Accommodation (university's description)
Finding the perfect place to live is an important part of your student experience at the University of Würzburg. Unlike some other countries, students in Germany need to find their own accommodation, as universities do not automatically provide it. At the University of Würzburg, you have two main options: "Studierendenwerk" housing or private rooms/student halls. The Student Housing Service ("Studierendenwerk") manages 12 student residences in Würzburg, offering a total of 2,887 rooms. These dormitories provide a variety of amenities: • Single and double rooms or apartments shared by two to four students, with communal kitchens and bathrooms • Furnished rooms and apartments are available, though you'll need to bring your own dishes, cooking items, bedding, and towels. To apply for housing, note the deadlines: 15 June for the winter semester and 15 January for the summer semester. For more information about private rooms and student halls, visit the Central Student Advisory Service . In addition to Studierendenwerk housing, there are many private accommodation options available: • Shared apartments ("Wohngemeinschaften" or "WGs"): These are popular among students and offer a great way to meet new people and share living costs. • Private student halls: These are often run by private companies and offer similar amenities to Studierendenwerk dormitories. They can be a bit more expensive but may offer more modern facilities. • Short-term accommodation: If you need a place to stay while you search for permanent housing, consider options like hostels, guest houses, or short-term rentals. Remember to start your housing search early and stay positive! With a bit of patience and diligence, you'll find a cosy place to call home.
