I’m a first-year student – what now?

The group is for both Bachelor’s and Master’s students to help you network during Orientation Week.
Getting here
Anyone not from Oldenburg who is travelling by car should allow plenty of time to find a parking space. There are several parking options around the campus, including car parks and multi-storey car parks.
If you’re travelling to the campus by bus for the first time on Monday morning, you can use the following bus routes:
- 306 Universität
- 310 Ofen/Famila
- S35 Westerstede
- 350 Westerstede
- 324 BBS Wechloy (takes a bit longer from the city centre)
The bus stop is called ‘Uni / Campus Haarentor’. Make sure to allow a bit of extra time here too, as the buses get quite full during rush hour and especially during orientation week.
If you’re coming from further afield and travelling by train, you can use “Oldenburg-Wechloy” station. From there, it’s still about a 10-minute walk, but you’ll usually get to the uni quicker than if you catch a bus from the station.
Catering
With such a packed programme, you’re bound to get hungry at some point. We’d ask you to bring your own food. The Student council will provide snacks and drinks, but these certainly won’t keep you going all day. You’re, of course, also welcome to eat at the canteen and cafeteria – just do bear in mind the opening hours, so you don’t end up standing in front of a closed door with a rumbling stomach. Alternatively, there are Combi and Denns outlets near the campus.
General Rules
We want all participants in the orientation week to feel at home here. We therefore ask that all participants treat one another with respect. Should anyone put themselves and/or others at risk, we reserve the right to exclude them from the remaining events of the orientation week.
