Residing in Paradise
Jena offers housing for every taste. Whether an old building with stucco or a new building with the highest level of comfort. Outside of this, there are many flat-shares in the city, which provide the possibility to quickly and easily find accommodation.
To ensure that living also stays affordable, the student union arranges student residence halls. The residence halls provide multiple offers for students: single apartments, one and two-rooms within a flat-share, or family apartments. They are also modernly equipped with adjacent built-in kitchens, shower, bathroom, internet connection, TV and telephone connection, washing machine, dryer, and bicycle cellar. They often have a communal activity room as well.
