Residence Tutor Oberfeldstraße
Hello dear residents,
I’m Abdelrahman Askar, your new dormitory tutor. Originally from Egypt, I now feel at home in Germany. I study Mechanical Engineering at TU Berlin, which provides exciting insights into technology and innovation.
I speak Arabic, German, and English. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cycling, bouldering, and meeting new people. I believe everyone is like a book waiting to be discovered!
As your tutor, I’m here to help with questions about dorm life and living in Germany. Whether it’s bureaucracy or university life, I’m here to assist you.
Our dorm hosts events that strengthen our community, such as game nights, study groups, and creative activities. In the coming months, I’m planning relaxing events like bonfire evenings.
Event updates are posted in our Telegram group and on the notice boards at the entrance, so you’ll always be informed.
Our dorm is special with its green spaces, a well-equipped gym, ping-pong tables, and the unique “Bierkeller.” It’s home to a diverse community, and I look forward to making it a welcoming place for everyone.
Best regards,
Abdelrahman Askar

Hey students,
I'm Franziska and I've been living in the Victor Jara dormitory since the beginning of April 2023. I grew up in a village near Schwerin, then moved quite far away to Baden-Württemberg when I was 18. I lived there for almost 2 years before I came to Berlin. At the moment I only speak fluent German and English, but I am working on expanding my language skills to Norwegian.
In my free time I listen to a lot of music and write short stories. I also try to meet up with my friends a lot, which means I travel around Germany a lot. You can sometimes find me at parties, but more often at quiet events.
I've been studying Scandinavian Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin since the summer semester of 2023, but before that I studied natural sciences at a university in Baden-Württemberg. So you are welcome to come to me with any questions about everyday student life. Since the beginning of your studies can be particularly bumpy, I would like to give you support to make it more fluent.
Kind regards,
Franzi
Franziska Braun
