If you as an exchange student come to Dortmund, you don't have to worry that nobody will be taking care of you and showing you around campus or the city.
That is why you will have a double! He or she is a student of the TU Dortmund and will contact you once you have arrived. Besides getting to know the campus and the city, you and your double can do further activities, such as walking around the Christmas market, going to a BVB game, visiting a coal-mine...
Especially in the first weeks it is very helpful,
as there is so many new questions:
Where can I go shopping? Where can I get a Sim-card for my mobile? ...
In the section about shopping and doctors, we want to help you with these problems, but a personal contact is even better and can take you wherever you want to go.
If you are a student of Dortmund, this can be your opportunity to get to know people from a foreign country, hang around with them, have a nice time and collect intercultural experiences. Become a Dortmund Double!
Here are some pictures from the 2008 Thanksgiving, which was organized by the American students and their Doubles, but the European Erasmus students joined as well:

The exchange students and the Dortmund Doubles
definitely had a lot of fun that evening.
