Campus Life
- Ruhr University Bochum has 1 main campus and some small departments, like sport and fitness, on a nearby campus.
- The library is centralized and huge. Sports facilities are huge, with nearly all types of sports played on a regular basis.
- There is a summer fest every year on the campus during June and July. Fitness studio, volleyball, and hockey are played daily professionally.
Accommodation
- Immoscout24 was the best option for finding accommodation. If you are looking for shared apartments, wg-gesucht is another great option. Typically, you receive responses at a ratio of 1:10, meaning 10 applications 1 response for viewing since the competition is significant.
- But even after rent, electricity internet heating charges are generally to be paid separately unless mentioned in the contract.
Likes
- I liked the structure of my course as it has a lot of lab rotations and practical work along with the lectures.
- "The course structure and the international team. They give you detailed information about the university and how everything works. They also had excursions at the start of the semester. The cafeteria at the university has a lot of vegan and vegetarian options for people who don’t consume meat."
Dislikes
- "Sometimes certain meetings and classes is only in German and I feel it is not fair for the international students studying at the university. It would be nice if there was an English version so that people who are interested can take a part in it. "
Campus Life
The infrastructure of the university is very nice but a bit old aa the university is very old. The wifi, research facilities and library is very nice. They also offer various sport courses to students and also have a big gym. The students can use all these facilities for a very affordable price. There are always some events taking place on the campus and the university has an instagram page where you can get information about all the events and other activities.
Accommodation
I live with my family so I do not pay for accommodation separately. But there are various affordable student accommodations available near the campus. The university has a special group that handles and answers any questions regarding the accommodation and financial assistance.
