Location
KaWo 1 is located near various RWTH buildings in the west of Aachen.
In about fifteen minutes by foot, you can easily reach the Informatics Center, the University sports Center, the Westbahnhof and the auditorium building C.A.R.L.. In just a few minutes on foot you reach the Campus Melaten and thus many institutes.
Via two bus stops, “Hörn Kastanienweg” and “Hörn Brücke”, KaWo 1 is excellently linked to the bus network of the city. The way to the city center (Ponttor) is a ten minute ride by bus and every other mentioned destination can be reached within five minutes. Even the ride to the University hospital (UKA) in the far west of the city only takes about ten minutes.
Therefore, the three main canteens of the RWTH (the Mensa academica in the middle Campus, the Mensa Vita in Melaten and the canteen of the Informatics Center) are easily reached in a few minutes.
Parking spaces next to the dormitory can be rented at the Studierendenwerk Aachen.
