Support for a six month German language course can also be provided in the DAAD stipends. There are also scholarships available from national, bi-national, or international organisations of many countries. Students interested in such scholarships should inquire at the nearest DAAD office or at the international study office of their university. Admission to a German institution of higher education does not automatically guarantee accommodation. German universities do not have a fully developed dormitory system equivalent to those at British or American universities.
Most students have to arrange on their own for accommodation.
Availability and cost of accommodation is widely variable dependent on institution and location. Job opportunities, like everything else, differ across Germany. Hochschulen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Edited by Hochschulrektorenkonferenz. Bock Verlag, Bad Honnef.
