Student accommodation, flats and rooms for rent in Aachen

This city is the westernmost city in the country, located on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. It is part of the North Rhine-Westphalia region and was very important in history, being the preferred city of Charlemagne to reside and the coronation place of the German kings.

It is a relatively small university city as it receives many German and international students every year. For this reason, the university environment is very active, since the students are the ones who set the pace of life in the city.

Student accommodation in Aachen

There are several areas you can choose to live in Aachen. The city is mainly divided into three areas, divided by rings. From the inside out there in the centre, zone 2 and the rest of the city in the surroundings. We inform you of the most chosen neighbourhoods by international students to live in:

Apartments for rent in the centre of Aachen

Most students choose the second ring of the centre to live in since the cost of rent for the first ( where the historic centre is) is usually very high. In the second ring, there are also many shops, restaurants, bars, squares, museums and other places frequented by young people.

Apartments in Burtscheid

This area is outside the second ring road, to the east. It used to be inhabited by Celts and Romans, so it has a lot of history. From here you will be able to access several squares and parks, as well as the central train station of Aachen.

Rooms for rent in Aachen West

Aachen West is the area that stretches to the west of the centre of Aachen. Here you can find the main campus of the university, Campus Mitte. This area is also close to Pontstrastreetße, one of the busiest for students to go to restaurants, bars, shops, etc.

Erasmus accommodation near Aachen Technical University (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen - RWTH)

This prestigious university is said to be one of the best in terms of several of the engineering faculties. It is a technical institution (Hochschule). Classes for the same career usually take place in different buildings that may be located in different areas of the city. Most of the buildings are in the centre, but there are some (such as the Faculties of Mathematics and Physics) that are a bit outside the city, although with good connection by bicycle or public transport. The main campus is located in Aachen West, next to the train station of the same name.

University residence in Aachen

With so many students arriving each year, it is often difficult to find a place in a residence in Aachen. There are students from previous years who recommend filling in the relevant forms for several residences to see if you can get a place in one of them because there are usually waiting lists. For this reason, many young people prefer to rent rooms in shared flats, since the procedures are simpler.
