Insider tip: Use the easy-to-use VRM app to find out about journey times. Here you can not only find out reliable travel times, but also delays!
Car sharing
If you do need a car, book-n-drive offers you a wide selection of vehicles that you can easily rent after registering!
If you have to travel a long distance by car to the university or college, it is also worthwhile to form carpools!
University Music
Are you enthusiastic about music, do you like singing in a choir or would you like to play in an orchestra? Then university music is just the thing for you! Take a look at the website!
General University Sports (AHS)
The general university sports programme offers you a range of sports activities at a reasonable price! Here you'll find a wide range of courses, from online yoga classes to football and tennis, where you can not only do sports but also get to know your fellow students. Koblenz also offers a wide range of other sports clubs outside the AHS!
Catholic and Protestant student community
Both the Catholic and Protestant student communities help many students to find their first connection. Both organise projects, church services and events and offer a place of refuge. You will always find a sympathetic ear here!
International Office Buddy Programme
The Buddy Programme helps international guest and full-time students find their way around the university. Every "international" is assigned a "buddy" who helps them make contacts, answers their questions and is their first point of contact. This creates a lively intercultural exchange and you quickly get to know many new people from different cultures!
Student participation
Every student has the right to participate in decisions made by the university or college. There are a number of student representatives in which you can get involved:
StuPa - Student Parliament
Once a year, all students have the opportunity to elect the student parliament. As a legislative body, it decides on the basic rules of the game, decides on the budget (every student pays a certain contribution per semester) and elects the AStA.
Asta - General Student Committee
The General Student Committee is the executive body of the student body. It is made up of departments with various tasks, the orientation of which is determined by the StuPa. The members of the AStA work on a voluntary basis and are responsible for many activities and events on campus.
In addition to fun and information events, the AStA is in close contact with the student councils and the university administration. In this way, work is constantly being done to improve the conditions of study.
Student council
The students of a degree programme or subject form a so-called department. They elect a departmental student council (FSV), which represents the interests of their department to the lecturers and the AStA. The members of the FSV also work on a voluntary basis.

More insider tips:
Stattstrand - not far from the university is the Stattstrand. Here you can make yourself comfortable with holiday flair on the Moselle. Especially in summer, this is a great place to unwind.
