Living in Munich
Housing
Student halls (Studentenwerk München) are the value play and waitlists are long. Private WG rooms in the core are the premium line in our table. Start housing search when you hold Zulassung, not after the visa sticker.
Watch-outs
Semester contribution still includes local transport rules that change; the national Deutschlandticket is not a free substitute for every regional supplement. Confirm TUM/LMU pages for the current semester.
