This is how a week at GLS may look like:

Sunday

Arrival in Berlin and transfer to accommodation: The GLS reception is open 24 hours (after 9 pm there is no receptionist, but the security man will check you in). If you stay with Berliners, please try to schedule arrival between 9 am and 9 pm.

Monday

In the evening: GLS "Stammtisch", i.e. a get-together for old and new students. Every Monday between 40 and 120 students attend - a great opportunity to make new friends.
