FAU is located in one of the most attractive regions in Germany. The area surrounding the University itself offers a huge range of leisure activities for those interested in music, sport, arts and culture. In addition, at FAU you have the opportunity to volunteer, whether it’s in University policymaking, as a mentor, or in one of the many student initiatives. The first point of contact for accommodation for students from further afield is our student accommodation run by Student Services Erlangen-Nürnberg. Furthermore, we recommend staying flexible and starting your search for accommodation in Erlangen, Fürth and Nuremberg and the surroundings as early as possible so you can find an affordable place to live.
