Leben in Halle

1. Accomodation

As Halle University is not connected to any campus system, you’ll have to look for accommodation yourself. But don’t worry; in comparison to other cities, Halle is an easy city in which to rent accommodation. It will definitely not be a problem to find a place to live.

** All necessary information for your first steps in Halle can be found on this website of the International Office:

a) Student housing

You can rent a room in a dormitory. There are 10 dormitories in Halle, all of which are located near a campus. These are usually single rooms in a shared flat, i.e. you share a bathroom and kitchen with 2 to 6 people. The rooms are furnished with a bed including a mattress, a wardrobe, a shelf, a desk and a chair. The dorms are equipped with modern facilities, including communal kitchens, washing machines and internet access. The rents are affordable. The rental prices include the costs for the following services:

✓ Heating

✓ Water

✓ Electricity

✓ Internet (via LAN connection)

✓ Furniture provided

à Current prices can be found on the Studentenwerk website. When moving into the dormitory, the first month's rent and a deposit must be paid.

b) Sharing a flat

Most students in Halle live in shared flats. A room in a shared flat is often cheaper than in the student residences. In addition, sharing a flat is a great opportunity to improve your German language skills through direct contact with native speakers.

Many students advertise rooms in shared flats through notices on Campus (e.g. on the notice boards at Melanchtonianum, Löwengebäude, or Juridicum). Normally, these students are either looking for a flatmate, or they wish to sublet their own room for a semester because they are spending time abroad.
