In September too, we were out and about on campus and in the faculties, and we asked students what they thought. This time we wanted to know:
"What does lucky dip university mean to you?"
Moritz, 24, Secondary School Teacher Training: "The lucky dip university has held many experiences for me, both positive and negative, some of which were unexpected. One particularly positive experience was my semester abroad in Italy."
Franzi, 29, Medical Student: "In my view, lucky dip university consists of a lot of leisure organisation for students, for example the obligatory feuerzangenbowle at Christmas time or freshers' days or the campus rally. But that's always dependent on the student subject initiatives too."
Svetlana, 27, PhD Student Chemistry: "In my lucky dip are a completed degree, lots of ballpoint pens, a not overcrowded canteen and waterproof ceilings that don't leak."
Theresa, 23, Medical Student: "I have to spontaneously think of an unpleasant surprise when it comes to lucky dip university: in the days of the old canteen, the food was simply slapped onto the canteen tray with a ladle – I wouldn't have imagined that as a fresher."
Fanny, 22, Pedagogy Student with French as a minor: "The lucky dip university could happily contain the university degree without me having to study for it! Otherwise a bit of chocolate in there would be quite nice too, as well as a French course where only French is actually spoken."
Claudia, 25, Pharmacy Student: "I see evening events, freshers' weeks, campus tours and events in the lucky dip university to get to know the university better."
Moritz, 18, soon-to-be Physics Student & Noah, 19, soon-to-be Business Informatics Student: "Hopefully the lucky dip university doesn't hold too many dry events and lectures for us. We're also a bit anxious about the first exam period, but we're also looking forward to the freshers' pub crawl."
Felix, 21, Secondary School Teacher Training Maths and Physics: "The university is a lucky dip in that I've got to know far more new people than I thought, I've worked a lot in study groups and the long distances across campus have surprised me too."
