Karlsruhe has 300,000 inhabitants and more than 30,000 students. That means that one in ten inhabitants of Karlsruhe goes to one of the eight higher education institutions in the city. Despite the nearly 2790 rooms in our residence halls, the students depend on a functioning private accommodation market in Karlsruhe and Pforzheim. Hence, in Karlsruhe, the Studierendenwerk has set up a private accommodation service that anually helps between 2.500 and 3.000 students find a private room.

Please note:Students can sometimes be victims of dubious housing providers. Students are required to pay an amount in cash in advance if they want to receive the rental contract. We strongly advise not to pay the landlord – especially if it is a stranger – in order to receive the rental contract. (cf.
advance fee fraud) The money may go missing, or this may be a scam. Please contact us at
