Starting kits
ESN FINT offers a lending service for household equipment for all international students at the City Center Campus!
There are two different sets that can be borrowed, as well as some extra items. A small service fee is charged for the starting kits (5€) in addition to the deposit (20€). The deposit is returned to the student completely once the items are returned in their initial condition (clean and dry). When returning the kit, we will inspect the set and deduct money from the deposit if necessary.
Utensils borrowing and returning sessions are organised available for pick-up during opening hours. At the beginning and end of the semester, extra opening hours are planned since the demand is higher, the dates and times can be found here. If we run out of starting kits, we will cancel the opening hours marked 'extra'.
Starting kits cannot be reserved! You can ask your tutor to pick up your starting kit if they are willing to do so, instructions can be found here. Starting kits are given out on a first-come first-served basis.

Instructions
Treat the utensils with care
We recommend to wash all items before the first use
Do not use metallic cutlery in Teflon-coated pots and pans (it will break the pan and eating Teflon is not healthy). Use wooden or plastic spatulas instead.
Use covers for pillows and blankets, as well as bed linen on the mattress
Before you return the items please clean them and make sure they are dry and grease-free
If the items are not cleaned properly we will not return the deposit!
Utensils returning sessions will be organised at the end of each semester. The dates will be announced on the website and our social media channels!
