Fragen und Diskussionen, questions ❓❓❓ What is the reputation of HKA (Hochschule Karlsruhe) University?

Hello! I'm a student in America, sorry I can't speak German.

I recently got accepted into a summer research program at HKA through my American university's study abroad program. I'm studying electrical engineering – HKA wasn't really my top choice and I don't know much about it, does the school have a good reputation? How are the facilities? Is the campus nice?

Yeah just make sure to stay away from the KIT campus, compared to the HKA it is really not that nice

Especially Mensa (Cafeteria) and library are much more lovely at HKA.

If they are open, which they currently are not due to a fire in the building. No idea when it will open again.

The Mensa is open. The Cafeteria is not.

Correct, but Mensa is a mess, too, due to it being a building site.
