The Studierendenwerk Frankfurt reserves 10 rooms each semester for our new students. You can apply for these rooms only on the first day of classes (in the middle/end of August or at the end of January). All admitted students will be informed about the process. Applications sent directly to the Studierendenwerk will be rejected.
