What do I have to do?

In most cities with good universities it is difficult to find accommodation. This is also the case in Karlsruhe. So please start looking for an accommodation early as possible. You can get help in Karlsruhe at the Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe. They also have a housing scout who can assist you. He also organizes an event at Studienstart International. Please also refer to the tips on the International Office’s website.

It is easier to find an accommodation outside Karlsruhe. Fortunately, Karlsruhe has a excellent public transportation system. This means you can quickly reach KIT by bus or tram even from further away. You can find more information about transportation and tickets on this page.

If you have not yet found a room, reserve a room at a youth hostel or hostel.

You should be careful..

..when renting an apartment because there are people who take advantage of the housing shortage. It is often a similar approach to fraud. The Student Services Association provides important information on this topic. Please contact the Student Services Association in Karlsruhe (Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe) if you think you may have encountered a fraudster.
