“ “ Von Essen und Kultur über öffentlichen Nahverkehr und Mieten bis zur Atmosphäre in der Gesellschaft und an den Universitäten: Hier erzählen die Befragten, was sie unbedingt noch loswerden wollten. Eine Auswahl. Deutsche Bahn is the best in the world!” The antimigrant demonstration that takes place regularly near my apartment in Leipzig was a serious source of concern to me as I fear for the safety of my family every time the demonstrations are taking place.” (m / Nigeria) I ESPECIALLY LOVED THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN GERMANY - DEUTSCHE BAHN IS THE BEST TRANSPORT IN THE WORLD!” (m/ Indien) The lack of adaptation in the academic system to promote international young group leaders (lack of tenure track positions, lack of hiring early stage international researchers for group leader positions)... in general, the academic system here needs to modernize its structure, it is still highly monarchical, a more horizontal system of science leadership would bring Germany into the 21st century.“ (m/USA) Die Schul- leistungen der Kinder hängen sehr stark von der Beteiligung der Eltern ab, was in unserem Fall mit den beiden intensiv arbeitenden Eltern auch mit einer fleißigen Schülerin problematisch war.“ (w / Russische Föderation) “ Also, having lived in the UK before, as a comparison, customer services are poorer in Germany and people make less effort to be polite with customers.” (m / Rumänien) I truly believe that being a Humboldt Fellow was responsible for much of this success: I had the impression that the people I met were more positive and had higher expectations, because of my AvH Fellowship.” (m/ Südafrika) Dadurch, dass alles streng an Regeln und Verträge gebunden ist, funktioniert im Land alles ziemlich ein- wandfrei.
