    Things you should know before you move in
     

    • The minimum rental period for exchange programme students is one semester. Depending on the university, this means

      Hochschule Ruhr West
      01.09 - 28.02 (winter term) or 01.03 - 31.08 (summer term)

      Universität Duisburg-Essen/Folkwang Universität der Künste

      Of course you can also rent the room for several semesters.
       
    • Exchange programme students pay a rent surcharge of 20,00 € per month. This will be charged together with the monthly rent.
       
    • Moving within our dorms is not possible for exchange students due to the high administrative costs.
