4. Exchange students will be required to pay a non-waivable student services fee (currently around € 120 per semester) to the Studierendenwerk (governmental social service organization connected to German universities). The fee is mandatory for all students (also the German students) and subsidizes the semester bus ticket, meals at the cafeteria, as well as free psychological counselling.

The University of Tübingen has a yearly quota of rooms that are reserved solely for exchange students. Basic info: Accomodation. Please see for details of the dormitories the Overview of residence halls by the Studierendenwerk.

All rooms for exchange students are fully furnished single rooms with shared kitchen and usually shared bathrooms. We strongly recommend students to opt for student housing because of the difficult and expensive private housing market in Tübingen.
