Does the University of Cologne provide on-campus accommodation?

<p>No, the University of Cologne does not provide on-campus accommodation opportunities to their students but help students in finding a number of housing options, which provides good facilities on a budget. Students in can reside in dormitories, private apartments, shared apartments and more while living in Cologne.</p><p><strong>Student Dormitories: </strong>The&nbsp;K&ouml;lner Studierendenwerk&nbsp;operates&nbsp;90 student dormitories with 5,000 spots&nbsp;for students from all of Cologne&rsquo;s universities, including spots for&nbsp;students with children or families. In addition to the student dormitories, an array of&nbsp;private student dormitories operated by other institutions exists as well. Applications to any of the above student dormitories must be submitted by the applicant&nbsp;as early as possible (3-6 months prior to moving in). Prospective students must also note that the rooms are highly desired and scarce, so the probability of being assigned a room in one of the student dormitories is low.</p><p><strong>Apartments:</strong> Students planning to rent an apartment in Cologne must keep in mind that apartments in Germany are&nbsp;usually leased to tenants unfurnished and that most landlords are not interested in short-term leases. Furnished apartments, especially larger in size, are harder to find and also more expensive. The rents vary considerably depending on the district, connection to public transports and equipment of the apartment.</p><p>As an alternative to renting a room in a student dormitory or renting their own apartment, students can rent a<strong> </strong>furnished&nbsp;or&nbsp;unfurnished room&nbsp;in an&nbsp;shared&nbsp;apartment.&nbsp;In shared apartments, students have to share bathroom and kitchen with their roommates. A room in an apartment share is usually&nbsp;cheaper<strong>&nbsp;</strong>than an own apartment and in most cases, affords the advantage of a completely furnished apartment.</p>
