Studentenwerk (Student services)

The "Studentenwerk" is a public-law institution. All students at Reutlingen University pay a Studentenwerk contribution of 61,50 EUR per semester. This goes towards funding the refectory / cafeteria and providing other services for students, including special rates on public transport (naldo Semesterticket), accommodation, financial assistance, counselling and cultural events.

The Studentenwerk in Germany cannot be compared with the type of Students' Union organisation familiar to students from the UK or the USA, which may organise a range of leisure-time events specifically for students. For more information on locally available leisure facilities, see the sections "Sport and Leisure" or "AStA" in this A-Z listing.
