Is there anything that keeps me from the work stress?

In general the work load is never too bad to get majorly stressed, yet during finals you can easily feel like everything is getting too much for you to handle. But exactly for that the college offices came up with the idea of cheer ups. What is a cheer up? They are special nights during exam time where the college office shows movies, organize game nights and provide us with cookies, cake, pizza, drinks to cheer you up and distract you a bit from your stress.

What do you do on a Saturday night when you get bored and there is no party going on?

Normally there is always some sort of party going on on campus, yet it can happen that it is Saturday night and you have nothing to do. No reason to freak out. You could always go downtown but there are also various opportunities avalaible on campus. For example you and your friends could get some games from the college office and just book the C3 multimedia room, where you can screen movies on a big scale with an awesome sound system! The Multimedia room is also very popular among the sports fans as the room can be used to screen any game to watch with your friends.

I want to have a party, what can I do?

You feel like partying? Whether for your birthday or no special reason parties are always good. The most popular option is to rent the Blue Lounge. The Blue Lounge is a room in the SAC, which undergraduates can use for various occasions. Of course you have to provide your own drinks, food and music. Just fill in the necessary forms and the party can get started.

What is there to do on a sunny day?

Although it doesn’t look like it Bremen can have its really nice sunny days during spring and summer. You can go and play sports, such as beach volleyball on our own field, play tennis, rugby or football. A very popular option as well is to have a BBQ. Each college has its own BBQ facilities and after applying for it you can get started and it is a nice alternative to the Aramark food routine.

What can I do during my free time on campus?

Apart from using the sport facilities such as tennis , volleyball or the nearby swimming pool, you can join one of the many clubs the university has to offer.
