Many of the services provided by the Studierendenwerk will accompany you during your studies at the University of Kassel: the dining halls (Mensas), student housing, CampusClub... The University takes care of your classes, the library, and your studies. However, we know that going to class and learning are not the only things that matter.

Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us or see us during our office hours!! Remember: We support every student at the University of Kassel - no matter where you are from. Good luck, have fun, and come see us!!!

Are you hungry?

No matter where you are on the university’s campus, there is a Studierendenwerk cafeteria or dining hall nearby! In all of the dining halls, you can choose from up to 3 different dishes and a number of different side dishes. For the student price, you can pick one dish plus 2 side dishes. Because your dietary preferences are taken into consideration, we offer vegetarian or vegan, non-dairy, organic, as well as religious-friendly options. If you don’t see something that fits your dietary needs, just ask!

No time to eat in the dining hall between classes? No problem! The Studierendenwerk’s cafeterias have sandwiches, snacks and drinks that you can grab when you are in a hurry.

Do you need advice?

A new beginning is always tough! The first few days in Kassel may be very stressful and exhausting. Everything is new and different: the environment, the people, the language. But don't worry: After a few weeks you will feel a lot more comfortable! You will make new friends and get used to the German way of life. However, if you are still feeling homesick, have trouble adjusting to life in Kassel, or just need to talk, our psychological services (PBS) is here to help you.
A new environment can be unsettling, perhaps you feel lonely and disoriented, miss your family and friends at home. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but shows courage. Take advantage of our support and talk to our advisors about your situation. Together we can discuss your problem and find a solution. Have confidence in us and stop by for a nonbinding first consultation.

Our Social Advisory Service  offers a wide-range of advice for German and international students. They can give you information regarding financing your studies, scholarships, university resources, and self-help groups. They can also help and support you in financial or personal crisis situations. International students who come to Kassel with their family might even be eligible for government aid, so it is definitely worthwhile to meet with one of the advisors. Concetta Mugavero and Mike Pillardy can just as well give you a number of tips on studying with children, where to find a daycare, etc. You can reach them during their office hours or via email to sozialberatung((at))studierendenwerk.uni-kassel.de
 

The Studierendenwerk also offers legal advising or students at the University of Kassel, free of charge. Legal advising is available on Wednesdays all year long, both during the semester and semester breaks. Please ask for Mr. Schramm. For more information see  here


Our  Psychological Services  staff provide advising and counselling on an appointment or "walk-in" basis. We speak both English and German, and we are bound to observe confidentiality.

Do you want to meet new people?

Every monday, intercultural events take place at CampusClub at Max Kade Haus, campus Holländischer Platz, right next to the LEO.
Students from all over the world come together here to hang out, talk and celebrate. Enjoy with other students a semester full of cultural events and parties right on Campus.
