Accommodation in Germany

Student halls run by the Studentenwerk are the cheapest option but fill quickly. Many students live in shared flats called WGs. Start your search as soon as you have an admission.

Studierendenwerk dorm€250–450 / month

Student halls run by the Studierendenwerk are the cheapest option, with about 196,000 places nationwide, but waiting lists are long.

WG (shared flat)€300–600 / month

A WG is the most popular choice. The national average is about €489, and Munich is €750 or more.

Private studio€800–1,300 / month

Renting alone is hardest for international students in big cities.

Where to look

Your local Studierendenwerk, the DAAD Student Residence Finder, WG-Gesucht, studenten-wg.de and university housing offices.

Good to know

  • Apply for a dorm the day you receive your admission, because Munich waits can reach 12–18 months.
  • Check Kaltmiete (base rent) versus Warmmiete (including utilities). A deposit of up to 3 months’ cold rent is normal.
  • Never pay before you have seen the room or had a video call.

Monthly budget

€950–1,050 a month

Saarland University advises planning for this, and non-EU students must show €992 a month (€11,904 a year) for the visa.

Where students live

Munich is the most expensive student city, with Frankfurt and Stuttgart close behind. Leipzig and other eastern cities are far cheaper.

Before you pay or move

  • Get the contract in writing and read the rent, deposit, notice period and which utilities are included.
  • See the room in person or on a live video call before you send any money.
  • Ask how much the deposit is and when it is returned.
  • Keep your admission letter and a passport copy ready, because housing offices and landlords ask for them.
  • Book a short stay for your first nights in case your room is not ready.
