RWTH Aachen - an underappreciated gem bordering Germany, Netherlands and Belgium
Tips: Learning some German will go a long way, it is a very international environment so you can definitely get by just with English but to make more friends and assimilate yourself, it is really appreciated to learn the language, the local also appreciate it. It is also cheaper to learn German in India than in Germany xD It is also very important to get good insurance. Your student status requires you to have valid health insurance, but it is highly recommended to also get a private liability insurance for a few Euros per month, which protects you from any accidents that you can be involved in that damage someone else's property. I applied for and got a scholarship specific to my course. The deadline was a few months before the regular admission deadline and it provided me about 500 Euros per month stipend for 2 years and an internship (working student/HiWi) contract for the first year for 8 hours/week that also paid about 500 euros per month. You can find student jobs at a lab provided you have a little background knowledge in the subject, usually English is sufficient for this. If you want to work at a tech company or a Fraunhofer, knowing German can help. I am very satisfied with my university. The faculty has been superb and there is excellent research in Physics here. It is also very affordable, charges zero tuition and studentship comes with a national travel card that allows you to avail all the public transport in the country, bus, tram, train, for free. The cost is included in the semester fee of about 300 euros.
Likes (Internships): Every few months, the student body and the university organise a career/job fair to arrange internships for the students and provide valuable guidance and upskilling for soft skills. There are numerous calls for international exchange visits/internships under the Erasmus and other programmes that the RWTH is a part of, which all students, regardless of whether they are only European, can participate in.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Even for a small college town, they have almost 10-15 Indian restaurants in the main city region, with reasonable prices 10-15 Euros for a meal, some focus on North/South Indian cuisine. I prefer cooking for myself to manage budget and health, it is quite convenient and possible to find food that suits your dietary requirements (veg, vegan, hall, etc.).

4.1
Production engineering at RWTH.
Tips: They do have English courses available through the RWTH International Academy. But those courses have tuition fees involved, for which they also have various scholarship programs that one can apply for. Also a lot of people have doubt whether the RWTH international academy courses are similar to the RWTH courses in German. I would say we both share the same faculty members, classrooms and networking events and it makes no difference. The only benefit you have is that the course is in English. The degree would have the same value as the one from RWTH.
Likes (Student Life): There are lot of events happening throughout the semester to meet with people and interact with people from different countries. Also the variety of events happening here means everyone can find their own crowd. There are music events, club parties, food events and sports events to name a few.
Dislikes (Part time work): Aachen is not as big a city as Cologne or Bonn or Düsseldorf. So finding part time work here is a bit tough, but there are adequate options for someone who is looking for part time. You do have the option of getting a student assistant role at the university but it's pretty limited. MS part time work here would beat grocery stores and restaurants.

Breaking down the academic life in Germany.
Tips: I did not experience much cultural shift because in our course 40% students are Indian and there are huge number of Indian students in Aachen combining all courses. It's a good thing in a way but due to this we did not mix up much with other international people. I got the High Potential Student Grant from the RWTH Internal Academy which covered the feels for 1 semester out of 4. The application for it was included with the application for the masters programme. The allowance was one time for 5500 euros. RWTH is a great university, but like other Technical Universities, the focus on theoretical part is much more compared to the practical aspects which are actually required by the industries. So those things have to be learned through self study and personal projects.
Likes (Safety): I am not aware of the facilities provided to ensure student safety. Also most of the universities have no defined campus as such. The institutional buildings are spread all over the city. Aachen is very safe even at night. I did not have any bad experience here.
Dislikes (Internships): You have to find internships yourself. The companies post their opening on their official job portals or linkedin or some other sites like Stepstone, Glassdoor etc. The university can only guide you regarding the contact and legal stuff but no help regarding the internship hunt. There are internship positions relevant to my field of study.

Master of Science in Transport Engineering and Mobility (In German) - Batch of 2025
Offered by RWTH Aachen University
4.5
One of the best university, which also means tough courses and competition.
Tips: I did not pay any tuition fees for my course. There is a 300 euro fee for a student ticket, discounted food in the canteen and other services. The university provides difficult courses that are very tough to pass. You need at least 50% marks to pass the subjects. The exam length is decided according to one minute per one point. Furthermore, the professors are friendly and masters of their domain. I got into my course because I had a very good final graduation in my Bachelor's.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): When you get a full time job, you can apply for a blue card, which gives you 4 years of visa. Afterwards, you can renew your blue card or apply for permanent residence. For permanent residence, you need at least B1 B1-level German. Getting permanent residence (PR) is beneficial in case you lose your job, as you get financial support from the government. Without PR, you only get three months to find a new job. So I would consider getting a PR.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are three Indian restaurants they all have traditional Indian food. Paneer tikka and rice 13 euros, Chicken tikka and rice 13 euros, Bhindi, mix-veg, etc. With rice 11-12 euros, regular naan 2 - 2.5 euros, garlic naan and utter naan 3.5 euros.

Home, away from home in Aachen.
Tips: I have become independent and a bit social after joining the university. Networking has become one of the most important learnings so far. The courses might feel intimidating at first, but if you spend some time with the topics, you'll get through. Stay focused on what lecturers say.
Likes (Safety): I never faced any form of unsafe experience. The city of Aachen is very student friendly and almost every person you meet in public transport has high chances of being a student. All cultures and communities live in harmony and are supportive of students needs.
Dislikes (Student Life): The day starts with revising college lecture notes, video that took place last night. Checking schedules and lecture halls for today's sessions. Keeping yourself up to date with technological advancements in our field and how the fundamentals taught to us relate to them. The university has a diverse range of events, from CV check to conduct-yourself workshops, to fun events like Christmas Ice skating events. There are clubs and communities for almost everything you can think of.
