We always try to give you your preferred room but please understand that we can only offer those rooms that are free. First come, first served.

Registered students of the following universities are preferred in the allocation of rental agreements, because they are fully entitled to live there.

• Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (incl. Studienkolleg and University of Music)
• University of Mainz
• Bingen University of Technology 

Students of other universities will receive a lease offer if all applications from students of the above mentioned universities have been offered a rental agreement. Students of other universities are only entitled to residency with restrictions. Please note that rental agreements can be extended after one semester if there are still free places available in the following semester. Priority is given to students who are fully entitled to residency. 

Externals, non-students are also restricted in their right of residence. Rental agreements will only be sent out once the two groups mentioned above have received offers. The above-mentioned information on the extension of the lease is valid accordingly.

The legal basis of these points can be found in the statute of the student dorms of the Stw Mainz. 

Tip: If you are still looking for other offers, check the private room offers.

There is a FAQ about living to answer your further questions.

Only if you have filled out the online application, we can send you a room offer. Check your priorities and take a look at our dormitories. 

Fill out the form and let us know through the field "Notes" which attribute of your future room is especially important to you (keywords: low rent or location or luxury).

Only if you click on the confirmation link in the e-mail sent to you, we will check your application.

Didn't receive an e-mail with a confirmation link?

Please check your spam/junk mail folder to see if the e-mail landed there. Without the confirmation your request will not be forwarded to us and we cannot offer you anything.

Keep your application active & stay on waiting list: click on the link regularly.

At regular intervals we will send you an e-mail in which you have to click on the link to stay on the waiting list. 

When does the offer comes?

Between January and the end of March for the summer semester and between July and the end of September for the winter semester the room offers will be sent out.

The later the application, the later the offer. We allocate the rooms according to the application date, i.e. the later you have applied, the later we send you an offer. 

Further information can be found in the FAQs.

Check your e-mails regularly! 1-3 days time for decision-making

During the peak rental period (August, September & February, March) we send out all available rental offers by e-mail. The rental offer must be confirmed within 1-3 days, otherwise the room will be offered to the next person on the waiting list. You will then also be automatically removed from the waiting list. 

Start of contract: Our rooms are always allocated at the beginning of the semester for one semester. The standard start date of a contract is therefore pre-selected in the application. 
At other times only remaining free rooms are allocated, so the choice of what we can offer is more limited accordingly.

Your priorities: We try to consider your priorities, but we can only offer rooms that are currently available. If your wishes have not been respected, it is likely that all other options are already rented.

Now, you decide. Do you want to accept our offer?

You still have questions, e.g. if you have not yet received an approval, tips can be found in the FAQ.

Please sign the contract, scan it (or take a photo) and send the documents back to us by e-mail.
 

Now it's finally time: You can call the room in our dorm your own!
