The Freshmen - Jacobs University

Where can I see a movie?

The Movie Magic Club (MMC) screens movies at least two times a week. You only have to subscribe to their list at the beginning of the academic year (they will send a spam through the Jacobs University list giving you the opportunity to do this) and you will receive their e-mails saying which movies they are going to show. All their movies can be watched at the Cinema (next to College Nordmetall, behind the SAC) and they usually start around 8 pm. Another alternative is the media room in each of the Colleges. Sometimes, College Office members may screen movies for all community members. You can find more information on the website of each college. Note that these may be spontaneous and not regularized as the activities of the MMC.

Where can I party?

Locations of parties can range from the basement of the colleges, Blue Lounge and GSA Lounge to students’ rooms or The Other Side. Keep an eye out for emails to be in the loop.

Where can we have a BBQ?

There is one just in front of Krupp terrace. However, you have to first book it. You can do this by completing the form you will find at the following addresses: BBQ.

However, it is highly advisable to first read the policy for the booking: Policy

You can also book a small barbecue from your College Office if the facilities are available.

I’m bored. What can I do?

If it’s a sunny day outside you can always spend it on the lush Campus Green. The chances are, there might be some event taking place somewhere around the campus so just check your Jacobs email. You can also play tennis, basketball, or soccer on the courts in front of College 3 (if weather permits) or just gather some friends and spend some fun time in the Common Rooms playing table tennis, Foosball or pool.
