The student residence Turmstraße 1 is part of the Studierendenwerks Aachen AöR (Student service association in Aachen). It’s in the center of the RWTH Aachen University, and it’s located right in the middle of the pulse of the students’ life. Important locations e.g. the Audimax (the main lecture hall), the Academica canteen, or Ponttor are all in our 200m radius. In our basement you can find the dorm’s own Bar Symposion, in which you can get good beer for a fair price, and good music to wind down the university stress. The residence is ideal for new students in Aachen, and it creates a good basis for a successful begin in studying.
