Anyone who failed out of TUM (specifically Aerospace)?
Hi everyone. Before anyone jumps to conclusions, yes, I failed my GOPs in Aerospace and I am being exmatriculated.
Looking back, it was a mix of struggling with my mental health during the first year (which I didn't address or seek official help for in time) and the fact that I completely lost my rhythm. I wasn't really connected with other students, and commuting 2.5 hours one way to Ottobrunn completely exhausted me (I know others had long commutes too, but it took a heavy toll on me). Because of that, I stopped going to lectures, genuinely underestimated TUM’s pacing, and thought I could just cram and wrap everything up independently in a few weeks.
Alright, I know some might say I didn't deserve to stay at Germany's most prestigious university; that due to my lack of discipline, unseriousness, not stepping into the aerospace wrld the right way, and a few other circumstances beyond my control, I shouldn't be here, and I am fully aware of that. Please, no judgment. That’s reality hit, I learned my lesson the hard way, and I take full accountability for my lack of discipline back then.
I'm not looking for lectures and that chapter is behind me. I have a year ahead of me for the dust to settle, reset, and prepare, and I'm ready to start fresh from scratch with a completely different mindset.
For anyone who stayed on this sub after failing out, whether in the 1st year or laterwhat path did you end up taking? Did you (or anyone you know) make the transition to Aerospace programs in Italy (like Torino with its mix english track or PoliMi), Warsaw, Austria, France, or elsewhere in Europe? I am primarily interested in options taught in English (or English-Italian options like Torino, or full English in Warsaw), and I am ruling out high-fee options like TU Delft.
Even if you didn't transfer personally, if you know someone who did or have insights into the admission conditions and student life at these places, it would be immensely helpful. Thanks in advance :))
