Housing
You will be living in single apartments in one of our student halls. Sheet and bedlinen will be there, but please bring along your own towels. The dormitories are not directly located on campus – you have to plan approx. 20 min. to get to class. We will show you how the local transportation system works here and print out the tram schedules for all of you.
Please note that due to data security reasons we do NOT have Wi-Fi in our residence halls. We therefore recommend you to bring an Ethernet cable in order to connect your computer to the internet. Of course you can also buy it here! There will be time for a little shopping tour to get cables if you cannot bring one on Monday, July 20th 2015. For your time in class and on the whole campus you will receive a university Wi-Fi access.
