Living in Frankfurt

Accommodation for exchange students

Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences does not own any dorms for exchange students. Available accommodation and housing for students is very limited in Frankfurt.

Therefore, our housing office tries to help all exchange students to find affordable accommodation.

During your application process, you will be asked to fill in accommodation application form for our housing office. Only one accomodation offer can be made to each exchange student.

You will be informed about your accommodation before arrival.
