Apartment Recommendations
The following are recommendations from past students about two Private Residence Halls, popular among international engineering students due to their proximity to Engineering Hall. It does not mean that we personally recommend them, but at least it gives you a third-person opinion. If you want a more complete list of privately owned residence halls on campus, please visit the Campus Area Housing Listing Service website.

"Don't waste your time looking for a beautiful wood house near the lake!!!
Go directly to the Saxony, they rent for the semester.
You can
share the apartment with other roommates and meet wonderful people.
At the moment, the Saxony is like the headquarter of the exchange program students.
There is no need to bring sheets, blankets, pots or dishes. You can rent them there."
— Student from France
"If exchange students only stay for one semester then tell them it is very difficult to find an apartment.
I think there is no sense in phoning numerous different numbers to find a vacant accommodation for only one semester.
I called approximately 30 different numbers but I only found one appropriate apartment building — the Saxony.
And I was not the only one — almost all of us (Exchange Students) are living there and it is a lot of fun.
The rooms are OK, it is very close to campus and they have all things there you need (starting from blankets to good laundry facilities).
Normally you have one or two roommates, but a private bedroom — you share kitchen and bathroom."
