Housing

Living directly next to the campus in one of the student dorms is the ideal way to coordinate your academic and private life. Whether it’s to be an apartment, a single room just for you, or a double room shared with a fellow student: your very own four walls are furnished and just waiting for you to move in!

If you enjoy cooking with other people, if you like spending the evening in the company of a group of friends, and if you don’t have a problem sharing the bathroom, then you’ll be happy here. But remember: rooms in the student residences are very popular, so make sure you apply in good time! The accomodations are maintained by external facility management companies.
