Darmstadt

TU Darmstadt's International Affairs Department assists international students in their search for accommodation through its Housing Assistance Office. A major science hub, Darmstadt is home to multiple research institutions, three universities, and many high-technology companies, all of which attract people from around the world. A wide variety of accommodations that vary in size, furnishing, and rent are available in Darmstadt and its vicinity. As the university does not own or manage student housing, we support students in finding housing in private and public student dormitories or on the private market. In order to improve your chances in finding the optimal place to live, we recommend that you start your search early. We are happy to assist you in this process. Please make sure to register online on the housing assistance website for international students. Our services include the distribution of an “Accommodation Guide” that includes links to private and public student dormitories, hotels and youth hostels, and a “Housing Guide” that provides tips on how to search for accommodation in Darmstadt.

In Germany, dormitories are off campus. As we know that it is very challenging to organise a room from a foreign country, we have reserved a limited number of rooms in residence halls of the "Studierendenwerk Darmstadt" and help our international students by establishing the contact between them and the housing agency. There are different student residences available, and most of them are close to campus. The rental period is at least 12 months, starting on 1 September. All rooms are furnished with a bed, wardrobe, desk, and chair. Kitchen and bathrooms are shared with other students in the same apartment. All student residences have Internet access.
