Details come from the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern accommodation page and the German Studierendenwerke association, checked on 20 October 2026. Confirm everything for your intake before you pay.

Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern halls

Item	What the source says
Places	“More than 9,000 rooms and apartments” in the text, and “almost 10,000” in the page metadata
Average rent	About €400.60 a month for one accommodation unit
Waiting period	One to seven semesters, depending on the hall
Waiting list	10,812 people on the Studierendenwerk’s lists on 15 September 2026, which covers the whole organisation, not just the city

Applying: apply online. Before you do, the page lets you review each hall’s waiting period and rent.
Changing your choice: you may change your chosen hall once within a year of applying by emailing the housing application team. The page says not to apply again.
Fraud: the page says never to transfer money in advance, because scammers offer cheap housing and demand payment first.

Individual hall rents, application windows, the deposit and contract terms sit in linked PDFs that I could not read, so check them on the Studierendenwerk’s site before you apply. Nationally, the Studierendenwerke association gives an average hall rent of €330 a month, about €510 for a shared-flat room on the open market, and says halls house only about ten percent of students (25 September 2026).

Studierendenwerk hall or private room?

Question	Studierendenwerk hall	Private room
Rent	About €400.60 on average	I could not verify Munich rents, so check current listings
Access	Online application, one to seven semesters’ wait	Open market, so you compete with other searchers
Contract	Sample tenancy agreement published by the Studierendenwerk	Set by the landlord, so read the term and exit rules

I have not ranked neighbourhoods or listed private blocks, because I could not verify prices or area details against reliable sources. View any room in person or on a live video call, get a written contract and never pay before you have one.
