Dear Exchange Students,

In order to make sure to have a place to live when you come to Wiesbaden, it is very important that you already start planning your stay. Since the dormitories are booked out very early, you need to start applying as soon as possible.

C. In a shared apartment (“Wohngemeinschaft” or “WG”)

You have the possibility to look for an apartment to rent together with other students on a private basis. But it is not easy to find such apartments to rent especially if you only stay one semester. The owners usually want to rent their apartments for longer than 6 months. The second disadvantage is that the people living with you probably want to meet you before you sign the contract and this might be hard to fulfil if you come from far away.

You can find some internet sites where you can look for a WG on our website: www.hs-rm.de/wohnen

We advise you to apply for more than one students’ dorm!!

Stand: 04.04.2017 2. Applying for a room

A. Friedrich-Nauman-Straße You have to fill out the application form (see in the Appendix) and send it via fax or email directly to the students’ dorm (fax number or mailing address is on the form). Please do not send any application form for a room to Hochschule RheinMain!

If you have questions concerning the dorm please get in contact with Mr Naguy (see address in the information above).

B. Camp Pieri or Junges Wohnen You have to fill out a form online (see translation in the appendix). For this go to this link www.wfs-wiesbaden.de/bewerbung.html, confirm that you understand the conditions by clicking in the box “Bestätigung*” then click on “Zum Bewerbungsformular”.

If you have questions concerning Camp Pieri or Junges Wohnen please contact Mrs Stenzel (see address in the information above).

C. Finding a private room In this you will be on your own.

3. Waiting for an answer

After you send the application form to the renting party, you will not get an answer immediately (for an application in the fall, answer in august, for an application in the summer, answer in February - no liability). If you apply late before the semester starts, the response may take yet more time. If you do not get any answer, try to phone the management, they are very helpful and can speak English.

If the response is positive you will get a renting contract sent at your e-mail address. Please read it carefully, sign it and send it back to the renting party.

As the room situation for students is very tight, you may not get a positive response. It would be best to apply to several students dormitories. In some cases you will be put on a waiting list. So the sooner you apply the better!

The Team from International Office hopes that you will be successful.

We are all looking forward to welcome you soon in Wiesbaden!

Stand: 04.04.2017
