Accommodation
Münster is a popular student city that has been called the "World's Most Liveable City" since 2004. One in five of Münster's 305.000 inhabitants is a student. Every year, thousands of new students come to Münster and Steinfurt looking for accommodation at the start of the semester. For this reason, the International Office strongly recommends that you look for a room as early as possible. Ideally, you should sort out your housing before you arrive in Münster. After all, it is highly unlikely that you will find accommodation at short notice after your arrival.

Student Support Services Münster (Studierendenwerk)
The student accommodation situation in Münster will become very critical in the coming academic year 2018 so it is strongly advised to promptly submit your online application for a dormitory! Please do NOT wait for your acceptance letter, as you can always withdraw your application without costs. The Studierendenwerk does not belong to FH Münster but we work closely with them so you have to apply there by yourself directly and online at the website of the Studierendenwerk under the following link.
Once you apply for the accommodation, you will receive a confirmation that your application has been received and is being processed. When a room is available you will receive an email from the Studierendenwerk making you an offer. It is VERY important to react to this email immediately and not later than the deadline given in the email. If you do not accept the offer, your application will be cancelled. So please check your spam files regularly to make sure that no emails from the Studierendenwerk have ended up in your spam file. For more information regarding students dorms, visit the website of Studierendenwerk.
