Accommodation


  • A range of housing options is available to international students in Munich, but Munich is (deservedly!) a very popular place to live.
  • Finding housing can be particularly challenging at the beginning of the winter semester during the months of September, October, and November—so start your hunt early! However, the Munich Student Union (Studentenwerk München) provides university housing for exchange students wanting to live on-campus.
  • The International Office will largely handle the process for you. University housing is not guaranteed, but there are a number of additional resources to help you find private accommodations as well.

  • Creative thinking, problem-solving and research are central to LMU's academic programs.
  • With 2,300 beds, its Medical Center is, next to the Charité in Berlin, the most prestigious and largest institution of this kind in Germany.
