Where to live?

Student residence

We have shared rooms and apartments for our students. As there is a high demand, it is best to apply as early as possible.

 

Important: You do not have to be admitted to the university to apply for accommodation!

To apply for accommodation, please contact the Studierendenwerk.

 

Other options

If you don't want to live in a student hall of residence or all places are already taken, here are a few websites you can look at:

Apartment house at Westerberg

Tips:

  • If you don't have much time until the start of your studies, also look for rooms to rent temporarily. It's much easier to look for apartments locally.
  • Also, don't just look in the city center. In Osnabrück, you can easily get around the whole city by bike or bus. It's also often cheaper to live on the outskirts of the city.
