Your fellow students would also like to welcome you to Hohenheim and introduce you to university life. The three “Fachschaften” (groups of departmental student representatives) have planned a fun and sociable program for this. You can look forward to the first TMS party, a trip to the Ersti hut, a games evening, and much more. Keep an eye out for your degree program's WhatsApp group to make initial contacts and clarify questions. You can find the Fachschaft programs on their website and/or Instagram channel. They are also offering tours and informational events that you can find in the event calendar.
