Freshman Orientation


Der Start ins Studium ist für viele eine große und verwirrende Umstellung. Wie komme ich an meinen Stundenplan? Was für Kurse habe ich überhaupt? Und was zum Teufel ist ein TRE/PHYS/E? Um all diese Fragen zu beantworten und Kontakte für zukünftige Fragen zu knüpfen, organisieren die Fachschaftsräte (FSRe) der Universität jedes Jahr die sogenannte Erstsemestereinführung, kurz ESE. In diesen zwei Wochen finden jeden Tag Veranstaltungen statt, bei denen ihr die Uni, die Stadt, eure Kommilitone*innen und den Fachschaftsrat kennenlernen und vor allem all eure brennenden Fragen stellen könnt. Die Veranstaltungen selbst sind sehr unterschiedlich, von Grillen an der Elbe, über Spieleabende bis zu Touren durch die Neustadtkneipen und Studiclubs der Stadt ist alles dabei. Selbst wenn du einfach nur gerne läufst und Bier trinkst, gibt es eine Veranstaltung für dich. Also kommt gerne vorbei, wir freuen uns auf euch!

Barbeque ahead of the ESE

Time from 18:00

Ort: Elbwiesen bei der Marienbrücke (51.061288, 13.734044)

Self catering barbecue at the Elbe river

The freshman orientation weeks (ESE) traditionally begin with a cozy barbecue on the Elbe River. This is your first opportunity to get to know your fellow students and the student council in an informal atmosphere. Self Catering is the order of the day, so be sure to bring your own barbecue, dishes and drinks (we will provide a basic supply of the latter). Otherwise, of course, a picnic blanket and things like card games, spike ball, etc. are worth bringing. Also, be prepared for it to get chilly, so bring warm clothes. 
We are looking forward to seeing you.

Neustadt Pub Tour

Time 19:30

Meeting place: Bus Stop Albertplatz

Studying without bars is like jogging without underwear. You can do it, but it's not pleasant. That's why we want to use the "Pub Tour" ("Kneipentour") to show you the nicest Bars in the Neustadt while you get to know your fellow students. You will be divided into several small groups, which will be led by 2 students from higher semesters. We have a colorful selection of tours, where there is something for everyone. Each group has a different motto: Sports tour, Beer tour, Cocktail tour, Retro tour and a "Späti" (open late store) tour.


You can sign up for the tours from the beginning of the barbeque on monday 25.09. on Opal. 

The link will be available here.

Then this event is perfect for you. We will walk until the beer cases are empty, und aus Sternburg Sterne werden, die über euren Köpfen schweben.

Campus-Rally

Time 14:00

Meeting place: Recknagel building entrance D

At the beginning of your studies, it is not always very clear where everything is exactly on campus and which important places you should know. So for you to get to know the campus a little, there is the Campusrallye, where you will solve riddles in groups to find and get to know the most important buildings on the campus. Above all, you will learn whether and why the respective buildings are important for your studies. It is best to bring a good mood and a bag for goodies. The best team can also win a small prize. 

Student Club tour

Time 19:00

Meeting place: Recknagel building entrance D

The Student Clubs... An important part of student culture in Dresden.
The only thing they have in common is that they are run by students. In some there is more dancing, in others more playing, enjoying the pub atmosphere or watching movies. On this evening they are all open and students from different disciplines are out to get to know them. We will divide you into small groups and then you can explore the clubs together with 2 older supervisors (and especially drink beer but also Fritz-Cola 😉 ).
No registration is necessary for this event, so feel free to just drop by. However, it's best to be on time so you can join a cool group.

FRESH

Time ab 10:00

Ort: Club Hängemathe

Party - Talk - Eat - Play - HäMa (works way better in german). The name actually reveals everything that will happen. We want to spend a whole day together on the meadow behind the HängeMathe and in the club itself lying around, cooking, eating and in between doing whatever comes to mind. So far that is: frisbee, spikeball, table tennis, volleyball, viking chess, flunkyball, beer cap flinging, ... As you see, boredom is very unlikely. Additionaly we will invite some older students , because connecting with them can be very helpful, and most of all fun.

We will organize the lunch materials and cook it together. And you can eat your fill (while supplies last). In the evening we will hold a barbeque, for this, bring what you want to eat. We probably will have some tasty things as well. In the Afternoon we will stream the formal matriculation ceremonysomehow; Maybe during this, there will be some nice waffles

So let's spend a full day together before the next day's faculty induction awaits you. You can find more info about it at: Studienstart Physik

Also there is free coffee, tea, cakes and snacks,as well as places to sit and play games. So feel free to join us, enjoy the sun and get to talk with your fellow students.
