FAQ

Who can apply?

Students of the University of Duisburg-Essen, Folkwang University of the Arts and Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences can apply for a room.

External students can also apply for a place in student accommodation. However, these applications are not given priority.
Is there a deadline for applications?

No. You can generally apply any time after enrolling successfully or receiving an admission letter. However, the sooner we receive your application, the better chance you will have.

Rooms are rented out all year round. The tenancy agreements generally begin at the start of the semester, e.g. 01.03/01.04 or 01.09./01.10 of a year.
How do I get access to the internet, TV and telephone?

Internet
You receive an email from us with your internet access data. You can access the internet either with a LAN cable or by WLAN router, although we do not provide either the router or the LAN cable.

Exception Bülowstraße: In our dormitory in Bülowstraße in Mülheim, internet is not included in the monthly rent. You have to find your own provider and sign your own contract.

TV
Your rent generally covers the cost of a cable TV connection. All you need to do is connect your device with a suitable cable. You must provide your own cable, as it is not part of the inventory.

Telephone
There is a telephone connection in many of our student residences, but you must take out your own contract with a provider of your choice and buy the relevant equipment.
