Accommodation Service of the Freie Universität Berlin

If you have been accepted as an exchange student by Freie Universität, you have the possibility to use the accommodation service.

Offers of the Accommodation Service

The Accommodation Service arranges accommodation for admitted international exchange and program students of Freie Universität Berlin.

A certain contingent of accommodations is available in the privately operated Studentendorf Schlachtensee as well as rooms in student dormitories of the Studierendenwerk. In addition, the Accommodation Service arranges furnished single apartments, studio apartments, and single rooms with shared kitchens.

Information and registration

Registration is usually possible from June for the winter semester and from December at the earliest for the summer semester.

It is not possible to register before these dates, as you must first be admitted by Freie Universität and the website will not be activated until these dates.

Please note that the number of places is limited and they are allocated on a "first come, first served" basis. We therefore recommend that you register in good time!

Information as well as the application forms for the apartments and student dormitories can be found at the Accommodation Service of the FU Berlin.
