The universities are responsible for research and education – the Studierendenwerke are there to support students in Germany in economic, social, cultural and health matters.

 

With a staff amounting to more than 500 employees, the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern looks after roughly 137,000 students who are studying at the universities in Munich, Martinsried, Garching, Freising, Rosenheim, Burghausen, Mühldorf a. Inn, Traunstein and Benediktbeuern.

 

All the necessary information is available on their website under Accommodation. Make sure you register for the private accommodation services as well. There, you can find listings posted directly by the owners. Another option is “Wohnen für Hilfe”. This enables students to live with senior citizens for free. In return, the students help the elderly people in their everyday life.
