Hello to you all,

the begin of the semester here in Dresden is coming closer and some of you are already getting here and starting to settle in.

As has been tradition we have started a Facebook group for you to serve as your main communication hub with each other and us Farantos.

To join that group please follow the link below:

As has come to our attention, some of you were unable to secure accommodations with the "Studentenwerk" in one of the student dormitories. This happens from time to time as sometimes by popular demand spaces can fill up pretty quick.

For those of you that still haven't found anywhere to live yet, here - apart from the waiting list of the Studentenwerk itself -  a few recommendations as to where to look alternatively:

www.wg-gesucht.de (flat-/house share site)

www.immoscout24.de (mainly single apartments, some flat shares)

www.cybersax.de (go to "plaza" and then to "Biete Wohnung" - general classifieds)

https://www.facebook.com/groups/306157412832699/  (Flat share Facebook Group for "ALL" Dresden Students - even though it just says TU in the title)

www.rooming.eu (brand new website, but might still be good)

In case some of you that HAVE a spot at a "Wohnheim" (student dorm) are coming in outside the hours of operation of the Studentenwerk (http://www.studentenwerk-dresden.de/english/wohnen/sprechzeiten.html), you have to organize a place to stay for yourselfs until the Studentenwerk opens again.

Unfortunately due to operating procedure of the Studentenwerk, Faranto is unable to offer an advance key pick-up service at this time.

A good and cheap place to stay close to the central train station, Studentenwerk and HTW ist the A&O Hostel- which is located right off campus. Link: http://www.aohostels.com/en/dresden/

If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask at orientation.week@faranto.de.

We hope all of you are as excited for the new semester as we are and hope to be seeing all of you soon.

Regards from Dresden,

Danny
