Accommodation

You will have a single room in one of the university dormitories. As Marburg has a historical centre with mostly small, traditional houses, there is little space to accommodate the large number of students right there.  That is why our dorms are situated outside the city centre and can easily be reached by local bus.

In the room there is a washing facility, and there are common bathrooms, showers and a kitchen. Please be prepared to bring a set of plate, cutlery, cup, bowl, kitchen towel, sponge - kitchens are supposed to be equipped with these things. Sometimes, however, fellow students take them to their rooms, and the utensils remain there longer than they should.

You will also find laundry rooms in every dormitory building. Bed sheets will be provided, but you must bring your own towels. You will receive your room assignment on arrival day.

Only a small number of dormitory rooms is equipped with easy internet access and/or telephone. So, please be prepared that you will not have telephone, internet access or TV in your room!  In most cases it can be made possible, not in all.  For phone calls and in order to be contacted by phone by your family and friends we recommend the purchase of a pre-paid cell phone here in Marburg.  Please refer to "Your own phone" in the left hand menu.

Accommodation is covered by the fee. Private accommodation cannot be organized through the IUSP.

Should you plan to come to Marburg the Arrival Day of the program, or want to stay longer than the end of the program, we recommend Marburg`s Youth Hostel or hotels.
