Student halls of the Studierendenwerk
With a room in a student hall, you get the opportunity to live inexpensively and at the same time get to know many students and quickly make friends. In our four student halls with a total of 581 places, we rent furnished single rooms or rooms in shared flats, all close to the university, with calculable all-inclusive rents. Our student halls are located on the University Campus, the RheinMosel Campus and the RheinAhr Campus. We also provide flats that are tailored to the special needs of students with disabilities or students with children.

"Wohnen für Hilfe"
The "Wohnen für Hilfe" project of the Studierendenwerk establishes a special form of shared living in Koblenz and the surrounding area: Housing partnerships. Students receive cheap or even rent-free living space and in return support senior citizens in their everyday life and living.
It is decided together which tasks the student will take on and how many hours of help must be provided per month. This creates a living partnership that is individually tailored to the residents.
Curious? Take a look at the Wohnen für Hilfe website! Here you will find all the important information, an FAQ and the application options.
Moving checklist
Moving away is always a challenge. There are numerous to-dos and things that should not be forgotten under any circumstances. The website of the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Advice Centre helps to create an individual checklist for the move so that no important date or to-do is forgotten.
