The International Office has set up an accommodation service for exchange students.
Please complete the application form, print it out, sign it and send it by post to the International Office.
The closing deadlines for applying for accommodation are:
Please be aware that applying before the deadline does not guarantee that you will be offered a room, especially for the winter semester.
Exchange students are given priority for room allocation, as there are fewer alternatives for those seeking accommodation contracts shorter than 12 months.
In case of a successful allocation, an administration fee of €50 will be charged and must be paid along with the deposit and the first month's rent before moving into the room.
We recommend that you look at our page about renting a room in Passau even if you apply for a room in halls, especially if you plan to stay in Passau for a year or longer.
If you find alternative accommodation after you have applied for a room, please contact Alexandra Winterkorn to let her know you no longer need a room.
After you have applied, you will be contacted if we can offer you a room. If we cannot offer you a room in a round of room allocations, we will hold on to your application in case a room becomes available later on. We might also contact you with the details of private landlords who have told us about available rooms. However, we do not contact those who applied for accommodation with rejections, as the application stays active in our system until term starts.
The Accommodation Service for International students does not own any property. We allocate contracts and provide administrative support.
If you accept a room offered to you and you sign a contract, you are obliged to pay the rent. Under no circumstances does the University pay your rent, whether or not you occupy your room.
If you need a place to stay for a few days or week, e.g. to search for a flat:
