Legal counselling
The legal advice service gives students the opportunity to get legal help from a lawyer free of charge.
At the initial consultation, students can get tips and support on topics related to their studies. For example, the legal advice service can advise you on problems with your landlord, the broadcasting fee or your mobile phone contract.
Of course, the counselling is confidential and does not obligate you to any further services.
The legal advice service currently only takes place during the lecture period (February to June, September to December). Every Wednesday from 13.00 to 14.00 you can get advice by phone on 0621 400 68 256.
You can also send documents relevant to the consultation to the following e-mail address: uni[at]mannheim-anwalt.de.

Queer im Schloss
Queer im Schloss is part of the AStA and thus a mouthpiece for LGBTQIA+ students and their concerns. Our goals are to provide a safe space at the University of Mannheim, to make sure that we as students are represented in processes at the university and to increase the respect for and visibility of LGBTQIA+ people on campus.
Our Orga team consists of about 8 wonderful people. We meet every Wednesday at 8pm to plan events, communicate with the university and discuss upcoming dates or projects. We are looking forward to new faces – in the Orga-Team and of course at our events! 😀
We organise an average of two events a month, e.g. games evenings, clothes roundabouts, and evenings to simply get together. In terms of political processes, we are, for example, in discussions about the toilets at the university and are in close exchange with the Equality Office and the Prorector for Equality. We are also involved in the Diversity Audit certification process, working on measures to make the campus more non-discriminatory and supportive of marginalised groups.
Feel free to check out our website or Instagram and Facebook page to learn more about our work and never miss an event. If you have any questions, suggestions or other concerns, you can also send us an email at quis[at]asta-uni-mannheim.de.

Social Counselling
Events
The Schneckenhof parties at the University of Mannheim are legendary and known beyond the city limits. The General Students’ Committe (AStA), together with the student councils, also co-organises the Schneckenhof parties for students.
The freshers’ party and another party (which are also called “Hof” as in SchneckenHOF) in the spring semester are organised by the AStA. Some Chaplin events are also organised by the AStA.
Semesterticket
The semester ticket is based on a contract between the Studierendewerk Mannheim and the Verkehrsverbund Rhein Neckar (VRN). As the representation for students, the General Student Committee (AStA) has negotiated the semester ticket on behalf of Mannheim’s students in recent years.
One thing is clear to us: mobility must remain affordable for us students.We have been working on this in the past years and will continue to do so in the future. Since mobility is also a political issue, we believe that the city of Mannheim is now called upon to ensure that mobility remains affordable for students in the future, while maintaining the same BAföG rates.
An expansion of travel options to Karlsruhe and Frankfurt are also on our agenda.
