No matter where you study in Germany – a Studierendenwerk (student service organisation) is there to help you. The Studierendenwerke are partner organizations of the universities and support students with many services related to their studies. Your Studierendenwerk advises you on financial, social and legal issues, offers affordable housing and good food on a tight budget. Many Studierendenwerke also have special offers for international students. The Deutsches Studentenwerk (German National Association for Student Affairs – DSW) is a voluntary association of Germany’s 57 Studierendenwerke.
