Highly qualified faculty.
Tips: The experience of my master's studies at the RWTH Aachen University was very good. Cultural shift was primarily with the language, but the people in Aachen are very welcoming and one can get accustomed to the local culture quickly. I did not avail any scholarship.

A great university with lots of exposure to gain from.
Tips: Before coming to this university or Germany in general, you should have a broad and open mind. Try to respect the boundaries of others and maintain civic sense in public spaces. People here are direct, so don't get offended if someone has said something directly to you. And you should also try to be direct here with others.
Likes (Safety): I feel that the residents of a city are a reflection of a city's safety and security. 95% of the people here have empathy towards others. And therefore, one pathetic environment or surrounding ensures that safety is maintained throughout the time.

A university for someone who is thorough.
Tips: Be very thorough with your basics. The technical courses demand a lot of expertise in the subjects. If you are not very aware of the course, be in a position to grind the coursework and ask plenty of questions to the faculty, to facilitate better understanding.

Absolutely amazing campus for networking, learning and development.
Tips: Be prepared to network more and enhance your communication skills. Always look out for extracurricular and work student opportunities. Be prepared for campus life and the German way of living. Be prepared for the German job market, mainly in professional skills and the German language.
Likes (Safety): Aachen itself is a nice place to live especially for providing a safe environment. The college is spread across the entire city, even then I have never faced any unsafe situation. Student dorms are also very nice with good student groups. The Intac Academy also has a support group which can be reached easily.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee is not justified compared to the colleges that are providing similar courses with zero tuition fees, as in Germany, as per my experience, the college name doesn't matter to get jobs. And in the same college, people are studying Bachelors for free.

Great student life and academics at RWTH Aachen.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a self-driven study culture. The academic environment is more research oriented and less spoon fed. German skills are helpful in daily life and part time jobs. The transition was smooth but there was a cultural shift towards more independence and punctuality. I received a 100% 'Women in Engineering' scholarship and relied on personal funding and part-time jobs to manage other expenses.
Likes (Part time work): RWTH Aachen offers good opportunities that are flexible and student friendly. On-campus jobs such as HiWi, research, or teaching assistant roles. Off campus, students can find jobs in restaurants, delivery services and chocolate factories, though some require some basic German. Part time work is manageable if limited to 8-12 hrs per week alongside academics. The average payouts range from 12 to 15 euros per hour.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The taste of Indian food at restaurants in Aachen is not very good. I have had much better Indian food outside of Aachen. As s student, it does not make sense to spend around 20 euros on food that is not close to authentic Indian taste. There are many affordable options such as Doner, Oizza and other similar cuisines. These are tasty, easily available and reasonably priced for students. I preferred cooking myself. I usually ate outside once a week during the busy period.
