RWTH Aachen: Top tier engineering, tough but rewarding
Tips: RWTH Aachen is an incredible place for anyone serious about engineering, but students should know that the academic pressure is real and the learning style is very independent. The university expects you to manage studies, handle German bureaucracy, and adapt to a fast, demanding pace. Knowing basic German makes daily life and admin work much easier, even if your programme is in English. The campus is spread across the city, so you'll walk a lot, and Aachen's cold, rainy winters can be tough at first. But it is all worth it.
Likes (Value for money): Indeed, in effect, you will get access to one of the finest engineering universities in Europe, the best labs, and world-class professors. The university collaborates with some of the finest companies like BMW, Ford, Continental, and others, thus creating chances for internships, theses, and jobs paying good salaries.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are barely any Indian food points available here, which is an issue but not a deal-breaker because you can always rely on either donor or pizzas to bail you out. You can always make food at home because of the availability of various Indian shops selling Indian masalas.

MSc SSE at RWTH, Spelled Out
Tips: I can say I had a fairly smooth transition. For me, it was a different experience to sit and learn among students from different nationalities. Also, it makes you more competitive and striving to be among an elite set of students who rival your intellect. The course is excellent, offering a variety of subjects from very experienced and knowledgeable faculty.
Likes (Safety): The safety, as such is pretty good. There has been an incident of women in the university a year back, but it is commendable that the university took quick and strict action against the offender. The city as such is decent, people are generally friendly, and you seldom find racism issues. Junkies do exist in some isolated areas, but they mind their own business and are rarely a problem for the general public.
Dislikes (Internships): The guidance is decent if you enquire about it. Unlike India it is not served on a platter for you. Internships are not mandatory for SSE although you could do one and it definitely boosts your CV. There are many companies in and around Aachen. Cologne and Du00fcsseldorf area, also fully remote options.

M.Sc. Software Systems Engineering at RWTH Aachen University review
Tips: The course is really theoretically heavy and less practical than you would want if your goal is to gain a job in the field. More oriented towards a PhD. Type education. There are career events where you can go and speak with multiple companies and try to land part-time or full-time opportunities. If your focus is getting a job, then you can choose this university, but make sure to look for student jobs early on to gain experience in your field.
Likes (Public transportation): The transportation is great because the university is spread out across the city and you can get there easily by bus. There are only buses available within Aachen city. Sadly, there are no trams, but you don't really need them in such a small city like Aachen. The semester fee also covers transportation costs for one semester, so it's a great value for money.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few restaurants that have Indian food, and they are decent, I would say, but I would prefer more restaurants and better quality. They also don't have a lot of Indian cuisines, so you can mostly get North Indian stuff easily, but you'll have to go to Ku00f6ln to get good South Indian food. I usually prefer to cook at home and eat out less.

A perfect Academic course for Transportation Enthusiast
Tips: About the university, course and country its sport on if you are willing to learn German language. Even for the part time and after graduation German language skill is very important. I didn't get any scholarships or something. I have managed my finance by own. Also before joining the course please review the course first as I have seen lot of people who quite the course after 2-3 semester because the don't able to complete the exams.
Likes (Value for money): RWTH Aachen is an absolute steal when it comes to what you're actually getting for your money. Because it’s a public German university, there are zero actual tuition fees. You only have to pay a relatively small semester fee twice a year, and honestly, the perks completely cover that cost on their own. The biggest highlight is that this fee includes the country-wide Deutschlandsemesterticket. Having that means you can hop on any regional train, bus, or metro across the entire country for completely free. Just using it to travel around North Rhine-Westphalia or take weekend trips out of Aachen makes the semester contribution worth it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As an Indian vegetarian, it is hard sometimes to find vegetarian food outside, so you should have to manage cooking with studying and a part-time job. I always prefer to cook at home rather than eating out, as it saves much more cost. But yes, you can also find Indian restaurants here in Germany. There are also Indian grocery stores where you can buy Indian groceries. Apart from that, German supermarkets also have the most common groceries like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.

RWTH Aachen presents an amazing opportunity to learn all the essential skills.
Tips: The best part about RWTH Aachen is that tuition is basically nonexistent for almost every course. You just have to shell out around €300 each semester but that’s not actually tuition—it’s a student contribution fee and it covers your Semesterticket, which gives you free public transit across the entire state. But here’s the catch you can't ignore: you need German, period. Even if your specific master's or bachelor's degree is taught entirely in English and you can get by on campus just fine, the bubble bursts the second you try to find work. Aachen is a massive tech and engineering hub, but local companies and startups expect you to actually communicate with their teams. If you want to land a solid student job (HiWi) on campus, a part-time corporate gig or a full-time role after you graduate having a strong grasp of German is a total game-changer. Without it, you're competing for a tiny fraction of English-only roles, which makes the job hunt way more stressful than it needs to be.

RWTH Aachen: Rigorous, International and Student-centric
Tips: You absolutely have to learn the language here. It just makes life so much easier when you're trying to get around the city, chat with strangers, or ask for directions, since almost everyone naturally speaks German. Also, make sure to check the official website for scholarships. Because I took the time to learn the language beforehand, my tuition fees were basically nothing compared to the actual cost of living here.
Likes (Public transportation): It offers a lively student environment with many opportunities to meet people, join activities and stay engaged outside class. The city itself is very student-friendly, with a large population of students; there were many various activities where I could get engaged like social work.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The professors here are mostly pretty approachable, but honestly, how easy they are to reach really depends on the department and who you're dealing with. Some instructors are super helpful, but in other areas, the amount of support you get is completely hit-or-miss depending on the specific institute or chair. Honestly, that’s just how it goes at a massive university like this.
