Studying remains affordable
In Germany, studying is increasingly becoming a financial and organizational challenge. Rents above the Bafög flat-rate housing allowance and long waiting lists for the comparatively cheap dormitory places are a burden on new students in many university cities. The TU Bergakademie Freiberg is an exception.
Here are our figures on living, housing and studying.

Our promise
In Germany, studying is currently becoming a financial and organizational challenge. Rents above the BAfög flat rate and long waiting lists for the relatively inexpensive dormitory places and shared flats are a burden on new students in many university cities, as this tagesschau report shows.
That is why the city and the university give all study starters in Freiberg the guarantee of an available single apartment or shared room in the dormitories of the Freiberg Student Union or with the municipal housing company.
