Although large campuses are typical of German universities, university housing is not the norm. Studying abroad in Germany, you will most likely end up living in the surrounding area where availability will be much more open to you. This does not, however, put any kind of stopper on the social aspect of university. German towns are teeming with students, with regular events and discounts found throughout the country.

If you do stay in Studentenwerke (university housing) in Germany, you will generally be in a room in a shared student apartment, whilst some Halls of Residence offer full apartments for families. The majority of studentenwerke have websites with all the information you will need.
