Student employees often have too little or too short a contract period, pay and vacation entitlement. This is why the TVStud movement, which we played a major role in organizing in Bonn, brought a large strike movement among student employees onto the streets for the first time last year. As a result, we have not…

Performance pressure, elitist behavior and outdated teaching methods are a huge thorn in our collective flesh. We want teaching and studying to be brought into the 21st century. Teaching varies greatly from subject to subject and from lecturer to lecturer. Sometimes the professor teaches themselves, but it is not uncommon for teaching to be delegated…

Never-ending Day, Pressure of Grades, and Fear for the Future: It’s Making Us Sick. In 2022 the university conducted a pilot survey on students’ mental health, thanks to our initiative. Not only have the results of this survey never been made publicly accessible within the university, but for the few students who did get to…

We all need affordable, all-day access to food! That’s why the food services provided by the Studierendenwerk are so essential. From the Juri§hop and Campo- and Hofgarten-Mensa to the food trucks, Bonn offers a diverse range of food options—but they’re not available everywhere. Last year, we pushed for the addition of another food truck, but…

Bus crowded again? Mobility is an essential part of everyday student life. Whether you’re heading to a lecture or the cafeteria, or travelling between campuses, the journey needs to be fast, simple, and reliable. Travel costs are one of the most critical aspects of student mobility. Many students face financial hardship and are at risk…

Whether it’s a bachelor’s thesis, a PhD, or an internship, we as students are dependent on our supervisors—not only to guide us but also to evaluate our academic work. Unfortunately, this power imbalance is a daily reality at universities. Students in advanced semesters and PhD candidates often collaborate with their supervisors on research projects. In…

The climate crisis doesn’t stop at the university gates. As a major institution, employer, and center for education, the university bears significant responsibility for driving climate transformation. It must lead by example. For new construction projects, like the Endenich campus, we advocate for sustainable building practices, including green facades and photovoltaic systems. The campus grounds…

We are many, we are 33,000! We are a significant part of Bonn’s population, yet our voice is often sidelined. Local politics is a crucial tool for amplifying student interests. As students, we care deeply about the planning and development of public transportation expanding bus lines, creating new routes, and improving connectivity. We also have…

No space in the library, and all student areas are full? One thing is clear: the university doesn’t have enough study spaces! During exam periods, libraries are packed, seminar rooms are overflowing, and group work areas are impossible to find. Even if you do manage to grab a spot, it doesn’t mean the space is…

Did you quickly find an apartment in Bonn back then?The lack of affordable housing is a serious issue. Most students in Bonn didn’t grow up here and can’t rely on family housing — or choose not to anymore. Many are left searching for a place on their own. Student dormitories are often the first option,…

In 2025, the state government wants to amend the Higher Education Act. This law lays down the basis for the legal framework of our university. As it affects many aspects of our daily lives as students – from admissions to examinations and participation in committees – it is one of the most important laws in…
