Ask a Student Ask a Student!

If the universities you are searching for are far away from your home, it might be difficult to visit the campus and come in contact with students. If it is not possible for you to take a campus tour at Jacobs University or attend one of our Open House events, where you could talk to Jacobs University students, you may wish to contact them from home.

Our best advice for contacting current students would be to write to the Jacobs University student assistant in the office of admission. He or she will answer your questions from the perspective of a current student, or contact a fellow student who might be able to help you better.

Our Facebook Discussion Board may help address your questions - answered by our student team: On the "Jacobs Admission" Facebook Page

Alternatively, you may check the list below and contact some of our students directly. They are eager to help you in any way possible.

Feel free to befriend us on Facebook and follow us there; either on our Jacobs Admission Page. 
Also feel free to ask questions on the Discussions Forum. You could also follow us on the college search engine Zinch.
 

You may also join one of our student led facebook groups. Please contact our student assistant Mohsin Zamir Dar for more information. This resource is a good place to find students from your home country and ask questions about students' experiences. During peak times, e.g. during finals, you might get less answers than during less stressful periods. Jacobs University does not moderate the forum, and therefore information that is found there is not always accurate. 

If you have general questions about admission, visas, registration, financial aid and scholarships, it is best to simply ask our professional staff members working in these areas. Please follow this link to contact the admissions office.
