What is the "Arrival-Service"?

Arrival-Service means:

We organize the key of your room in the dormitory.
A student gives a personal and warm welcome to you.
We help with all things you need to organize, when you move in (pay deposit, sign contract, ...).
You get a first orientation in the dormitory and the surrounding area.
in Kiel:
- A student will pick you up from the central station, bus station or port and will bring you to the dormitory by car.
- You can buy bedlinen for 10,-€ (pillow, blanket, bed sheet, douvet cover). Please note: The rooms in our dormitories do not have any of these things.

The Arrival-Service is free of charge.

Please notice: Due to the spread of the coronavirus, registrations for the arrival-service are no longer possible.
