The Studentenwerk Oldenburg offers housing for students in 11 halls
of residence in the city of Oldenburg. The halls of residence run
by the Studentenwerk are a good choice for both shorter and long
term accommodation. Situated
at comfortable distances from the Carl von Ossietzky University
as well as the University of Applied Sciences ("Fachhochschule"),
the halls provide only single rooms, either in shared flats, in
double apartments or in single apartments. The single and double
apartments have their own kitchen / kitchenette and bathroom, whereas
in the shared flats, you find shared kitchens and bathrooms.
Depending on the hall of residence, you can rent furnished or
unfurnished rooms, some being also partly furnished with
a
book shelf and a cupboard. Even if the room is fully furnished,
students must bring their own bedding (i.e. pillows, duvets and
linen)
as
well as towels, cutlery and crockery. There are no meals provided
in the halls of residence, but students may of course use the
restaurants
and cafeterias at the University and the University of Applied
Sciences ("Fachochschule").
Depending on size and facilities offered, the rents in the halls
of residence range between € 77 and about €
288, not including uitlities. Charges for utilities (such as water,
heating, electricity etc.) differ among the halls of residence;
they range between 37 and 65 €, depending on consumption.
Further
costs might arise from internet or telephone connections which
are provided in all rooms.
If you want to apply for a room in one of our halls of residence
please fill in the application
form (in German). For the English version, there is a pdf-file
that you can print, fill in and post to the Studentenwerk.

In addition to plain housing, the Studentenwerk offers a special
service package for students from
abroad: For the fee of €
964, it includes a furnished room for six months and some more
items that will make your stay easier. If you want to obtain the
service
package please contact the Student
Housing Department.
Furthermore, the Studentenwerk offers a private
accommodation service for international students where you
can submit a request for a room in a shared flat or a resident
owner's home. Please note: If you don't
plan to buy a service package, you must make
sure to arrange for accommodation some time before
you
arrive in Oldenburg, if possible 3 to 6 months prior to the beginning
of your stay! Otherwise it may be difficult to get a suitable
room
or apartment in time for the beginning of your studies, as there
are waiting lists for all the halls of residence that range
from
at least 2 to 6 months or more.
