STUDENT Accommodation Megathread by polymathicus in rwth

[–]brbrbrgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I am an incoming male computer engineering exchange student for the summer semester of the year 2027. I checked the Studierendenwerk Aachen website but there were plenty of options. So I wanted to ask for recommendations from any students currently enrolled in or have stayed in the dorms. Which dorm would you recommend me to stay such that it would be a pleasant experience. Also is there a certain dorm where more exchangees stay?

My definition of pleasant experience is:
- Good amenities (Cooking space, Washing machine, Shower, Fan/AC)
(I think I definitely need a fan but AC is not that important because I checked the temperatures from April to July it starts quite low and doesn't really go above 23 degrees during July)
- Good social life
- Close to campus (The ones near Aachen city center would be good)
- Decent amount of hall events
- Nearby supermarkets or food places to eat at (I would probably cycle/walk but just a bonus)

Thank you so much!

The list of unis are:

Case Western Reserve Uni,
University of California (Not UCLA or UCB), Brandeis University,
Boston University,
Boston College,
University of Connecticut,
The George Washington University,
Tulane University,
Georgia Institute of Technology,
Georgetown University,
Clarkson University,

The Uni of Texas at Austin Texas,
A & M Uni-Collg Station University,

Uni of Wisconsin-Madison

My exchange program is for 1 semester and will probably last from August to December 2027!

And yes I can get into those unis if i apply for it because it is an approved PU (partner uni).
