Student Life
Mainz, the state capital of Rhineland-Palatinate with 197,000 inhabitants, has an impressive history which is over 2000 years old. Tradition and progress are reflected here in everyday life.
Located at the centre of the Rhine-Main region, Mainz stands for cosmopolitanism and sociability, features which you can experience especially at carnival time. Of course, the fact that Mainz is also an industrial location (IBM and Schott Glaswerke) and a centre for media (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen, SAT 1, Südwestrundfunk) plays an important role.
Mainz is twinned with Dijon (France), Watford (England), Zagreb (Croatia), Valencia (Spain), Haifa (Israel), Erfurt (Thüringen) and Louisville (Kentucky, USA)
Cost of living
At present, you should reckon with approximately 600 Euros per month. The larger part of this monthly amount will be spent on rent, which is between 200 Euros and 250 Euros for a single room at the halls of residence of the Studierendenwerk. The costs of your personal lifestyle naturally depend on your own requirements.
The University of Applied Sciences Mainz has a Mensa (student restaurant), which is open from 9 am to 16 pm during the lecture period. A meal costs between 2 and 4 Euros.
Halls of residence for students
The rooms at the halls of residence in Mainz are rented out by the Studierendenwerk Mainz. The Studierendenwerk will also assist you in finding private accommodation.
Should you wish to live in one of the halls of residence, you must apply for this directly at the Studierendenwerk Mainz.
You generally have the option to live in all kinds of accommodation. As there are not enough rooms available, you should state several residential houses and types of accommodation according to priority in the category “accommodation” on the application form (for instance Lee Barracks 1. Inter I 2. Weisenau 3. etc.). The Studierendenwerk will endeavour to fulfil your wishes, but hopes you understand that due to the number of requests not all students will be able to get their desired accommodation. If you are staying at a hall of residence, please bring your own covers, pillows and crockery with you.
