Accommodation (university's description)
THM provides international students with information on finding suitable and affordable accommodation. https://www.thm.de/site/en/international/welcome-to-stay-/living-and-studying-in-central-hesse/living-internationally.html Experience shows that demand for accommodation is highest at the beginning of each semester (April, October), so you should start looking for accommodation around the end of the previous semester (February, July) if possible.
