The student dorms are limited and thus have a long waiting list and these come under the student council of the university. So, most of the students stay on their own. However, the cost of student dorms and private ones are almost the same but they depend and vary according to your choices. On average, the rent is approximately 300 euros to the limit you want and the food costs on average around 200 euros. The accommodation whether private or student dorms generally comes with all mundane facilities like washing machine, kitchen equipments, room heating, and all.

The ranking of this university in my subject which was Physics is 43 at that time. The reputation of that university is one of the main reason. My focus was on nanotechnology and Quantum technology and this institute has the best faculty for that. The city in which the college is situated is one of the cheapest in Germany.
