Living in Halle
The Halle Student Union (Studentenwerk Halle) can help students and doctoral candidates find places to live in Halle. Rent for a single room is between 120 and 200 Euros (80-130GBP or 145-240USD – as of June2005). Because there are a limited number of spaces available, it is recommended that you send your application in early.
If it is not possible to find a student apartment, or you wish to find housing on your own, you can rent privately or apply for a student apartment-sharing community (Wohngemeinschaft: WG). The living situation is favourable in Halle because there are many apartments available and the rent is generally lower than in other parts of Germany. The best place to find available places for rent is on the bulletin boards, found in the entrances of many university buildings and cafeterias.
If you already have a place to stay in Halle, but still need lodging for the first few nights, here are a few inexpensive possibilities:
Jugendherberge (youth hostel)
August-Bebel-Straße 48a

For foreign students, doctoral candidates and guest scientists, the Center for International Students Management (CISM Ltd.) offers service packets to help ease the stay in Halle. Included in the service offer is more information about finding a place to live.
