Living in the halls of residence
Our student halls of residence offer both single apartments and shared flats. The predominant form of accommodation is shared flats for two students in single rooms with a shared kitchen and bathroom, but larger shared flats are also available.

Development of operating costs
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, after a long period of stability (since 2014), rents were adjusted, in particular due to drastic increases in electricity and heating costs.
We try to keep our rents as low as possible despite these ongoing cost increases. As we have to cover the costs of running the student halls of residence and the cost increases cannot be fully absorbed by savings, we are forced to regularly review our rents and adjust them if necessary.
Amenities
Rooms are furnished with a bed, desk/table, chair, wardrobe (sometimes with upper storage) and shelving. Each type of accommodation includes a furnished kitchen and sanitary facilities. Unfurnished rooms can also be rented at Mainzer Straße 2a. In addition to internet access (600 GB/Month), in each of the rooms there are connection points for a telephone and for cable/satellite television. Residents are required to pay licence/GEZ fees themselves.
In addition, you almost always have access to:
- washing machine rooms
- fitness and other sports rooms
- baking kitchens
- bicycle storage rooms
- music practice rooms
- parking spaces
- student clubs
If you have special needs concerning your accommodation, you can get more information on housing with child(ren) or on studying and housing with a disability. You can also make an appointment with our social counsellors.
