Hello and welcome! My name is Sven and I'm gonna show you the campus of the
University of Hamburg today.
Right now we are at the main campus
and behind me is the main building of the University.
Sometimes your Welcome Week will take place here.
Now we have arrived at the main library of the University of Hamburg the
"Universitäts- und Staatsbibliothek". This is one of many libraries here
on campus and it's definitely the biggest one.
So if you want to study somewhere or
you just need a book for lessons or lectures then just come,
rent a book or come studying here.
Now we are at the university restaurant triangle.
Here we have three university restaurants at one spot.
To my back there's the "Mensa Campus" our campus mensa.
To my left there is a pizza place
and next to it there is another mensa you can go and eat during your study breaks
or after after studying. You can get super cheap food here.
My favorite one is definitely the pizza place,
because you can get a pizza for, I don't know, 5 Euros or something.
Here we are at the "Audimax" the largest lecture hall in Hamburg.
If you have to write an exam with a lot of students, you write it in here.
And if your exam is on the thursday, you can also watch a movie afterwards.
Because every thursday here is the University cinema.
They show mostly the newest movies on the market.
You can go with your friends and watch the movie and it's super fun.
Here we are at the university computing center.
If you have problems with the university Wi-Fi or with your Stine-account,
you can just come here and ask the friendly staff to fix it and they will for sure do it.
If you didn't bring your computer or laptop, it's no problem. You can just go inside
and sign up with your Stine-account on the university computers.
You can also use all the programms you need for studying, they are all installed.
Last but not least, if you want to print something it's all super cheap here.
You should definitely come here and print something or use the computers
This is the Abaton cinema.
It's a cinema for independent movies and a lot of movies with original audio and subtitles.
It's not only a cinema, it's also a bistro. So if you're hungry you can just go there and eat.
Afterwards you can grab a bike here from the city bikes.
They are public bikes so they're for everyone. You just need an app to use them
and you can just ride them for free for the first 30 minutes.
Here we are at the Pferdestall, called horse stable in english.
It is named like that because it used to be a horse stable.
Now we are studying here. At least you are studying here,
if you're studying sociology, political sciences, journalism or criminology.
It is one of the most beautiful buildings on campus
and it also has the most beautiful library on campus.
If you want to take a break, you can also go to the Pony-Bar.
It's right there and grab a coffe, beer or snack.
We are almost at the end of our campus tour
and one of our final destinations is the department of social economics
You can see there on the wall is a big painting and it's supposed to show
the destroyed jewish life in this quarter at Grindelhof, because this was
a big Jewish quarter and this painting shows the life here back then.
Next to the department of social economics you can study economics and
Business Administration in this building, called WiWi-Bunker.
This building is classified as a historic monument.
There are rooms without windows in this building, but it's still nice to have lectures there.
For example today it's very cold inside.
Inside the Wiwi-Bunker theres a library. It's ment for students of economic and business administration.
But you can also study there if you study another programm.
But here are mostly books for economics and business administration topics.
Last but not least, up there on the first floor is the international office.
You can find us if you just go up the stair case C located over there.
You can ask every question and just drop by if you have questions and problems.
Whatever, we will always help you.
And now let's go upstairs
So here we are at the International Office and we are looking forward to
welcome you here and we are sure that your semester here at the University of Hamburg
will be an unforgettable memory and a great time.
We'll see you here in Hamburg.
