Students do not share rooms, as is common in American dorms. Instead, students receive individual rooms in a co-ed dorm and share specific facilities, such as kitchens, bathroom and shower areas, and student-run bars/cafes/recreation or fitness areas located within the dorm.
American-style “school spirit” is absent from German universities. A glance at a German university will not render images of students strolling to class clad in the colors or ensigns of the “home team” or in sweatshirts emblazoned with the university logo. There is one small university shop in the Service center of the administration building where students can purchase clothing or other regalia university insignia. This is not to say that parents and students do not feel a measure of pride in their affiliation with the university, particularly if it is prestigious; it is simply to emphasize that it is not advertised.
Mensas are not located in the dorms but next to the university. Mensas offer inexpensive, healthy and filling meals. Cafeterias are located near university facilities or dormitories. Be sure to furnish a student ID card to receive a discounted price.
There is no “24/7” service provided at German universities. In the most cases, opening hours are weekdays from 8AM to 5PM, but beyond these times you will be very unlikely to reach any employees, offices or institutions at the university. Also, in contrast to many universities outside of Germany, there is no special security service provided for the University area, except one unarmed guard at the main building of the Leibniz University.
