If you can’t or don’t want to live at home with your parents, you will need to find a room on the private market or get a spot in a residence hall. How easy or difficult it is to find a room will depend on the size, amenities, and location of the apartment as well as the university’s location.
The rental costs can therefore also differ greatly. That is why you should start looking for a room as soon as possible before your studies begin.
If you are at least 18 years old and have your own apartment, you must pay the media broadcasting fee! The regulations that apply to students can be found on the website for media broadcasting fees.
All students must have health and long-term care insurance: If you have not turned 25, you can remain insured with your parents’ family insurance.
If you have a part-time job or earn money e.g. in an internship, you should take note of the income restrictions, as this could otherwise mean that you can no longer be included with your parents’ family insurance.
If you are not insured through your parents, then until you turn 30 or until the completion of the 14th subject-related semester you can get a reduced rate for the statutory student health and long-term care insurance.
