Student Dorm

Housing facilities in the Student Dorms (Studentenwerk / Student Village)

Berlin is home to four universities and a dozen colleges. Students looking for short-term leases face various challenges in finding housing that is available for short-term lease, meets basic standards and still remains affordable. As an optional service, FUBiS serves as an intermediary between students and a range of accommodation options that match these criteria. Please note that your lease will be short-term. In Germany, it is customary that short-term leases are relatively more expensive that long-term leases - one can expect to pay more than twice as much for a short-term stay. Cost advantages that FUBiS might be able to negotiate with housing providers are passed on to the student.

FUBiS offers students off-campus housing on a first come, first serve basis. Depending on availability of the rooms students will either live in the Studentenwerk or the Student Village. Both are non-profit organizations providing affordable housing for students.

FUBiS generally attempts to place students of different nationalities and approx. the same age in one community. Students have to pay a 100 € deposit which will be refunded at the end of the stay if the rooms are left in the original condition.

Students participating in Term II and Term III can stay in the dorms the week in between the two terms for an extra daily charge.

Please note that in general there is no internet access available in the student dorms.
