We know finding accommodation can be stressful, especially when your semester has already started and you’re still looking for a place to stay. But here’s something important to remember:
Applying for a dorm room does NOT guarantee you’ll get one!
Due to high demand, our waiting times can be up to one year. And room offers don’t depend on application dates alone – they also depend on which rooms become available and whether they match your preferences.
That’s why we strongly recommend looking for alternatives instead of waiting for a dorm offer!
Explore your options:
- Search for shared flats (WGs), private rooms or apartments.
- Consider nearby towns outside Magdeburg.
- Look into temporary accommodation or student sublets.
Have you heard of our housing partnership project „MIT einander – FÜR einander“?
We connect students looking for affordable accommodation with people who have spare living space. In return for affordable housing, students help their housing partners with everyday tasks, such as shopping, gardening or using technology. The type and amount of support are agreed upon individually.
Our colleague supports you throughout the matching process – free of charge!
Want to learn more? Join our project’s consultation hours every Monday from 3–4 PM!
We also offer counselling services, including housing advice and student financing advice, to help you explore your options and find financial support for your studies.

Our advice: Keep looking, stay flexible and don’t rely on just one housing option!
