Brought everything to Germany except your winter jacket? The DAAD provides general information so that neither minor nor major mishaps occur. The most important point of contact for accommodation in Wuppertal is the Accommodation Centre of the Studierendenwerk Wuppertal. Used furniture and inexpensive new furniture can be found via small adverts in the Wuppertaler Rundschau or the Westdeutschen Zeitung as well as the Diakonie and the Wuppertaler Tafel.
Living in a hall of residence
What student can claim to live in a building that has won architectural awards? The residents of the "Neue Burse" student hall of residence can. The student accommodations provided by Studierendenwerk Wuppertal have many advantages: they are reasonably priced, are not far away, have internet access and offer the best contact opportunities. Tenants can not only contact the caretakers with any questions, but can also speak to the residence tutors at any time, who will be happy to explain the ‘rules of the game’ in the residences.
