Housing application is included in the online exchange application. If students apply and pay a deposit of 550 € within the deadline, their application for accommodation in Seezeit student residences will be forwarded automatically. Since it is rather difficult to shorten the contract, we recommend a contract until end of July (summer semester) and end of February (winter semester). If need be, an application for the extension of a contract is possible. The private housing market in Konstanz is tight and expensive. There is no assistance for finding private housing in Konstanz, which is best found when on-site.
