RWTH Aachen University - The largest public university in Germany.
Tips: I recommend that all students learn German before coming to RWTH Aachen University. At least an A2 level is required. The study-life balance here is awesome. We get sufficient time to study and have fun. We get a lot of opportunities to participate and learn from various activities. The scope of learning in fun is highly valuable here. The diverse culture helps us to understand international customs and settings. Research the curriculum and try to determine what job opportunities are available after graduation. And finally, bring all the necessary items with you from India, as they are quite expensive here.
Dislikes (Value for money): RWTH Aachen University is the largest public university in Europe, with a QS world ranking of 99. It has highly reputed faculty members, and its degree is considered highly valuable. The opportunity to find a job or research work is quite easy here.

RWTH Aachen University is great with good learning environment and supportive faculty.
Tips: My experience at RWTH Aachen University has been very positive. The professors and tutors are highly professional, and the university offers a wide range of opportunities for students who want to work as a HiWi, do a research project, or write a master's thesis. The city of Aachen is also very pleasant, and students have the opportunity to learn about different cultures.

4.3
College is demanding but once you put in your 100 percent it is really rewarding.
Tips: For students coming from India, it could seem very intimidating at first because of the difference in the education system. Personally, I had to work hard during the first 6 months of my Master's just to get on equal footing as some other students in the course. But once you start learning it becomes easier and more fun than anything that you have experienced so far. I did not have any scholarships as I did not have any tuition fees. I am very satisfied with the university and the course as well as Germany. It gave me a new perspective on the education system and I liked it a lot.
Likes (Value for money): I studied in a course that had zero tuition fees. For me, it was an excellent value for money. For some other courses where the tuition fees were introduced, it is still pretty low compared to the universities in the USA and the UK. So I think for them as well it was a good value for money.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Since Aachen is a small city, there are not many international (especially good Indian) food options available. For a few restaurants there, the pricing would be around 15 Euros per person per meal. Since this could be costly if you eat outside every day, most of the students cook at home.

RWTH Aachen University is one of the best choice if you choose masters in Germany.
Tips: Students should check the selection criteria for the scholarships before joining the university. Aachen is one of the best cities in Germany for international students. The course is difficult and is mostly theoretical but you also have an internship component where one has a mandatory internship for at least 6 months. So, overall it is a well-balanced course.

Positive, eye-opening and broadened my horizons.
Tips: Students should make a diverse group of friends or acquaintances. Public transportation is great so explore new hobbies and go outside your comfort zone. Prioritize what you want to focus on, whether it is studies, career, fitness etc. You have a finite amount of time and must treat it with value.

Amazing student life, good opportunities for part time.
Tips: Students should know that they need to manage their time themselves. There is no spoon-feeding and also, don't go into tiring part-time jobs, rather find a part-time job at the university that will help build your CV and leave you with enough energy to focus on your studies as well. There are many opportunities at the university for part-time so try to choose wisely.
Likes (Student Life): There are a lot of opportunities for Indian students. The Indian community in Aachen is the best in Germany. There are many events ranging from music to drama to dance to sports. There are a lot of international clubs and communities too.
