me when choosing a university, and I can confidently say that Constructor feels like a really secure and comfortable place to live and study.

I’m majoring in Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and one of the best things about my program is how much hands-on experience we get. Where I’m from, students don’t usually get access to labs until their third year. But here, we’re already working in two different labs per semester, even in the first year. That kind of practical experience is super valuable and really helps with understanding what we’re learning in class.

Speaking of classes, the academic environment here is both challenging and motivating. It’s competitive, but in a way that pushes you to do better. The class sizes are just right. Not too big, not too small. So you actually get to know your professors and have meaningful discussions. Having that direct interaction makes a huge difference when tackling complex topics.

Another thing that makes Constructor stand out is how international it is. With students from over 200 different countries, you’re constantly meeting people from all over the world. It’s such a unique environment where you get to learn from different cultures and perspectives.

Overall, Constructor University is the perfect mix of academic excellence, hands-on learning, and a diverse, supportive community. If you’re looking for a place where you can grow, challenge yourself, and meet amazing people from all over the world, this is definitely the...

Overall, Jacobs is quite difficult to describe in a few words. The positive sides are definitely the international aspects, amazing and inspiring people from all around the world, and great professors with mostly small class sizes (the popular first-year classes have about 100-120 students and my smallest class was only five people).

Besides all that, I still do not think that I can recommend Jacobs because the administration and organization are so bad. The semester started two weeks ago and I have been waiting for an appointment to register for classes for several weeks now. A lot of other students have problems with course registration too and it takes forever to get a reply to emails. The registrar has four employees that are responsible for ca. 1500 students and only have office hours twice a week. Additionally, I feel like this place has a problem with ensuring that what they promise is actually delivered. Some professors put in minimum effort (e.g. only uploading screenshots from the book as "lectures" during covid). The food is incredibly overpriced (almost 6 euros for a main dish with meat while you only get 12.66 euros of meal plan money/day) and it mostly tastes terrible, even for dining hall standards. Additionally, there are barely any vegan options and everything is wrapped in paper or plastic which goes against the school's own community standard of...

Attended a semester. I didnt receive textbooks, a syllabus, or notes in many of my STEM classes despite asking my lecturers and TA's (Teachers Assistants). In one of my modules, the instructions for HW (homework) was almost never clear, and had to be rewritten by the TA's/lecturer when it became obvious that we couldnt understand what they were trying to say, but even when they would fix one HW, the next one would still be awfully phrased so they'd have to rewrite it again, and again, and again. The university has done nothing to aid the situation, despite many complaints from students as well as parents. And the reviews talking about the lack of wifi are true-- many of my friends couldn't write their online final exams because the wifi crashed (as usual). The only nice thing is the campus, but even then everything seems to be getting significantly more expensive for no reward. I don't recommend...
