Student dormitories typically offer private rooms to students with a shared kitchen and bathroom. The rooms are usually furnished and equipped with a bed, table, chair, wardrobe, and shelving. There are also fully accessible accommodation options as well as housing for students with children. The monthly all-inclusive rent covers all operating costs, including water, electricity, and heating. A 300 euro deposit is required when moving in.
The application process is straightforward and takes place online through Studierendenwerk Thüringen. The application period for student housing begins six months before the start of each semester.
When looking for housing, it’s worth checking popular online platforms as well as the local accommodation listings. Our University Message Board is another good place to start if you’re looking for current accommodation listings or want to post a listing yourself. It’s also a good idea to get in touch with other students, the Student Council, or other University groups before you begin your studies. These networks often share accommodation offers and helpful tips
Through its private accommodation service, Studierendenwerk Thüringen regularly provides listings from private accommodation providers, but it does not manage private accommodation itself. It is a good idea to search for listings on housing portals, the University's online Message Board, and social media. Weimarer Wohnstätte also offers a wide range of flats for students and young people.
Housing Allowance
Students who receive BAföG may, under certain circumstances, be eligible for a housing allowance. Further information on this can be obtained through Studierendenwerk Thüringen. Students who do not receive BAföG may also submit an application for housing benefits.
Educational Allowance
The City of Weimar offers students a bonus of €300 if they make Weimar their main place of residence.
Don't forget to sign up
After moving in, it is important to register with the City of Weimar’s Residents’ Registration Office, ideally within 14 days. At the same time, you should notify the Campus.Office of your new address so that important documents can be delivered reliably.
