Accommodation
Student rooms are located in the vicinity of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. The Academic Support Group (AKAFÖ) offers apartments and rooms from EUR 240,- to EUR 400,- per month. The application process is undertaken online by the student themselves.
In Bochum living expenses amount to approximately EUR 600-800*- per month in total. Utility costs have gone up considerably.
Most student housing is in short supply and has long waiting lists (6-12 months). It should be possible to apply after admittance and prior to enrollment.
Housing on the private market may be listed only a month or two ahead of time, so keep checking, particularly early Saturday mornings.
