Housing facilities (Accommodation)

Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences does not maintain residence halls and therefore cannot guarantee accommodation for students. Students in Germany have to find accommodation themselves, meaning that a room will not automatically be assigned after enrolling at the university. Two types of accommodation are common in Germany: a room at a student residence hall or private accommodation. The majority of students in Germany rent rooms in private flats. With regard to private accommodation, various types are possible: students can rent a room, a flat or share a flat with fellow students. Flats and rooms are usually not furnished, though some are fully or partly furnished but generally more expensive. In Germany, rent is usually divided into two parts: 'cold' (kalt) and 'warm'. Cold refers to the base rent without other expenses, while warm refers to the full cost including base rent and most other expenses like hot water and refuse collection. Generally, students must pay one to three months' rent in advance as a security deposit ('Kaution'). The university strongly recommends that students start looking for accommodation as early as possible, ideally before arriving in Germany. The Welcome Centre publishes flat offers from landlords. Students are advised not to limit their search to the direct vicinity of either campus but to take nearby cities and villages into account, particularly those along train and bus routes, as the SemesterTicket allows commuting at no extra cost. The Studierendenwerk Düsseldorf runs residence halls in Kleve and Kamp-Lintfort with affordable rooms for students.
