German universities do not provide housing for their students. It will be your responsibility to find a housing arrangement which suits you (hall of residence, shared or private apartment). Our accommodation coordination service can assist you with your search to a certain extent, but cannot guarantee that you will find a place to stay or be held liable for your rental contract. Please find further information here. Generally, we recommend that you search for accommodation through all available channels (social media groups, notice boards on campus, newspapers etc.) and in a wider area (i.e. Nürnberg, Fürth, Forchheim and the surrounding villages), as the Erlangen housing market is extremely tense. All areas in Erlangen and surroundings are safe and offer a high quality of living. The German public transport system is good and you will be able to reach your place of study (our Faculty of Engineering/”Technische Fakultät” in the south of Erlangen) regardless of where you live. Please note that the concept of shared apartments/dorms might be very different from your home country: There is usually only one person living/sleeping in a room (except for couples), bedrooms are not shared with other students.  Shared apartments and dorms are usually mixed-gender (men and women living together in a respectful way, for example sharing a kitchen). When you apply for shared apartments, always tell your prospective roommates about yourself, your hobbies, your cooking skills etc., as people will be looking for a social match rather than for someone who can just pay the rent. If you receive an offer by our accommodation service/private landlord/dorm that you can afford, we highly recommend that you look no further and accept it.
