After your application, you may be invited to an interview. The interviews take place in groups. In these interviews, we want to get to know you and introduce you to HaDiKo. Usually, these interviews happen to be quite amusing, so you don't have to be afraid.
The date of the admittance interview is fixed. You are not the only applicant who gets invited. The next admittance interview is in the next month.
How do I get to know my room number?
If you have received an acceptance letter and returned the admission form in time, you can find out your room number by sending an e-mail to ba@hadiko.de. Alternatively, you can send us a self-addressed envelope.
There are also lists in every house where you can find out your room number yourself.
