You have the option to book a twin room which you will share with another student of a different nationality or to book a single room just for yourself. In both cases, you will be sharing the kitchen and bathroom with all students living in the residence. Minimum age – 20 y.o.
SCHOOL-OWNED SHARED APARTMENT PLUS
This option offers the same possibilities as the normal shared students’ apartment, however there is more comfort due to a washing maschine, dishwasher and above all WiFi/WLAN internet connection.
LIVING IN A HOST FAMILY
This option offers the possibility to indulge into German daily life, culture and food and the opportunity to speak German also after school hours. There is no such thing as a classical “host family”, so your accommodation could be with a big family of father, mother, two kids and a dog as well as a single mother and her child, a single person or a couple.
