Strong name, real opportunities but plan for the cost.
Tips: This course has a fee it's not free. Start learning German before coming begin your housing search months in advance. Working part-time helped me a lot to understand things. I am satisfied overall. RWTH has a strong reputation, especially with German industry.

University coursework is brutal and intense but you had very wide opportunities and reputation
Tips: Courses are very intense and often theoretical, so finishing the degree in the stipulated time is hard. Still, the quality of the university and its institutions is world class. Students should expect a demanding workload but a rewarding academic experience.
Likes (Public transportation): Well connected across the city, with easy access via the semester ticket. Buses run frequently between the campus, city centre and student areas, and the ticket also covers regional trains across the state, so it is very affordable and convenient for daily commuting and travel.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are options, but most restaurants have adapted to local cuisine and lack the authentic Indian taste or spice. Eating out typically costs 10 to 15 euros per meal, while the university Mensa is cheaper. I mostly prefer cooking myself with Indian groceries from Asian stores.

A plethora of opportunities at a cost
Tips: The course is not free, a separate fee needs to be paid for admission. The average completion time of the course is 3-3.5 years. That excludes any rigorous German language study. Knowledge of the German language is essential to get post-study employment.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is generally down in the tech sector. Over the past 5 years, the market has become highly competitive, and even talented individuals struggle to secure a job. It depends on the city where you study, which determines the density of companies offering roles in your field.

Amazing, Career Oriented, Professional Growth.
Tips: For most of the English-speaking courses, there is a tuition fee. So do not expect to be like a Free Tuition. Learn German to get easy access to the job market (at least B1 level). Scholarships are available for females. I would rate the overall experience very good.
Likes (Public transportation): Semester Tickets are issues by University which lets you access all kind of Public Transport like Buses, Trams, Local Trains etc. The German planning is well known, and hence transportation is very good here. Train delays though most of the time. But transport in cities is quite efficient.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Students can get in contact with faculty members to do their research work, and since RWTH Aachen is one of the TU9 universities, numerous applicants for Jobs have an advantage. However, it does not guarantee a Job but increases chances. Germany is a great place to live, one must appreciate the culture here. Learn German and you can be a permanent part of Germany.

Excellent university , work hard to pass
Tips: If you work hard, then you will pass the exam very easily. Of course, the country is prepared to eat, read, but du00f6ner is good. German C2 or native speaker to get a job. Face racism too even when you speak German. Without language, no job, only odd jobs.
