Student Facilities
Accommodation
Freiburg is a vibrant
and charming university city. Due to the unusually large number of students,
there is a relatively high demand for student housing and other types of
accommodations. Thus, in spite of the many advantages Freiburg provides for
students, the price of accommodations is slightly higher than in other
university cities.
