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.

Challenging yet rewarding academic experience at RWTH Aachen.
Tips: Transitioning is slightly challenging in the beginning due to cultural differences but Aachen is very student-friendly, and since RWTH has the largest international student community in all of Germany, it is easier to adapt and make friends. However, basic German skills would be really helpful in navigating daily life as well as the bureaucracy as you settle down in the city. Over time, adapting becomes easier, and the overall experience is rewarding. RWTH offers scholarships, even for non-EU students, but they are competitive; one can find all the information on the university website.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at RWTH are highly knowledgeable and bring strong academic as well as industry experience. The professors and the TAs are easily approachable and would answer questions during and after the lectures. They also offer regular office hours for discussing concepts in detail. Professors have extensive experience in the industry in major companies and have also launched their own businesses, so the teaching is accompanied by real industry insights. Management courses have many tasks, projects and case studies based on real-world scenarios, pushing you to think practically and analytically.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are opportunities for part time work at RWTH Aachen and in the city; they are somewhat competitive and not always easy to secure immediately after arrival. On campus jobs would be HiWi positions, research assistants or administrative roles. Quite limited and often require specific skills, related coursework and sometimes even good knowledge of German. Off-campus jobs would be in sectors like restaurants, warehouses and delivery services, which also require basic German skills. Part-time work is manageable, but keep in mind that the academic workload at RWTH is very demanding, and there's a strict limit on the allowed hours on your student visa.

Diverse campus and good faculty.
Tips: Learn some amount of German before coming here. This will help you in doing your daily activities effectively. Be prepared for harsh weather for a few months as there is extreme cold and loads of rainfall. Studies are gonna be hectic so study precisely and also do learn to cook.
