A place where your hard work is paid off.
Tips: There is no tuition fee. Students get high quality education with excellent research facilities, almost free of cost. The university is top notch. One needs to put in effort in studies. It is advised to study regularly. It is advised to learn German during studies to improve one's chances of finding a job in Germany after the studies.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is excellent. The city has a large number of buses running from 5 AM to 1 AM. Their live timings can be tracked using apps such as Naveo and DB Navigator. Public transportation is cheap. With 65 euros Deutschlandticket, one can travel on any bus within the city.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are very few in number. They are also quite expensive. Generally students cook their food themselves. Occasionally, I used to eat outside in Indian restaurants. There are many other options available as well - Turkish, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese etc.

I studied at RWTH Aachen, Germany, and it was an enlightening, humbling and pleasant experience.
Tips: Be respectful to everyone. Learn the language and culture. Have to be ready to put in all the effort required to provide for yourself including part time jobs and money-saving ideas. Do not take exams lightly. Building a rapport with the lecturers and staff is not really necessary but encouraged depending on the subject. Be on the lookout for skill-building part time jobs. Experience specific to jobs is highly valued and preferred. Transferable skills are rarely an advantage.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): There is a chance of a PR after 5-8 years of employment. For people interested in getting it earlier there might be opportunities but I am not sure about it. If not for the Indian law regarding dual citizenship, I could see myself moving to Germany.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are no placement opportunities from the universities. Students obtain every job by applying themselves, attending job fair, and visiting a company website. The university contribution to jobs is the education they provide. I gave it a 3-star rating only to highlight that it is 100% based on the student securing a job for themselves. The student must apply for a job-seeker visa after completing the studies. It is 100% granted, but the student has to provide intent and proof of funds for atleast 3-6 months post study completion.

A challenging and rewarding experience at RWTH in Germany.
Tips: RWTH is academically demanding and requires good time management and self-discipline. Students should also arrange accommodation early. The transition was smooth but I experienced a cultural shift in punctuality, direct communication, and academic independence. It helped me become more organized and self-reliant. I did not receive a scholarship and managed expenses through part-time work. I am satisfied with the university's academic quality, my course structure and the experience of living in Germany.
Likes (Safety): Crime levels in Aachen are generally low and students can feel secure, especially when staying connected with friends and being aware of their surroundings. Additionally, the city police and local authorities are friendly and supportive towards students. Any complaints or concerns are usually addressed promptly, which adds to the overall sense of safety.
Dislikes (Part time work): RWTH is a large university with high student intake, which makes on-campus and off-campus jobs quite competitive and sometimes limited. However the 20-hour-per-week work limit during the semester allows students to balance work and academics effectively. Additionally, the current minimum wage of 13.9 per hour, with some employers paying more, ensures that the students can still earn a reasonable income.

Absolutely amazing campus for networking, learning and development.
Tips: Be prepared to network more and enhance your communication skills. Always look out for extracurricular and work student opportunities. Be prepared for campus life and the German way of living. Be prepared for the German job market, mainly in professional skills and the German language.
Likes (Safety): Aachen itself is a nice place to live especially for providing a safe environment. The college is spread across the entire city, even then I have never faced any unsafe situation. Student dorms are also very nice with good student groups. The Intac Academy also has a support group which can be reached easily.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee is not justified compared to the colleges that are providing similar courses with zero tuition fees, as in Germany, as per my experience, the college name doesn't matter to get jobs. And in the same college, people are studying Bachelors for free.
