Each institute has different activities and each community conducts different events here, like summer parties. Indian students also conduct some activities here during the festival time.

• Currently I am doing free education here at RWTH Aachen, but there is a semester contribution that needs to be paid every semester between 290 and 320 euros approximately. That covers the semester ticket, which helps to travel all of Germany for free and also covers a state in the Netherlands called south limburg. Can travel by bus, train, tram and other public transport except express trains like ICE.

• The campus is lively and has a lot of clubs based on your interests. There will be some or the other event going on since this is the largest technical university in Germany. Keep in mind that you need to move out of the city to find a job opportunity since this is a student city with this university spread all over Aachen.

You'll have to attend meet-and-greet events, networking events with beer and snacks, and events at a startup ecosystem in Aachen called Collective Incubator.

• So, there are some events and activities that are always happening at the technical university, but I can't comment on that since I am not a part of the technical university.
• However, when it comes to the business school, we as well have a lot of happening events all round the year—we have summer party, a course party, meet & eat, christmas parties, etc.

Masters at RWTH was a dream come true for me. More than any technical or educational learning, I gained life lessons. Educationally, the most beneficial part was my master thesis. I enjoyed working hands-on at the laboratories. Germany is a suitable destination for higher studies, if you want value for your money and you don't wish to drown in student debt. Make every day count- you will have to grab opportunities, they will not come to you easily. Be aware of the job market beforehand and seek help when required. Master the german language if you want to settle down after your masters.

Student life at RWTH is happening and eventful. I took part in salsa dance club, INCAS cultural evenings and SKY Campus Aachen meditation group. I also went to the uni gym which is well equipped. WiFi is free everywhere on campus.
