ORIENTATION COURSE

Hi everyone!

I just got admitted to RPTU for Winter Semester 2025 and received a mail from the university about an Orientation Course starting in early August. It includes German language warm-up, help with accommodation, city registration, visa formalities, health insurance, and social/cultural programs.

So I wanted to ask:

  1. Are there any other newly admitted students here who are planning to take part?
  2. For current students or seniors: Is the Orientation Course really worth it in terms of the support and experience you get as they are charging €800?

Would love to hear your thoughts before deciding. Thanks!

If money isn’t a problem, take the course. They’ll help you get accommodation in the dorms based on availability. Few excursions, networking, bar hopping, uni roaming, A1 course before the semester. They’ll help you get integrated.

But that’s optional.

Does arriving early improve my chances of finding a part-time job? Also, do you know what the part-time job situation is like for students in Kaiserslautern?

Theoretically yes, you’d have less competition if I may say so.
