First semester checklist

A warm welcome to all first-year students! To help you get off to a good start in your studies, we’ve put together a checklist for you. Most importantly: We’re always here for you - whether you’re looking for a place to live, applying for BAföG, looking for a snack, or seeking free counselling!
 

  • Looking for a place to live!
    Apply early for a room in one of our dormitories. Demand is high, depending on the location!
     
  • Apply for BAföG!
    Submit your initial application right after you enroll - even if you're unsure.
     
  • Checkout our canteens and cafeterias!
    Coffee to wake you up, check the menu, discover your favorite canteen, and 24/7 snack and drink vending machines.
     
  • Take advantage of our restaurant's student discounts!
    With your student ID, you pay less. You can add credit at the counters, Info-Points, or via Autoload.
     
  • Come to our counselling!
    If you have questions about money, housing, or legal issues, or if you're dealing with stress or personal problems: You're not alone! Our counseling teams are here to help you - confidentially and free of charge.
     
  • Make a note of important places to go!
    Save the contact information for the Info-Points, the BAföG team, and the janitor.
     
  • Seek for help by time!
    Whether you're stressed about applications, rent, or exams: Reach out to us early!
