The cafeteria is located on the ground floor of the Mensa building. Some hot dishes (e.g. Currywurst), but also sandwiches, coffee, soft drinks and ice cream are offered here. Here it is also possible to pay in cash.

Counselling Services of the Studentenwerk

• Social counselling: In addition to other matters, the experts provide information on insurance and student financing. They answer questions about scholarships, student loans and about part-time jobs during your studies, not to mention health insurance. They are also the contacts for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses.
• Psychological Counseling: If you have any personal conflicts or problems, such as exam nerves or self-esteem problems, you can turn to the psychological counseling of the Studentenwerk SH for help.
• Buddy Program: The Study-Buddy-Program, offered by the Studentenwerk SH, is a mentoring program for German and international students. The program seeks to promote intercultural life at universities. This gives both "Buddies" the chance to learn more about each other's language /culture. In addition, the Studentenwerk SH regularly organizes various events for international students.
