The lists are attached and brought up-to-date by the Student Union.
2.6.3 Internet
The houses have their own broadband (LAN), with access to the Internet via the Münchner Hoch-
schulnetz (MHN) (Munich Universities’ Network). The computer settings required for establishing in-
ternet connection are outlined in a separate information sheet that you will have received upon mov-
ing in.
Costs
LAN usage and administrative costs are included in the charges for running costs paid by each and
every resident of the hall, and do not depend on usage. No additional charges are currently incurred
for using the Internet..
Hard- and software for the internet:
To establish internet connection, you will require a PC/laptop with a network interface card and a
cable connecting this to the connection socket (patch cable). Summarised instructions for configura-
tion of your PC can be obtained from your administrative office (see 1.1)
Important:
Right connection socket (‘T’): Telephone
Left connection socket (‘D’): Internet
This double connection socket must under no circumstances be opened, removed or other-
wise tampered with!
Please notice: usage of washing machines and drying rooms is at your own risk. We do not
take over any liability in case any laundry gets lost!
2.10 Parking
Parking possibilities are on the parking deck as well as in the subterranean garage and on the
streets. Bikes can be stored in bicycle stands, and some houses have their own bicycle storages.
If you are interested in renting one of the parking spaces, please contact the administration office dir-
ectly. If not all available spaces are required by students, those remaining may be available for rent
by other interested parties. Please contact the administration office directly for details of the condi-
tions.
3.3.3 Noise
In principle, the house rules apply to the entire hall of residence. This means that you have to avoid
disturbance of peace in the residence, in the house and in the rooms. In particular you should avoid
doing any renovation work or other loud activities between 12 and 14 pm as well as between 18 pm
and 8 am. On Sun- and holidays, this kind of works and activities is never permissible. Especially
between 22 pm and 7 am, you should keep quiet.
Despite these regulations, complaints from neighbours living in the surrounding buildings are unfor-
tunately frequent and mainly purport to unacceptable noise levels during the night.
We thus strongly urge you to please observe the period of quiet time between the hours of 22
pm and 07 am.
Please respect above all the following rules:
▪ Keep the windows closed when you gather in the common rooms.
▪ Keep the volume of the music down to an appropriate level
▪ Do not talk loudly in the yard.
Apart from rest periods which ought to be respected, we would like to appeal to your consideration
for your neighbours who are mainly working and need to sleep at night. If you make noise and party
until morning, this will probably damage good neighbourly relations and, generally, deteriorate the
acceptance of student residences among the population. .
3.3.4 Barbecues
It is allowed to have barbecues on the open spaces in the Old Town Area of the Studentenstadt in
accordance with local regulations until 22 pm.
Afterwards, please dispose of ashes and coal using the specially marked bins.
▪ A cleaning rota can help. For example, everyone in turn is responsible for keeping the kitchen
clean (f. ex. for a week). You should also define which activities form part of “room service”.
▪ Tidy up after cooking/eating. Do not leave any food standing around in the kitchen, or leftovers on
the floor.
▪ Do not leave your dishes, glasses etc unwashed for a longer time.
▪ Remove bits of food from the hotplate as soon as you have finished cooking. If you forget to do
so, they will “burn in”.
▪ It is your responsibility to dispose of your waste. Do this in time, before the waste bin is too full
and emptying it changes into a heroic challenge.
▪ You should regularly clean the fridge, freezer and stove. Remove food that has gone bad.
▪ The kitchen floor should be cleaned regularly, at least once a week.
▪ You should clean windows (including their frames) about every three months.
It is your responsibility to keep the kitchen clean as you are also the one who is using it. If you do not
fulfill this task, we are obliged to hire a cleansing firm to do so, and incurring costs will be payable by
the flatshare’s members. So you can contribute to reduce running costs by contributing to your
apartment’s hygiene.

Our student halls of residence run both student self-administration and tutor programs. The main job
of the house representative is to maintain contact with the student union. He or she should also stay
in regular contact with the administrative office, as well as acting as a voice for all the residents. The
tutors' job is to promote social contact and communal living within the hall of residence. They do this
by organising group activities, where they can draw upon the support of the Munich Student Union
Culture Bureau.
Residents elect a house speaker and tutors themselves. They also agree up a statute governing the
functions and activities of the student self-administration.
4 Saving resources
The Munich Student Union strives towards environmentally friendly conduct in all areas of its work.
We want to do our bit towards protecting our natural resources that our very lives depend upon. To
do this, we need your help! Everyone can save water and electricity; all it requires is a bit of thought
and attention. Proper separation and disposal of waste doesn’t only serve to help the environment; it
also helps to keep costs down. Last but not least, proper heating and airing also saves energy.
In the following sections, we provide you with a few tips aimed at helping you to conserve energy
and resources. In the appendices section you will find a leaflet with a summary of these tips, which
you can keep to refresh your memory.
4.2 Water
Water is one of our most important resources. Although this may not be immediately apparent to us
in Germany, water, particularly drinking water, is not available in unlimited amounts. It is thus import-
ant that we use water wisely, and we would ask you to do so wherever possible. The less water that
is used, the easier it is to re-purify the waste water and the less water has to be removed from the
environment in the first place. But not only this: Saving water also saves money.
Here are a few tips to help reduce water-usage:
Turn the shower off whilst shampooing your hair and washing yourself. Only turn it on again
when you need to rinse.
When washing the dishes by hand, never wash them under a constantly running tap; wash
them instead in a basin filled with hot water.
Use a beaker when cleaning your teeth, rather than letting unused water run down the plug
hole for minutes on end.
Get dripping taps repaired straight away: A tap that drips once every two seconds drips
around 800 litres in a year!
If the tank of the toilet has a leak, be sure to get it repaired and please make use of the short-
flush option.
By following these guidelines you can do your part to help save water; not to mention their import-
ance in keeping overhead costs down for the benefit of all residents.
In order to be able to ensure excellent drinking water quality and reduce the risk of a
dangerous build-up of Legionella bacteria, we need your help:
Twice a week, let all hot water taps and shower heads run until the water reaches 60°C.
Before setting the desired water temperature for showering, run hot water through the shower
head – be careful of scalding!
4.3 Electricity
Everyone can save electricity. It can be as easy as making sure that the light in the hall, kitchen or
bathroom be not turned on all night; or remembering to turn off the festive Christmas lights at the
window during the day or when everyone is asleep.
It also helps to put the PC in its energy-saving mode when you take a longer break. Check the in -
struction manual to see how this works. Even doing without a screen saver helps to save power,
which concomitantly increases the length of time for which the battery runs.
A general rule that applies to any electronic devices: Turn them off if you don’t use them. This also
refers to peripheral appliances such as monitors, printers or scanners. All devices in standby mode –
such as TV, or stereo – are silently consuming energy. Consider whether or not you really need this
function.

Help save costs for heating, water, power, and refuse collection
Dear tenants,
In light of an increase in operating costs and for ecological reasons, we would request that you com-
ply with the following tips. In doing so, you make a personal contribution to the responsible use of re-
sources and help lower the operating costs of your hall of residence.
