Hi everyone!

I recently got offered a Type I room at Stella Matutina student dorm in Bonn, starting from October 2026, and I’m considering accepting it.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has stayed there before, especially in a Type I room.

I have a few questions:

1. Is the dorm generally kept clean and well-maintained?

2. How is the cleanliness of the shared kitchens, showers, and toilets?

3.I read that the shared facilities are used by around 20 tenants per corridor. Is sharing the kitchen and bathroom with that many people difficult in practice?

4. Are the shared kitchens usually crowded, especially during meal times?

5. Is there a cleaning schedule for the shared facilities?

6. How does the washing machine work? Is there a booking/schedule system, or can residents use it whenever it’s available?

7. How is the overall atmosphere in the dorm?

8. Anything else I should know before accepting the room?

I’d really appreciate hearing from current or former residents, especially anyone who stayed in a Type I room. Thank you! :)

Hi everyone!

I recently got admitted to the M.Sc. Molecular Cell Biology program at the University of Bonn for the Winter Semester and I'm looking to connect with future classmates, current students, and alumni.

I'd love to hear about your experiences with the program and student life in Bonn. How are you finding the course? Is it well-structured, and would you recommend it?

If you're also joining this winter, currently enrolled, or an alumnus/alumna, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a PM. It would be great to connect before the semester starts!

Also, if there are any WhatsApp (or other) groups for incoming University of Bonn students, Molecular Cell Biology students, or students living in Bonn, I'd be very grateful if you could share the invite link.

Looking forward to connecting with you all. Thanks in advance!
