Dislikes
- Tough administrative process with a lot of paper work.
- Highly competitive due to being one of the topmost universities. The study pressure is very very high due to this as well
- Large class size and a lot of students in the courses.
- I have an off campus accommodation which I found it through online website which is the usual practice in Germany.
- The monthly rent for my current accommodation is 450 euros which include the rent, electricity, heating cost and the cost of Wifi.
- Finding an accommodation is really tough and the main challenge is to find the one that fits your budget and needs, you also need to get it verified and ensure it is not an internet scam. Advice for future students is to start finding accommodation 3-4 months early and you might have to pay extra rent for an extra month and do that as it will be worth it.
- My accommodation is 20-25 mins away from the university but the busses run at the interval of 10-12 minutes so it is not an issue.

- International and diverse culture due to students coming from all over the world
- Variety of courses in all domains
- Student initiatives like clubs
Dislikes
- Groupism of localists due to the language barrier as well as racism
- Accommodation difficulties and no support provided by the university to find accommodations.
- Expensive housing due to inflation
- I found my accommodation through the online website called wg-gesucht. New ads are posted there everyday but the competition is very high. One needs to sell themselves very well to be considered for the application.
- 420 EUR rent, including wifi, electricity, heating and water charges.
- Finding an accommodation in the area close to the required amenities like bus stop, market etc was a challenge.
- My recommendation would be to start early, at least 3 months before the start of your course and include your hobbies and interests in the initial message.
- My accommodation is currently 10 mins by walk from the campus.

- German universities offer quality education at 1/3rd or even 1/4th the cost of american colleges. I already was learning German, and being a mechanical engineering student, it seemed like the right choice for me.
- State of the art infrastructure, low tuition fees, happening student life, student benefits, world class research in numerous fields. These are the major plus points.
Dislikes
- Weak placement support, the courses are in english but the job market demands german language. Students are not made aware of this. Almost no lab work is included in the curriculum, even for production-related subjects.
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.

- I chose this particular university because this is one of the best universities in Germany as well as the world and also the research facilities and the post study opportunities of this universities are far better than any other universities that I had surveyed.
- RWTH Aachen is one of the most reknowned and prestigious university in the world and also the top ranking college in Germany in fields of Technology and science. It’s worth mentioning that the courses are not a cakewalk rather they are quite challenging as the end goal of the university is to help students to be the master of the subjects that they are studying.
- Its also not very easy to secure a place at RWTH Aachen University that easily as the application documents are scrutinised by the best of the best professors and only if they find your background, DGPA, internships, and SOP relevant and good enough then only you secure a place. All in all the college grooms you according to the industry standards and make you ready to tackle any real world problems.

It still gives me goosebumps to even think that I am studying in Germany in the most prestigious universities in the world. So my experience here after coming in Germany at a RWTH was quite thrilling and I was really really intrigued and baffled by the whole educational system that is prevailing in RWTH Aachen here in Germany so I am really proud to be a part of it.

- I chose this university for my career growth in Data Analytics.
- My University and course is mainly for those student aspirants who like to advance a career as Data Analyst or Data Scientist. This is also focusing mainly on students who did bachelors in Non - CS or IT background. There is also a mandatory internship in course curriculum which give us a work experience in Germany leading to getting a full time job in Germany as Data Analyst or Data Scientist.
Dislikes
- The course is bit more towards Optimization and Heuristics. The courses related to Deep Learning and NLP is bit less compared to the industry standards. There are less hands on projects in master courses. There are some courses which can be put into electives
It was a beautiful experience and steep learning curve. It helped me a lot have a lateral thinking in Data related tasks. I can help any person or company to get insights about data and suggest them easiest way to visualize the data.

- RWTH Aachen is one the best ranked universities for mechanical engineering, and it was a no-brainer to choose it and my course once i received the opportunity! Although my course wasn't free, it was quite affordable compared to other universities in Europe and the United States. As previously mentioned, the amount of research opportunities are high and I was able to choose a track that reflected my interests. Finally, once you know the German language, the job market is also good, and studying in RWTH Aachen will give you an additional boost!
- There was a plethora of student assistant and research opportunities, available at any field you are interested in. The timings were flexible and there was no restriction on the total duration of the study. The university professors were very supportive and are willing to help you with any problems with the subject.
Dislikes
- The examinations were extremely hard, and some went beyond challenging! It needs to be noted that studying in a technical university will take away most of your time, leaving you less for your personal stuff (when compared to FH universities). The university was also spread across the city, unlike those that are bounded within a campus. This sometimes resulted in annoying transport between the classes.
My overall experience at RWTH Aachen has been nothing short of exceptional!! The research opportunities, amazing faculty, and a diverse international community enriched my academic journey. No to mention the support from the student bodies during the difficult times, especially the pandemic. In a nutshell, my time there has been transformative, and I am grateful for the invaluable experiences and friendships I've gained.

- I chose to pursue my Masters in Germany because of its reputation in having the highest standards of Engineering and Science. The education is Germany is nearly free with zero tuition fees, thus an economic vantage to pursue higher education here. Being one of the TU9 Universities, RWTH Aachen receives a lot of Federal funding, thus making it a good research hub.
- Also, RWTH Aachen has the reputation of providing a very international environment comparatively. Also, the vast alumni base of RWTH Aachen is something one can tap to build a good network. All in all, these were reasons enough to choose RWTH Aachen as my destination pursue my master’s studies.
- RWTH Aachen, situated in western part of Germany, is one of the TU9 Universities. The University provides an international environment to support your interpersonal growth in parallel with your education. The different Chairs at the University provides with a plethora of opportunities to pursue different research avenues and gain experiences that could help an individual to learn relevant Engineering skills.
Dislikes
- There is not much to dislike about the University. Although, the genuine impression on the education system of Germany is that it requires some effort to complete your degree. The subjects are taught in great details. Being a TU (Technical University), the courses taught here are research oriented. The course structure is very vast in both length and breadth.
- So, one needs to put in genuine efforts to understand the concepts to clear the subjects. Also, there might be some pre-requisite course from the bachelor’s that one needs to take to be eligible for their thesis work. This can be a bit overwhelming as they are bachelor level courses and seems to be a bit tougher.
The overall experience at RWTH Aachen was very enriching and fulfilling. My expectations with respect to the course contents were met. I was able to experience different cultures and make new friends from different parts of the world. I was able to fill my knowledge gaps and expand my knowledge base during my master’s journey. I was also able to grow my professional network. All in all, the experience has shaped me into a better and efficient engineer.
