The right of residence only applies to the halls of residence at the respective university location.
b) If a hall of residence is not fully occupied by the group of persons named in section a), students of a state-recognized private university may also be admitted if the respective contribution rate applicable to the Freiburg universities is paid in accordance with the contribution regulations. The contribution rate is collected once per semester by the Studierendenwerk.
1. all students who are enrolled or intend to enrol at a university assigned to the Studierendenwerk Freiburg can apply for a place in a student hall of residence at the respective university location. Groups of people with special needs are given preference when allocating rooms. These include, for example, handicapped students with special housing requirements (e.g. housing suitable for wheelchair users, people with walking disabilities, visually impaired or hearing impaired students), student couples with children or single parents with children. If you would like to apply for the halls of residence at Händelstraße 20 or Falkenbergerstraße, please follow the application instructions on the homepage of the student self-administration of the halls of residence.
2. an application is possible at the earliest 6 months in advance. Once you have completed and submitted the online form, you will receive an overview of your application details by email. The confirmation link displayed there must be activated, otherwise the data will not be transmitted. Your application is valid for a maximum of 6 months. If we have not been able to offer a room by then, the application will be deactivated after the deadline. A new application is of course possible.
3. At the beginning of the semester (March/April or September/October), we start allocating places in halls of residence two months in advance (January 1/February 1 or July 1/August 1). This means that you can expect to be offered a room from January 1/February 1 or July 1/August 1 at the earliest. Please note that tenancy agreements usually begin on the 1st of each month.
4. for applications for the current semester, the valid certificate of enrollment/study certificate according to §9 BAföG must be submitted with the online application. Only then is the application complete. This does not apply to first-year students or transfer students who apply at the start of the semester (1.3./1.4. or 1.9./1.10.) We recommend that students who are already enrolled apply for move-in dates in the current semester, as rooms may become available again.
You will receive a confirmation link every 14 days. If you click on this link, it indicates to us that you are still looking for a room. Your application will therefore remain active. At this point you also have the opportunity to change some parameters of your application, e.g. start date, rent, length of stay.
Please note: Double applications do not increase your chances of getting a room in a hall of residence, as there can only ever be one active application.
If you receive an offer from us that matches your application details, your application will be considered processed. This means that you will not be offered another room. If the offer does not meet your expectations and you reject the offer, you have the opportunity to apply again. We recommend that you take another look at our dormitory information and then specify your details.
To ensure that we can reach you, we recommend that you keep your mobile number and e-mail address up to date and check your spam folder from time to time.you can easily change your personal data via the housing portal. Request a personal password, then you can log in: Housing portal. You can also send us messages or upload study certificates and admissions via the housing portal. Applicants who unfortunately cannot be offered a room at the start of the summer or winter semester will be informed by email in March or September. Of course, your application will also remain valid for a maximum of 6 months.
