- Half the city is the campus, and it's massive.
- It focuses on independent research and innovation, where you're responsible for everything and there is no hand-holding.
- The cost of living is reasonable compared to other cities in Germany.
Dislikes
- It can be challenging to learn German when everyone around you is speaking English.
- The mathematics courses can be challenging compared to other universities.
- The course structure can be confusing for beginners.
- I opted in for off-campus accommodation, for which I paid 400 euros a month. This included all facilities lile electricity, internet and repairs if needed. I got the accommodation via WG-Gesucht, which is the prevalent platform.
- It can be difficult to find a place as an international student who's outside of Germany due to trust, so starting early is recommended. The city is small, so one is always at max 30 mins away from the campus.

- The Masters programme provided access to diverse courses which can be taken other than the main courses mandatory as part of the Masters Programme. This provided an opportunity to explore other fields by taking the courses and learning more. Although there the programmes are structured the students have the chance to explore a lot which is different from some of the education systems in the world with fixed programmes. This might be overwhelming for students who come from an education system where everything is planned and provided to the students
- The university provides various sports and extracurricular facilities for students to explore and actively pursue them
- The university provides language learning courses which can be very well planned within the courses schedule not disturbing the daily lecture plans
Dislikes
- There is a lot of competition among the available opportunities like research assistant positions and projects among the large number of students in the university
- The sports and extracurricular options are also difficult to get due to large number of students applying for it
- Although there are Student Dorms available, getting a place in the student dorm is really difficult with waiting times sometimes upto 1 year or even more
- There are student dorms available in the university. But due to the large number of students indians rarely get a place in the dorms. Firstly, there are a large number of students looking for student dorms and the dorms try to maintain diversity in the student dorm, avoiding too many students from one country in the dorm. Due to these regulations and the large number of indians applying for student dorms, it becomes extremely difficult to find a place at the student dorm. One has to be on the waitlist for almost a year and may still not get a place in the student dorm.
- There are student associations to help in searching for accommodation but one has to search oneself. Associations or others can just provides leads or answer queries to some questions and cannot provide any concrete accommodation options
- For student dorms rent ranges from 250 Eur to 500 Eur. Some student dorms also provide accommodations for students with families, which might be a little expensive but way lower in cost compared to private apartments.
- I would suggest registering for the student dorm waiting list already when one makes the application for the course and keeping renewing it every month without fail. Once the waitlist number reaches single digits, approach the specific student dorm and ask for available options.
- The student dorms are spread out all over the city and not concentrated in a particular area.
- A strong suggestion would be to find an accommodation as close to the university as possible in the same city and not in the neighbouring city. Living far away might make you not get involved in the ongoing campus events and lose out on the opportunities to experience university life.
- Beware of scams asking to transfer money as a caution deposit and rent before having a look at the apartment and signing the contract. Transfer the money only after signing the contract and meeting the landlord in person or someone meets on your behalf. Talk with the prospective flatmates to be sure that the advertisement is legitimate. There are a lot of scams done by people taking advantage of the accommodation crisis in Germany.

- Lecturers have built their reputation in the fields they teach in
- Access to good research to decide future interests
- Helpful online material
Dislikes
- My course is from RWTH International Academy, a private organisation inside RWTH Aachen University, but we still get the degree from the University. They charge high tution fees.
- Some lecturers tend to read from the presentations
- Applications like WG-Gesucht, ImmoScout24, whatsapp groups, known contacts
- 400 in 2022; now I would say 500. Rarely for 3-sharing apartments do you end up in the €350-400€ range. Only rent, water and heating. Electricity and Internet usually our responsibility
- Extremely high demand due to high intake; it's better if you know the language
- No specific regions for Indians, distributed throughout the city
- Have patience; do not rush into decisions that might be scams. find other Indians to possibly scout the area if possible

- Infrastructure
- They provide me the best study facilities, upto date with suitable realtime experience to the course help of companies and labs.
- Course structure is well advanced according to the current market
Dislikes
- There is nothing I have to dislike
- There are a lot of options to find the accommodation. I find it with the help of an app named WG. University also provides student dorm facilities; students need to apply through a website to get them. I am paying around 400 euros per month for my 2-shared apartment of 62 m². It includes the rent, electricity, gas, water, wifi, radio tax and heating cost. There are a lot of scams ongoing while searching for accommodation here; that was my challenge while finding one.
- The best thing is my accommodation is near to the university's main building; I can access it within a 7-minute walk. There is a bus stop near to my apartment within 200m and a railway station within a 10-minute walk, as well as 3 supermarkets and other shops.

- There are numerous opportunities to gain practical experience through project work with industry partners, internships, and thesis research. Additionally, there are many clubs where you can share and discuss your ideas with like-minded peers.There are numerous opportunities to gain practical experience through project work with industry partners, internships, and thesis research.

Dislikes
- I can says for my course : Need to be change the old traditional method of teaching.Need to include more and more recent trends course like LLM, GENAI, More lean towards optimization , Very basic part of data is covered
- College can help you in searching for this; there are a lot of platforms.
- Monthly rent varies from city to city from 300 euro to 800 euro (it includes all facilities).
- if you are in Aachen, it will cost you max 350 , but at the same time in Munich, it will cost 800 euro. There are a lot of scams going on in the name of renting, so beware of that. My accommodation is 4 km from the university; many students live there.

- The university offers state of the art infrastructure
- Students are the top most priority and any issue is proptly resolved
- The food offered in the mesa is super cheap and delicious
Dislikes
- There is bit of issue with transparency of course structure ans student need to plan themselves
- Accomodation is not handled by university which leads to issue in identifying places to stay
- There are no direct placement offers and one needs to search for jobs on their own
- I found my accommodation using the local room-finding app called WG gesucht. There are accommodations provided in different student complexes, but the application process is not handled by University and there is a waiting list so there is no guarantee of assured rooms.
- One needs to privately look for apartments in shared spaces as well. I got a studio apartment for myself costing about 350 euros, with electricity separate. The campus is spread out with great transport connectivity, and also the town is very small so everything is 30 minutes away at max.

- Flexibility with choosing your specialization based on your selected courses
- Hybrid class program with the ability to study at your own pace
- Ample opportunity to work in industry-funded projects
Dislikes
- Not much practical projects to get involved with (most of it was theory)
- No campus as such (There are univ buildings spread around the city)
- No opportunity for campus placements (you have to look for jobs on your own)
- We used an online college portal to get the university dorms (subsidized rates). Other than that, we could also find private accommodation mainly on Facebook groups or through student network. The monthly rent typically is around 300-450 euros per month, which generally includes room, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, furniture (in some cases)
- There were challenges related to language while finding the accommodation. If the flat mates are German, they would prefer someone who can speak German (which is fair). It is always preferred to start looking for accommodation at least one-two month before moving to Germany. Also, since the college does not have any campus, the institute buildings are spread around the city, there is no specific location which you should look for. However, still it's better to be at the center of the city and hence students can look for accommodation near Ponttor, Elisenbrunnen, Mensa academica, Halifaxstrasse, etc.

- I like the Campus and Library.
- Professors are well-qualified and have good experience.
- The main building called Super C has all the facilities of documentation for students at one place.
Dislikes
- Less job opportunities around University.
- Sometime schedule feels a bit hectic.
- Difficulty in finding accommodation.
- You can use the university website to apply for student dorms, WG-Gesucht, and other relevant apps. Challenges would be that the process is highly time-consuming and fake ads. Make sure you pay the amount in person after coming here if you don't find the opportunity to be reliable.
- One suggestion would be to make friends in Aachen through LinkedIn who will be your senior so that he can assist you, guide you, recommend you, and possibly check the accommodation options if it's genuine.

- University follows upto date curriculum with expertise companies such as KUKA, Fraunhofer etc,
- Of course it has Well Experienced Professors who are specialized from ETH, and top 1% researchers
- The Research and Development is good but not on advanced topics or future tech, Industrial Technology usage with partnership of companies
Dislikes
- The courses and Examinations are tricky that we need to implement concepts solve complex problems.
- It usually takes 2.5 to 3 years to clear masters degree since since the examinations are tough and follows strict grading .
- Teaching methodology isnt that good, indeed some phd thinks students know everything and teach how they prepare for there research.
- I choose Off-Campus accommodation, since the price of On- Campus is high and the resources are limited. Initially through AISA housing group for Indians, later used WG Gesucht application to find accommodation.
- My monthly rent will be 480 EUR with all amenities such as washmachine, dryer, electricity, gas, heater, wifi.
- My suggestion would be to apply for Studentenwerk dorms at the beginning of the year. The prices would be cheaper compared to normal apartments.
- My accommodation is 3 kms from the university and easy accessibility of public transport, most Indians stay in City Center areas.

- The Faculty: All professors of our course are extremely knowledgeable, have a rich academic and professional history and it also reflects in the teaching.
- The mode of teaching: We have a spilt classroom method, where we learn the theory part of the lecture beforehand and actually get the opportunity to practically apply those concepts.
- The Events: As we are students of the business school, we get the opportunity to participate in formal workshops/ events with outside lecturers and also we get to attend informal parties and events which are always a great place for interaction and networking.
Dislikes
- The mode of examination: A lot of students feel that the current mode of examination which is "online" is not the best way to evaluate a master's degree course and in todays era of chatgpt, it is a piece of cake for anyone to score high.
- Job Search/Placement: I feel for a university, who is providing us with the education should also support students for job search. They can offer focussed preparation for specific positions/industries, interview preparation etc. - This is more relevant when you look at it from a perspective that students studying at the business school are essentially internationals and hence new to the german market, they should be trained and supported with that know-how.
- Lack of Diversity: Connected to my previous point, I feel that there was a significant lack of diversity in my course - major chunk of students are from India. Which doesn't exactly contributes to an "international exposure".
- I live in an off-campus apartment, which I found from the most famous and common place to look for housing options in Germany, which is Wg-Gesucht.
- My monthly rent is around 450, which is on the higher side considering Aachen.
- One can find much cheaper accommodation in Aachen; however, finding accommodation in Aachen isn't straightforward.
- It's a really difficult process to find a good place to live in Aachen; as it is a student city, there's a constant demand for apartments.
- I personally luckily did not face a lot of challenges in finding an accommodation and would just recommend starting looking early on and looking for new ads daily.
- Since the university is spread across the entire city and is not at just one location, if you're at a fair distance from the centre, you're good to go.
- And there is no such thing as "a place where Indian students stay.".
