Internationale Studierende - Wohnen
In Emden, the Studentenwerk Oldenburg offers housing for students in four halls of residence. 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 University of Applied Sciences, the halls and houses provide 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 restaurant and cafeteria at the University of Applied Sciences.
The rents in the halls of residence range between € 110 and about € 256, not including utilities. Charges for utilities (such as water, heating, electricity etc.) range between 43 and 65 €, depending on the hall of residence. Further costs might arise from internet or telephone connections which are provided in all rooms. When applying for a room, please note that the usual waiting lists may be longer at the beginning of the winter term in september.

If you want come to study in Oldenburg as a so called "free mover", you cannot necessarily be sure to obtain accommodation in a hall of residence run by the Studentenwerk. But the Studentenwerk also has a service for international students that can try and help you find a private room. It is specifically directed at "free movers" who do not come to Oldenburg as part of an exchange programme.
Usually, the rooms are single furnished rooms in private homes with a monthly rent of approx. 200-300 €. Prospective students should get in touch 2 months before their actual arrival in Oldenburg at the latest! Please note: This service cannot guarantee to find you a room – it simply passes on information from private landlords/landladies who contact the Studentenwerk with accommodation offers.
For those of you travelling with a partner, children, pets etc.: Unfortunately, we can't help with accommodation in these cases.
Die Privatzimmervermittlung in Oldenburg ist nur für ausländische Studierende, und hier im Speziellen für die so genannten "free movers", gedacht.
Die Privatzimmervermittlung hilft Bewerbern, soweit möglich, eine hochschulnahe Unterkunft zu finden. Die privaten Zimmer im Angebot sind üblicherweise möblierte Einzelzimmer in Familienhäusern mit einer Miete von ca. 200-300 € pro Monat. Auch hier gilt: Je früher Sie sich um ein Zimmer kümmern (spätestens 2 Monate vor Ankunft), desto besser sind die Chancen!
Bitte beachten Sie: Die Privatzimmervermittlung leitet lediglich Angebote von Privatanbietern weiter – es gibt keine Garantie auf Verfügbarkeit. Das Studentenwerk fungiert in diesem Bereich lediglich als Informationsbörse. Und noch ein Hinweis: Unsere Vermittlung ist nur für Studierende gedacht, die einzeln nach Oldenburg anreisen – wer mit Familie, Partner(in) oder Haustieren anreist, sollte sich an eine andere Wohnungsvermittlung wenden.
