Accomodation in a hall of residence
If you are an exchange student and would like to use our service to reserve a room in one of our student halls of residence with a guaranteed place, you can indicate this in your application on our application portal for exchange students.
Please do not use the online application form for full-time students provided by the Student Services, as otherwise the guaranteed place will be revoked and you will be placed on a waiting list. This waiting list has a duration of at least one year, which means that you will not be able to get a place in our student halls of residence at the beginning of your exchange semester. Please note that different rental prices (short-term stays) apply to exchange students than to students who complete their entire degree programme in Giessen.
We would like to point out that exchange students are primarily accommodated in the halls of residence in Eichendorffring (house Y, partly also in houses A to C as well as E and F), Grünberger Str. 190 and in Unterhof. There are only single rooms available, not single apartments. Usually, approx. 10 to 15 people live on each floor and share a kitchen and bathrooms. The floors are not divided by gender.

All rooms are approximately 12 m² in size and functionally furnished. Each room has a bed, a desk, a chair, a shelf, a cupboard and a sink. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, an oven, one cupboard per room and refrigeration facilities. Dishes, pots, cutlery and other cooking utensils usually belong to individual residence and can be shared with their consent. The residences are responsible for cleaning.
Which room is allocated to you is subject to availability and is the responsibility of the Student Services.
