WGs = Shared apartments | Living together with other students in an apartment, your roommates.

Applies to all WGs:

• Each roommate has their own lockable room, and shared areas are used together with your flatmates: communal kitchen, lounge area, and in some dormitories, also lockable showers and toilets. 
  Only in K3 and in Münchfeld does each flatmate have their own bathroom.
• In 2-person WGs, the roommates are of the same gender, while larger shared apartments are mixed.
• Cooking or eating together? Encounters with your roommates are easy in everyday life.

2-person WG

In Hechtsheim, there are over 150 two-person WGs, while in Binger Schlag and Oberstadt there are about 14 two-person WGs. Since it is rare for both residents of a WG to move out at the same time, usually only one spot becomes available in a 2-person WG. We then assign one spot in a 2-person WG. Your roommate is therefore chosen randomly, but the roommate is definitely of the same gender. 
Kitchen: In the 2-person WG, there is a kitchenette with 2 hotplates and no oven, along with a refrigerator with a freezer compartment. 
Bathroom: There is a lockable bathroom with a shower, a mirror, a sink, and a toilet.

3-person WG

Making Contacts in the Dorm and Beyond

In a shared flat, you can most easily make contact with other students. Even better: Every dorm has a common room where you can easily get to know people from your dorm. It's best to look at the notices in the dorm or ask the caretaker how to get in touch with the dormitory committee (HV) – that's where you can make many contacts. Volunteering is also a great way to meet new people and get involved locally.

Outside the dorm, the Studierendenwerk Mainz offers various activities where you can meet other students, such as the Studi-Events or the Language Café:. Just come by and join in!

Do you want to meet people with the same interests? Then become a Buddy  and get to know other Buddys. Or become a Guest student and at the same time get to know the people and the region here better.
