AccommodationErlangen and Nuremberg are attractive citieswith historic flair and modern infrastructure.FAU will do its best to assist new students infinding accommodation. However, the housingmarket is quite tight.The student halls in Erlangen and Nurembergcan only provide accommodation for a smallnumber of students.

Ifyou extend your search to neighbouring townssuch as Fürth and Forchheim, your choice ofaccommodation is much larger and rents arelower while the well-developed local publictransport system means you're never far awayfrom the university.In addition, there are flats shared with otherstudents or sublet rooms. This option not onlysaves you money but also helps you settle inquickly and make friends in your new home.A good starting point for your search arespecialised websites and the university's noticeboards.
