MAIL 1: Your Exchange Semester in Dresden

Hi,

we have been informed by the HTW Dresden that you are starting your time in Dresden as an international student this fall.

First of all: Good choice! You have picked an amazingly vibrant city and school in an astonishing and most beautiful region of Germany.

As Faranto e.V., the ERASMUS and International Student Initiative here at HTW Dresden, our mission is to make your arrival, stay and experience here at the HTW and in Dresden itself as easy and memorable as possible. For that purpose we wanted to give you a short heads up what we have in stock for you.

In close cooperation with the "Akademische Auslandsamt" of HTW Dresden we have prepared an orientation week, which hopefully will make it easier for you to adjust to life here in Dresden and for us to lend you a helping hand with all the organisational stuff.

Just to name a few of the important things we already have set up for you:

First of all we offer a pickup-service from all the mayor hubs here in Dresden (Train Stations, Airport, Bus Terminals etc.). A representative of Faranto will greet you wherever you arrive and show you safely to your "Wohnheim" (student hall), which most of you will probably already have organised or are in the midst of organising.

To arrange pick-up please register using the following Link:

Then within the orientation week we have already organised to get you registered with the City of Dresden (mandatory in Germany), get you signed up with your personal free german bank account, show you around the HTW with all the important things and offices you need to be aware of and also have secured mandatory student health insurance for all of you not originating from within the European Union.

That way you'll have all that 'nasty' stuff out of the way and are all set up to kickstart your life in Dresden.

Furthermore there will be a lot of other stuff going on within your orientation week and throughout your whole stay at HTW Dresden. A city ralley of Dresden to show you the perks of were you live, bowling, hiking tours, pub crawls, parties etc. - just to give you an idea.

We here at Faranto e.V. are looking forward to meeting you very soon.

In the meantime - If you have any questions do not hesitate to write an email to orientation.week@faranto.de.

We will be in touch again about the pick up service some time soon.

International Greetings,

Philipp, Markus, Anni and Danny
