Accommodation for International Students in Cologne

All the information you need for living in Cologne: CBS accommodation, student apartments and residences!

Studying in Cologne also means living in Cologne and finding appropriate accommodation in Cologne!. As in any metropolis, there is an infinite variety of possibilities, and it is worthwhile to start searching early, to apply for a place in a student hall of residence in a good time, and to be persistent.

Are you still looking for accommodation – during your studies at CBS or the exchange semester in Cologne? The CBS Accommodation Office is there to assist you in your search: in person, with advice and support. CBS has arranged contingents for CBS students with numerous halls of residence, works together with the Kölner Studierendenwerk (Cologne Student Union), and connects fellow students who offer or seek accommodation! We introduce you to interesting options.

Please notice: Due to limited capacities and the increasing demand for accommodation, we kindly advise you to apply for a place in our dormitories at the latest 2 months before the semester starts. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee you a direct move during the first semester days.

Urban Living Köln: Live, study, and work in Cologne!

Urban Living Köln, a brand-new building in a prime location. It is a newly built house with fully furnished and modern micro-apartments. They always feature their own bathroom and kitchen, sometimes also a dishwasher.

The student accommodations are tastefully furnished so you don’t need a moving van or the hassle of buying furniture when moving in and out.
