A wonderful experience at a word class university
Tips: A cultural shift will always be there but has become a bit easier as there are a large number of Indian students who come there every semester. Scholarships as such are directly limited. There are a few programs that give financial support based on academic performance. I did receive a one-time payment from such a program in the first semester. The university is one of the best in the world; of course, I would say it could have been structured a bit better; didn't feel like a specialization at the end. Germany is great all around if you speak the language.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Most of the faculty are experts in their field of study. They also have a large amount of teaching experience, which allows them to convey things quite easily, which makes it easier to understand for students as well. The course layout designed makes the lectures a lot more interactive.
Dislikes (Value for money): I had to rate value for money on the lower side because, honestly, the financial train of being here keeps creeping up with every new intake. If you're doing one of the specialized or international academy courses, the actual tuition fees are incredibly steep—especially when you realize you could get a practically identical degree for free at other public German universities. Even for the standard programs, between the rising semester contribution and the ballooning cost of rent in Aachen, it starts adding up fast. Half the time, it feels like you're just paying a massive premium just to have the RWTH Aachen brand name on your resume. The university rides incredibly hard on its reputation as this elite TU9 school, but the reality on the ground is just overcrowded lectures, completely brutal exam fail rates, and useless administrative support. Honesty, it makes you question why you're burning through so much cash and sanity for a piece of paper.

Techno management Multi discipline University
Tips: RWTH Aachen has a massive lineup of courses across different faculties, but seriously, do your homework before locking anything in. The workload here is no joke, so you really want to make sure the specific curriculum matches what you actually want to study. On the financial side, definitely look into funding early. I actually managed to score a student networking grant before I even enrolled, which helped a ton. Once you're officially registered, there are a bunch of other post-enrolment options you can apply for through the university portal—like the Deutschlandstipendium or specific faculty grants. Since there are no heavy tuition fees here, bagging one of those scholarships basically means your everyday living costs and semester fees are completely covered, letting you just focus on surviving the exams.

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.

Fun, new learning and exciting.
Tips: You will find cultural differences, but most of the students are international, and the majority will be Indian. It is very easy to find local community members. I didn't avail myself of any scholarships. The course is useful and interesting, especially since the professors are good. Fluent German is mandatory for any on-campus jobs. Even to work hard jobs like in a warehouse, a cashier or a restaurant, you need to know the language, and some mandatory skills would be required. It is manageable with academics as long as your efforts are towards the subjects. The average payout will be 12-15/€ per hour.
Likes (Safety): Here, everywhere, police/security are surrounded, and every region has a police station, with rules and regulations that are very strict. No one can get away with doing anything wrong. You are not allowed to commit any crime. Here, the crime rate is almost zero. The culture itself is very safe, and people are friendly. What’s more, here, you find equal opportunities for all genders as well.

RWTH Aachen University - The largest public university in Germany.
Tips: I recommend that all students learn German before coming to RWTH Aachen University. At least an A2 level is required. The study-life balance here is awesome. We get sufficient time to study and have fun. We get a lot of opportunities to participate and learn from various activities. The scope of learning in fun is highly valuable here. The diverse culture helps us to understand international customs and settings. Research the curriculum and try to determine what job opportunities are available after graduation. And finally, bring all the necessary items with you from India, as they are quite expensive here.
Dislikes (Value for money): RWTH Aachen University is the largest public university in Europe, with a QS world ranking of 99. It has highly reputed faculty members, and its degree is considered highly valuable. The opportunity to find a job or research work is quite easy here.
