HERE YOU CAN FIND SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOMMODATION ON SAARLAND UNIVERSITY (GERMANY).
The university itself does not offer any accommodation. However, there is a cooperation with many dormitories, including the dormitories offered by the "Studentenwerk", the German National Association for Student Affairs.
