There are plenty of lockers to keep your luggage at Munich Hauptbahnhof. The lockers are located at each end of the station, and the cost is €4.00 per day for the large size locker.
The red light that indicated the rate for that particular size locker identifies an available locker. After you insert the money, the key can be pulled out and at that point, the locker is locked. If you need to open the locker for any reason, you will need to pay again to relock, so make sure to take everything you need before inserting the money.
The short-term lockers allow three-day maximum of luggage storage. If you need to keep your luggage for a longer period, the long-term lockers are available for a minimum of one-month storage. For any storage less than one month, the left luggage office is the place to go, where they will store anything large and small, and the charge is per piece per day. Leave a Comment

There are two Internet cafes outside of Munich Hauptbahnhof.
Coffee Fellows, located on Schuetzenstrasse 14, is a bright and spacious place. The computers here are better than all the Internet cafes we have been to, the staffs are courteous, and the interior is well kept. The cost is €2.50 per hour, there are no coins or ticket needed, and the rate is not round up as in many other places. Our ticket showed we used 117 minutes and we paid for that time, not for two hours.
The Coffee Fellows café downstairs serves very good food and drink, and everything can be brought upstairs by the waitstaff so there is no interruption to your working.
Across the street from Coffee Fellows and on Bahnhofplatz 1 is easyInternetCafé, the large chain owned by Stelios the Greek wonder who owns everything that is prefixed by easy with lower-case e, from easyJet to easyCruise and everything in between.
At easyInternetCafé, one has to fend for oneself since there is no staff support; however, the rate is a bit less at €2 per hour. In order to use the computer, tickets or passes are available from a vending machine. The computers here are not as well kept and the clientele is a mixed bag of students, travellers, and loiterers.

You will want to explore housing options and find out about job opportunities, should you decide to study in Munich. Who can advise you and answer the questions that arise?
Turn to the Association of Student Affairs.
The STUDENTENWERK is established to provide these services for students at educational institutions throughout Munich: dining facilities, dormitory rooms, cultural exchanges, and student advising. It also offers an online housing referral service for 'off campus' placements.

Your hotel lobby may have it - Mike's Bikes for sure will. It's the indispendible portable guide to Munich called IN YOUR POCKET.
Priced at 3 euros it's a treasure trove of local information and area maps.
E-mail them and you may be able to order a copy before you leave home.

Learning German via the total immersion method is great.
If you feel the occasional need for a break, and want to enjoy an evening watching an English language film, check this place out:
CINEMA
Nympenburgerstrasse 31
www.cinema-muenchen.com
The theater offers a rotating selection of mostly current films during the week with double and triple features on Saturdays.
What a more dramatic show? There is an IMAX theatre near the Deutsches Museum, Museuminsel 1. Phone: 21.12.50. Leave a Comment

American university students have the option of taking their junior year overseas.
Munich has played a part in one of the oldest Study Abroad programs available.
Since 1953 LMU has hosted American students through the Junior Year in Munich Program. As of 1975, JYM is an officially sanctioned 'discipline' within LMU, so that participating students have wide access to courses throughout the university. In other words, JYM students are fully integrated into university studies in their field while having an American academic 'base' for additional support. This includes classes to improve German language skills.
The photo was taken during the JYM 50th Anniversary Concert performed by the Munich Youth Orchestra, June 2003.
The JYM Office is located at
Richard-Wagner-Strasse 27
80333 Muenchen
phone: (49) 89 52 30 26 36
(behind Koenigsplatz, at Gabelsbergerstrasse)
Overseas inquiries should be addressed to

Die Grosse Aula: the great auditorium. (The final word is pronounced: OWL-ah)
Located in the Main Bldg of LMU, the Aula was one of the few large meeting spaces that escaped major damage in the wake of WWII bomb attacks. As such, it functioned as the site for governmental reconstruction after the war. The new Bavarian Constitution was ratified here and the first freely-elected postwar Bavarian legislature met in this room.
It also served as concert hall to the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under Wilhelm Furtwaengler in the postwar years.
Objects d'art convey the essence of the arts and sciences. The Aula is decorated with plaster placques that trace the roots of modern democracy from ancient civilizations. The artistic legacy of ancient Greece dominates the stage with large gold mosaics depicting Apollo in a blazing chariot surrounded by 4 Muses. In a nod to astronomy, the balcony houses an astrological clock that displays the constellations of the northern hemisphere.
While not generally open to the public, the Aula is on view at times when it becomes the venue for university festivities and holiday concerts. Leave a Comment

Die Uni. (English speakers say: dee OO-nee).
Founded 20 years before Columbus set foot in America. In 1472 it was an Ingolstadt-based Jesuit institution set up by Duke Ludwig the Rich. It was moved twice and finally brought to Munich in 1826, where it has remained. It is named for its founder, Ludwig, as well as for King Maximilian who played a major role in its growth in 1800.
By 1972 LMU was the largest university in Germany. It is particularly distinguished in the fields of law, medicine, veterinary medicine and science.
Main office address:
LMU Muenchen
Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1
80539 Muenchen
phone: (49) 89 21 800

NEWSFLASH: LMU has a cool new cafe. Look for the UNILOUNGE, under the Main Bldg. Leave a Comment

A few stops north of Schwabing, students have their own space. The Studentenstadt (or student city) Freimann was begun in 1961.
Built by the STUDENTENWERK with funds supplied by the Max Kade Foundation (Pertussin cough syrup money) the complex was completed in the mid 1970's. It consists of a mix of high-rise and low-rise dorm buildings, as well as larger quarters for married students and families. There are cafeterias and sports facilities as well, including a nearby swimming pool.
The grounds are turned into an outdoor performance venue, when the StuStaCulum Music Festival takes place in mid June.
Take the U6 to Studentenstadt stop. Cross the street from the station and head north. Leave a Comment

Munich is known for beer, food and Octoberfest but there is so much more to this beautiful city and the areas surounding the town. Make sure you do more than just sit drinking beer and eating sausages. Get on the train or the bus and see what there is to see. Leave a Comment
