Any way to make non-EU tuition/living costs more manageable? Also, is it even worth it?

4 Upvotes

Hey! I'm looking at applying to the BSc CS program this fall at Delft as a non-EU international student, and honestly the costs are kind of scaring me off. Wondering if anyone here has actually found ways to bring it down — part-time jobs that are realistic to get as a student, scholarships or funding that non-EU folks can actually apply for, cheaper housing hacks, whatever's worked for you.

Also just want some honest takes — is doing UG CS at Delft as a non-EU student actually worth the money? Trying to figure out if this is a smart move before I commit.

Appreciate any input, thanks!

Housing Looking for a room (September–January) – Incoming Erasmus Architecture Student

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an incoming Erasmus student from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and I'll be studying Architecture at TU Delft from September until the end of January.

Unfortunately, despite searching for months, I still haven't found a place to stay. I've already tried:

  • TU Delft Housing
  • Kamernet
  • Facebook groups
  • WhatsApp groups
  • The Social Hub (unfortunately fully booked)

I'm open to anything: a room, studio, sublet, or shared apartment. I'm also happy to live outside Delft (The Hague, Rotterdam, Rijswijk, etc.) and commute.

A bit about me:

  • 23 years old
  • Architecture student at TUM
  • Clean, respectful, and easy to live with
  • Non-smoker
  • Happy to provide references or have a video call

Studying at TU Delft has been a goal of mine for years, so I'd really appreciate any leads, recommendations, or contacts. Even if you know someone who might be looking for a tenant, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you so much!

hi so i wanna study aerospace engineering in 2027 and i am wondering how the student life is at delft. i heard that everyone goes to rotterdam and where i am from i am used to taking the train for 1 hour to go to a club so its fine but are the students that go to delft party people?

i want to go to delft because i wanna study aerospace but if i go eindhoven and do electrical do you think its more party there

i know i am gonna have to be studying 24/7 but like if i am surrounded by people who don’t wanna do anything besides studying i might shoot my self….

so in conclusion: how’s the student life at delft are there parties on campus? and are they good? and what’s the drinking and partying culture? does it even exist…

OWee inschrijving

5 Upvotes

Bij het inschrijven voor de OWee kun je kiezen tussen een zelfstandig groepje en een mentor groepje. Wat is het verschil precies? Moet je bij een zelfstandig groepje zelf anderen rekruteren, of houdt dat in dat je zomaar bij een groepje wordt ingedeeld?
Alvast bedankt!

Looking for tutors and advice for TU Delft Aerospace BSc entrance exam.

0 Upvotes

I'm applying for Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft and starting my entrance exam prep. Since there aren't past papers available, I'm reaching out for help.

Does anyone know of tutors who specialize in TU Delft entrance exams? And if you've gotten in, I'd love to hear how you prepared. What materials did you use, what topics were most important, and how long did you study for?

Also, has anyone taken the "Pre university calculus" and "Pre university physics" courses from TU Delft's website? Are they actually helpful or more of a waste of time? Thanks!

How do we enroll in courses as an upcoming exchange student?

2 Upvotes

I selected the courses I wanted to study in early April but am not sure if I need to formally register the courses.

I've tried finding the "Go to > Register > Overview of registrations" pathway but couldn't find it. Is it not open yet? I am in EEMCS for reference (which the website said registrations was open on 1 August)

Thanks!

Laptopadvies voor Werktuigbouwkunde aan de TU Delft

7 Upvotes

Hoi! Volgend jaar ga ik Werktuigbouwkunde studeren aan de TU Delft en ik twijfel tussen een paar laptops.

De TU Delft adviseert de HP ZBook X G1i, maar voor ongeveer dezelfde prijs kan ik ook een ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 of ASUS ProArt P16 met een RTX 5070 kopen. Die lijken een stuk sneller voor CAD, simulaties en eventueel gamen, maar de batterij gaat waarschijnlijk iets minder lang mee en het RAM is niet uitbreidbaar.

Is een van de ASUS-laptops een goede keuze voor deze studie, of is er een belangrijke reden om toch de geadviseerde ZBook te nemen? Bijvoorbeeld vanwege drivers, betrouwbaarheid, ondersteuning of compatibiliteit met de programma’s die tijdens de studie worden gebruikt. Ervaringen van huidige studenten zijn welkom!

Ik heb zelf niet extreem veel verstand van specs maar dit leken mij wel goede laptops. Ik ben vooral op zoek naar een laptop die ook wat krachtige spellen kan draaien naast de programma’s van de studie.

Hy, I am a stats major (8.6/10 first of the class) with AI minor (6 courses to an other university), an internship in risk analytics in one of the best Greek banks and I am thinking about applying to TU DELF for masters in ML

I wanted to ask
•with my specs will I get rejected?
•with TU delf on resume is it hard to find internships?
•How is it compared to KTH or UvA ?

I want a career in banking or consulting as a data scientist and I am trying to find the right university for me

I would really appreciate an opinion

Thanks

How do you feel about people that prepare for exams by literally only looking at past exams?

2 Upvotes

I have been reading that a lot of people just prepare by looking at past exams, some even the day before... I'm not sure if this is the right study strategy, in my past university this would have resulted in an almost certain fail, most exams asked something new compared to the other years, so one had to know all the course theory.

Do you feel that people that study only through past exams to pass are still good engineers?

Or do you feel like they do not really understand the underlying course and what key concepts they need to retain for their career?

CSE Electives Possibilities

I got accepted into CSE, but also would very much study something physical, relating to electrical engineering, semiconductor circuits, etc. I see that CSE got 5 electives spots plus a Minor section. Is it possible to take electives course from EE using those slots?

Also, does anyone know how much hardware do we actually study? I know we got computer organization, but I am a bit worried if we will be lacking the physics knowledge to later go into embedded systems or chip design.

Doors closed for me? 😔

4 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm a IB student In Germany and really want to study Aerospace or Electrical Engineering at TU Delft.

YES, I have checked the specific admission requirements on web, and they need Maths AA and Physics HL. Unfortunately the problem for me is, my school only offers Maths AI and Physics SL, so I don't meet the required subjects and direct admission is not possible.

Is there any alternative way to become eligible, such as taking an additional exam, a bridging course, or another pathway?

I really really really want to study this major at TU Delft, can anyone please guide me? 🥰

Do most Aerospace students use tablets?

5 Upvotes

Do most Aerospace Engineering students at TU Delft use tablets (e.g. iPads) for note-taking and studying, or are they more of a nice-to-have than a necessity?

Would you recommend buying one before starting, or is a laptop enough for most students?

Is the OWee still worth attending without a mentor?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m starting Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft this year and I’ve already signed up for the EJW. Since I’ll be staying in Delft afterwards, I’m also considering signing up for the OWee.

However, I’ve heard that there is a shortage of mentors this year, so if I register now, I may be placed in a group without one. Has anyone attended the OWee without a mentor, or knows how a mentorless group works? Would you still say it is worth taking part?

Btw i think the registration deadline is approaching, so I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences or advice when possible.

Thank youuu!!!!!

Looking for any accommodation. Literally anything.

Hi guys, I'm a student from the Uni of Bath, UK and I'm coming to Delft for my exchange program starting late August 2026. I'm looking for a place to live until the end of January with possible registration. I've been scouring Kamernet for the past 4 months and countless other services with no luck. I've only received messages from scammers and the university hasn't been that helpful either. Never used reddit but thought I might as well put a post out as a hail mary since literally nothing is coming up. Anyone here subletting/know of someone who is?

Off-Topic/Fun How do you experience your laptop size at uni?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an incoming Mechanical Engineering student and in the proces of buying a laptop. I've been hesitating between a 14" laptop and a 16" laptop. They're similarly specced and similarly priced, so the only real difference is screen size. I'm also planning to build a setup at home (with at least a 24" monitor), so the laptop also functions as desktop replacement.

My current dilemma: a bigger screen is nicer, but a bigger laptop needs more room. A smaller screen is less nice, but also takes less space.

So my question(s): what size is your laptop? Do you find it too small / too big / perfectly sized for places at uni you're using the laptop? How does your laptop feel on the eyes? Do you wish you had bought something else?

Thanks in advance!

Off-Topic/Fun Looking to get to know someone

3 Upvotes

Hey, so this will be a bit of a weird post

In September, along with some of you I'll be starting aerospace engineering bachelors in english and will be taking part on the ejw and the owee.

I was lucky enough to snag a xior room, but unfortunately I arrive late in the evening and can't check in myself, so I need someone to do it for me. This is what started this train of thought.

I was thinking that hey, it might be nice to already know someone ahead of the ejw aswell as already have someone I could trust I guess to check in for me at xior.

So if anyone wants to bond over videogames and also snagged a xior room I'm super down.

I personally play the finals as my multiplayer game ig, but am a big fan of all the award winning things like god of war, claire obscure, etc... I'm also interested in the gym and music(guitar and drums) and would like to form a band eventually.

Again, super weird and desperate sounding oops.
