Sabrina Repp was the first in her family to go to university. Influenced by her family's experiences during the reunification period, she became involved in politics at an early age and decided to study political science at TU Dresden. Today, Sabrina Repp is the youngest German Member of the European Parliament, where she campaigns for regional development and the promotion of young people in education and culture, among other things.

Her advice to first-year students: "Be open to new perspectives and actively engage with different opinions. Take the opportunity to network and think outside the box. Be aware that engagement outside the lecture halls - be it political, social or in projects - can be at least as valuable as academic success."
