“Overall studies environment”

Salman S

Germany,
Urban and Regional Planning, 2023

Overall

learning and friendly environment. Discussions mostly based on problems and their solutions keeping in view the diversity of students and their ideas.

Careers

I did not interact with career officer.

Pros

actively engaging students and listen to their problems either related to studies or extra curricular activities.

Cons

The university is not at one place rather it has multiple building blocks spread in whole city Aachen, due to which students and professors have to travel from one place to another to attend or deliver lectures. Although connections for commute are good

Personal comments

The university found me this cheap accomodation offer. Leaving in an apartment-share community was what I wished for. Compared to friends in Aachen, my place may be in a shaby quarter but still good, cheap and not too far from the city center.

Course recommendations

It's quite hard to compose a perfect timetable without lectures collapsing. Your learning agreement might have to be be reviewed afterwards.

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

The liberty of choosing any course is disturbing and for a foreigner quite hard to handle at the beginning. A little bit more guidance at the beginning of each semester for foreign students would be welcome.

My opinion of the university assessment

I didn't experience any financial surprises. I had acurate information. I don't have any specific cost-saving tips. There were student discounts and weekend tickets for regional trains for budget travelling when I was there.
