Where in Germany is Erlangen?
Erlangen may be reached most easily via the nearby Nuremberg airport (ca. 15 km).
To go to Erlangen, take subway line U2 which leads directly to the Nuremberg main railroad station ("Hauptbahnhof") within 12 minutes. Subway trains depart every 10 minutes during daytime hours. Trains to Erlangen depart from the main railroad station every ca. 20 - 30 minutes.
Taxis to Erlangen cost ca. EUR 25, but may be shared.
Munich airport is ca. 160 km south of Erlangen. Train connections to Erlangen are via the "S-Bahn" (rapid tansit) to Munich central station, and then to Erlangen via Nuremberg. Connections may be less convenient than those via Frankfurt airport (see below), although Munich is closer.
Frankfurt airport is ca. 240 km north-west of Erlangen. There are trains directly from the airport to Nuremberg where local trains to Erlangen depart every 20-30 min. during daytime hours. Some of the Frankfurt - Erlangen trains save time by connecting at Fürth rather than at Nuremberg central station. The conductor will advise you.
Cars may be rented at Nuremberg, Munich, and Frankfurt airports, or in Erlangen for those who plan sightseeing.
Besides the train service from Munich airport (via Munich central station) and from Frankfurt airport to Erlangen ca. every 1.5-2.0 hrs. during the day, some German "Intercity" lines stop at Erlangen and most in Nuremberg where connections to Erlangen depart every 20 - 30 min.

After ca. 300m you will find the "Mensa/Studentenhaus" on the right hand side at the Langemarckplatz.
Coming from south, turn right at the end of the Autobahn exit in "Centrum" direction. Follow this street ("Werner-von-Siemens-Strasse") for ca. 900m.
