THIS AUTUMN I'm beginning to study at the Freie Universität here in Berlin, and yesterday I went to the very first course, which is a two-day "Brückenkurs" or "bridging course" for first-year biology students. Biology is not my major or even my minor; but it interests me and it was the scientific field I took in high school after Grade 10, and participation in the course was not recorded so there were no administrative obstacles.
I found out the date, time and place from the university's Vorlesungsverzeichnis (course index) online, and looked up the route on the website of the BVG, Berlin's city transit authority.

THE MAIN FU campus is in Dahlem, a quiet neighbourhood around a former royal farm in southwestern Berlin.
