Acommodation

Tips for finding a flat

In Germany (in contrast to other countries), you are not automatically allocated a room in a student hall of residence when you are admitted to a degree programme. Students must therefore be independent and organise their own accommodation. There are many different options and procedures for finding accommodation, which we would like to describe here.

Please remember: you are not alone in your search for accommodation. Several hundred students (German and international) are trying to find a place to stay at the beginning of the semester. For this reason, you should be prepared to take a flat/room that is not in the immediate vicinity of the university.

The more flexible you are, the easier it will be to find something suitable. In addition to applying to student halls of residence, look for a flat or room in a shared flat on the private housing market. Don't limit your search for accommodation to Würzburg, but also look in the surrounding areas such as Gerbrunn, Veitshöchheim, Zell, Höchberg, Randersacker, etc. With your semester ticket , you can travel within the VVM public transport network!

And even in the neighbouring Main-Tauber district to the west (Baden-Württemberg) it could be worth looking for a room: In addition to the generally cheaper rents compared to the city of Würzburg, the Main-Tauber district will grant you a subsidy of 50% of the price of the VRN connection semester ticket (prerequisite: primary residence in the Main-Tauber district and studies in Würzburg).

Flat adverts in the joint advertising section of the daily newspapers "Main-Post" or "Volksblatt" are usually placed on Saturdays and sometimes on Wednesdays. They can also be viewed online.

You can find offersspecifically for Würzburg on the following pages:

Flat search Würzburg (community site on facebook)

It is also advisable to simply search for relevant keywords ("Würzburg", "Zimmer", "Wohnung", etc.) on the well-known search services (e.g. Google).

Incidentally, Würzburg is relatively inexpensive for students: they pay an average of 277 euros per month for rent and utilities. In comparison: Cologne (359 euros) is the most expensive, followed by Munich (358 euros) and Hamburg (351 euros). Würzburg is in 42nd place (20th Social Survey of the Deutsches Studierendenwerk 2013).
