What are the most common expenses students have?

Pizza, Energy drinks (Red Bull, Cola), Snacks, Warm clothes, birthday presents for friends, etc.

Where can students go shopping?

There’re several places within 10 minutes of the university, such as Haven Höövt (mall) in Vegesack and Plus (supermarket) on Schoenebecker Strasse. Students can also go a bit further to downtown Bremen where there’re a lot of shopping areas.

Do students have any transportation costs?

No. All students receive a "semester ticket" each semester (price included in the financial package) that allows them to take all the means of transportation within Bremen area (trams, buses). They can also take regional trains from Bremen to surrounding cities such as Hamburg, Hannover, Osnabrueck, Bremerhaven, Cuxhaven, etc.

What type of activities do students pay for off campus?

Cinema, Clubbing, Uni Bremen parties, dining, Werder Bremen matches, CeBIT fair (in Hannover), etc.

  1. Hi! Great initiative, this blog. I'm just reading through some of the pages and giving comments… It's not Haven Hooft but Haven Höövt, or if you don't want to use the “ö”, you can probably write Hoovt. Then, about the transportation costs: To be honest, you should give an estimate of how much the semester ticket costs (and how many trips you should make per semester in order to make it pay off ;-). E.g. to CeBIT, where you should probably say that it's not in Bremen but in Hanover.
