Aktuell haben wir 3 unterschiedliche Arten von Wohnheimzimmern zur Verfügung./ Currently there are 3 dorm room types available:

- Einzelzimmer mit eigenem Bad / single room with private bathroom (mit geteilter Küche/ with shared kitchen)
- Apartment (mit eigenem Bad+Küchenzeile / apartment (with own bathroom+kitchenette)

Bitte beachten Sie jedoch, dass Zimmer mit eigenem Bad und Apartments nur in sehr begrenzter Anzahl zur Verfügung stehen. Falls sich mehr Studierende für diese beiden Zimmerarten bewerben als Zimmer zur Verfügung stehen, können wir manchen Studierenden leider trotzdem nur ein Einzelzimmer mit geteiltem Bad anbieten, auch wenn sie das nicht als Präferenz angegeben haben./

Please note, however, that rooms with private bathrooms and apartments are only available in very limited numbers. If we have more applications than available rooms of these two types, we may unfortunately only be able to offer some students a single room with a shared bathroom, even if they have not indicated this as their preference.
