ACCOMMODATION

University’s housing office is developed to take care of international students. They are mainly responsible for the accommodation of international guests and students. HSG offers rooms and studios. Due to a limited number of living spaces available, students are accommodated on a first-come, first-serve basis. To reserve your place in their area, you should apply through the university on your mobility online account. They require some documents to start, like fee submission with bank transfer confirmation. Note that the fee is non-refundable. 

Further, they provide excellent accommodation. Their bedrooms have all the facilities you need. They also organize private liability insurance for students, covering bodily damages and injuries because of your behaviour. Note that they have a fixed rental period on a per-semester basis. So, you must re-apply for the housing each semester.
