Engineering college with great facilities and faculty
Tips: German is a must for Bachelors in my college There is no campus selection so you have to look for jobs FH Aachen focuses on practical more than theory, so there are a lot of labs in the course The entire bachelor's course is taught in German If you are coming from India u need to do a Studienkolleg before you start.
Likes (Value for money): The Tuition fee is 350 euros per semester, which is minimal and very affordable. I think the tuition fee is very justified and it's cheaper than most colleges in the world. 350 euros per semester also includes a travel ticket that you can use to travel all over Germany on regional trains.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Since there is no campus selection, the university does not care if you get a job or not. They conduct regular job fairs, but the job market is pretty bad in Germany for entry-level jobs. You can always look for a part-time job at the university or outside in your field or outside your field.

Perfect mix between theoretical and practical learning with interesting subjects to offer.
Tips: The learning process and exams are quite different from India. They focus more on core knowledge development rather than simply teaching the theory. Many subjects include relevant Industry examples and the faculty themselves have decades of experience.
Likes (Value for money): There are no tuition fees as this is a public university. However we have to pay 300-400 euros per semester as semester contribution, which also includes Deutschlandticket and among other small contributions and thus covers all your travelling costs in the entire Germany.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are no campus placements in Germany. Students have to search for a job themselves. So it completely depends on the student and their commitment. In my experience, the way you prepare yourself after coming here defines your path forward. Applying to jobs is not enough, you need to share your profile with your network, including the faculty and supervisors and attend seminars, conferences, etc. All this will give you a better chance in future.

For me, it was a very mediocre experience from the start to finish.
Tips: If you're planning on headed to Germany for your Bachelors or Masters, honestly, try to hit that C1 level in German before you even get here. It makes life so much easier. Also, don't just wing it—do some proper digging into where you’re going to live, what your specific research field looks like, and just the general 'vibe' and etiquette of the area. It really helps to know the local unwritten rules before you land.
Likes (Indian Food): Have had plenty of options to find Indian food as well as Indian groceries. Although it differs from city to city about the pricing and quality, the thumb rule is where there is just one Indian shop, the owner would charge more. But it's better to cook for oneself than to go out. One more thing everyone should remember is that there is no such rule of MSP as we have in India.
Dislikes (Safety): Some bad experiences with local people being unwelcoming towards non-native people regardless of the situation other people are in. Plus, the local foreign office is outrageously competent, where even expats with exceptional skills are treated harshly.

Overall pretty satisfied
Tips: Coming to Aachen from abroad is definitely a cultural adjustment, but the stereotype that Germans are cold or rude really isn't true in my experience. Most people here—especially fellow students—are helpful and approachable if you just ask. Aachen is a massive student city, so locals are super used to international students and don't make you feel out of place.
On the academic side, I've been really happy with how FH Aachen operates. Unlike traditional research universities, the professors here come straight from industry, so lectures are very practical and directly tied to real-world engineering or business problems. Classroom sizes are relatively small compared to big uni lecture halls which makes it much easier to actually talk to your professors, ask questions and get feedback on your work without feeling like just a number.
