# Freshie Onboarding + Course Overview D+C 2024

[](https://hackmd.io/1U7PNNLjSw601KxPU-3Cww)


Welcome everybody!
This document is intended to make the first few weeks of the semester here @DCStudio easier. It is initially authored and maintained by the D+C Fachschaft.
It is meant to be able to answer all questions regarding the space and studying in Berlin, that you or the next Generation might have.

### The FSR Design and Computation
The [FSR DC](https://asta-udk-berlin.de/de/fachschaften/fsrs-fakultat-2-gestaltung/fsr-design-computation/)
or the Fachschaft is your local student institution. It represents all students in D+C and has several seats with voting power within the UdK.
It also has a budget of monies for any student projects to be realized. If you wish to apply for a little project funding, please join the plenaries or contact us via mail.

:::warning
Evolving and collectively written, it is very much incomplete and constantly a work in progress. Please feel free to improve on every aspect of the document and add categories / informations / tips that you would regard useful in this context

If you have questions in general, questions about this onboarder or wish to chat with someone about your situation at Uni, please shoot a mail to [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail]).
There is also the opportunity to give us an analog "call" at the Fachschaftstelefon situated next to the stairs in the studio.
