Student Life
Campus life
The KFU buildings are between around 200 and less than 10 years old. Many of the older buildings could at least be made gradually accessible through subsequent adaptation. However, there are some buildings or building areas where adaptation has so far not been possible. Likewise, not all subsequent adaptations meet the full standard of accessibility, so that, for example, stepless access is only possible via rear entrances or an inner courtyard. Accessibility standards are complied with in all newly erected buildings and current conversions and refurbishments.
Sports facilities
The University Sports Centre – USI for short – has more than 350 low-cost sports courses on offer. Whether you prefer the traditional sports such as football and gymnastics or new and alternative sports such as piloxing, stand-up paddling or paragliding, you can switch off and improve your physical fitness.
