Here is a short introduction to your stay at Kassel
University. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate
to contact Ms. Magura (magura@uni-kassel.de). In addition you can visit
the Kassel University website online
(www.uni-kassel.de).

2. Registration deadline: The academic year in Germany is divided in two terms (winter term: ca. Oct. 15-Febr. 15/ summer term ca. April 15-July 15). The registration deadline for the winter term is July 15th, and for the summer term January 15th.

A student can rent a room in a flat-sharing community for about 200€ a month. However, it is difficult and risky to rent private rooms without checking them out first.
