*Welcome to Freshers* This year again, we welcome hundreds of new students from India and across the world to Aachen. We hope our welcome guide to Aachen has been useful and keep working closely with both the University and the Stadt Aachen authorities in our attempts to enable a smooth transition for you. Our HomeBuddy program is working actively to try and help with initial accommodation for international students in Aachen as much as possible. Do reach out to us if you think we can be of any help, or if you'd like to say Hi :) Have a great start in Aix la Chapelle!
