Your new room in the dormitory is furnished. However, it does not have a duvet, pots, dishes, or towels. You will need to bring your own furnishings for the room.

If you need any additional furnishings, you will need to organize these yourself.
The basic pack contains everything you absolutely need in your room. Ask your caretaker for a basic pack when you move in: purchase price €95. You can simply pay for your basic pack with your next rent payment.
The basic equipment pack contains the following items:
- 1 pot
