Accommodation As Freiburg is an attractive city, finding a suitable place to live can take a little time. Only some of
our international students can be offered a room in a student dormitory. The Studentenwerk
(student social services) is in charge of the student dormitories. Applicants must expect a waiting
period. In addition to these dormitories, several independent dormitories are listed on the
university website. The Studentenwerk also offers a list of available private rooms, and the
International Office can be contacted for further assistance in finding accommodation
(http://www.international.uni-freiburg.de).
