"Currently quite because of the Corona, but activities still ongoing just that limited to few following the precautionary measures."

"Compared to other campuses this is not much."
Daniel “Vankog” Mönch
"Nothing against the university itself, but the men's restrooms in this building have been in an absolutely deplorable state for months now. They stink terribly, the floor is sticky with dried urine, there's urine all over the toilet seats, and the tiles and partitions are pointlessly smeared with urine. Several toilets have been completely locked for months; one can only guess why. In others, the faucets have been ripped halfway out. Apparently, with all the new construction, the university doesn't have the money to properly maintain existing buildings. And to my male classmates: it would be in all of our interests if you could manage to behave civilly and urinate in the toilet instead of next to it. As adults, you should be capable of that. And if you're too stupid to hit the bowl while standing, then you'll just have to sit down."
