Accommodation (university's description)
It is still relatively easy to find affordable accommodation in Dresden and Tharandt. Accommodation is available either via the "Studentenwerk Dresden" or on the private market. Rent for a single room in a student residence is approx. 250 EUR per month. Private housing can be found online. We recommend that you move into a hall of residence at the beginning of your stay. Subsequently, you can look for a place on the private market or in a shared apartment, which is known as a "Wohngemeinschaft" in German.
