A wide selection of accommodation is available to those who come to study in Münster. In addition to several privately operated residence halls, the Studierendenwerk offers students a large range of furnished and unfurnished rooms. Many choose to share the cost of a normal flat with fellow students in so-called "WGs" (Wohngemeinschaften, or flat shares). You can find WG offers and classified ads for private flats in various newspapers and websites.
The Studierendenwerk (Student Support Services) operates 19 centrally-located student halls of residence in Münster for about 4.500 students. The choices of accommodation range from inexpensive rooms with shared kitchens and bathrooms, to fully-furnished one-person apartments. They also offer two- to six-room flats as WGs (flat shares) and houses especially suited for families with children. You can find more information on the Studierendenwerk website. The Studierendenwerk strongly advises you to apply as early as possible for a place in a dormitory.
