Life on the Campus of the University of Regensburg
Computer Center
The UR has an excellent computer center. There are more than 30 computer rooms available for your use. These ‘computer pools’ are located in the computer center (1st floor), in the central library, and in each faculty. Use of the computers is free of charge. The computer center also offers many services, such as free training courses.
Guest researchers receive their access account from their supervising chair.
If you would like to print something, you can do so via Webprint. However, you must first top up your print credit at one of the validation terminals. Alternatively, you can purchase a print coupon (for 2, 5, 10 or 20 euros): available in the cafeterias and at Edeka on campus (UR Forum), as well as at the kiosk in the hospital. Colour prints can be made using the printers in the computer center.
Scanners are available in the central library.
Food and Drinks
There is a canteen and several cafeterias on the UR campus. However, students and guests of the UR can also use the canteen and cafeterias at OTH Regensburg.
In all cafeterias and canteens, you do not pay with cash, but with your student ID card.
Guests of the UR who do not receive a student ID card can have a MensaCard issued. You can obtain this for a deposit of �10 at the canteen office (Mensabüro):

Sports Center
All students and staff at UR can take advantage of the university sports programme at the sports centre, which offers a wide range of courses. The selection of sports ranges from aikido to rock climbing and canoeing to yoga.
Confessional University Association
The Catholic University Association, together with the Protestant University Association, runs the Café ‘Panta Rhei’, which takes place regularly in Room 1.28. There is also a small chapel in the Central Library building.
Together, the two university groups offer regular events in their own premises and on campus as the ‘Campus Community’.

Free Wifi on Campus

The computer centre also offers a new network: StudiWLAN. This makes it easier to access the internet. The WLAN can be used without installation or device registration. To log in, you need your computer centre account (or NDS) and password.
