Before your studies
How do I find accommodation?
The first question that comes up after enrolling at the University of Lüneburg is how to find a room or apartment. There are several ways to look for that. Starting points are wg-gesucht.deor ebay-kleinanzeigen.deto apply for private rooms or apartments. You can also put your name on the lists for the student halls of residence, at the Studierendenwerk or at Campus Wohnen e.V. When applying for rooms in shared flats, try to be as responsive as possible to the advertisements, write a few fun facts about yourself or what you would like to bring with you to the shared flat.
Is it already close to the start week and you still don’t have a room? Check out our websiteand fill out the form to get on the Bettenbörse(bed exchange) list. Here, students from higher semesters can sign up and offer their couch or guest room for free to first-year students.
Your Semesterticket: Mobility, Stadtrad & Culture!
At the beginning of your studies, you also received your own “Semesterticket“! This means that you have various offers at hand:

The university exists on three campuses around Lüneburg. These include the main campus, the Rote Feld, and Volgershall. To keep track of which campus you need to go to, just look at the letter in the room number.
C = Main Campus
W = Rotes Feld/Wilschenbrucher Weg 84

This is how you find your room:
Room Number = Campus, Building, Floor, Room
