Living in the Studentenstadt

About 10 minutes from the university by subway and located on the edge of the English Garden, the Studentenstadt is home to all students on the program. The "student city" consists of dorms of various sizes, from "bungalows" (2-story buildings), to "Hochhaeuser" (8-story buildings).

Within the Studentenstadt there are music practice rooms, a bakery, gym, tennis courts, a library and several "Kneipen" where students can get something to eat or drink. It is possible to work in one of these Kneipen to earn extra money. There are two discos, "Mad Max" and "Underground", where students can shake a leg. Intramural sports are also offered. Washing machines are located in each dorm and Internet access is available in every room upon request.

Rooms and Dorm Layout
Each student has his or her own spacious room complete with bed and bedding, sink, closet, bookshelves, desk and a chair. Participants share a bath with other students on the floor. Each floor has a kitchen and an "Aufenthaltsraum" (lounge) with a TV and an eating area. One of the best ways to get to know floormates is to cook and eat with them. Not only do students make new acquaintances, but they also improve their German!
