Usage Note

Studentenwohnheim is a residential hall run by the Studentenwerk (student services organisation), offering subsidised rooms to enrolled students. Demand far exceeds supply in major university cities, so many students also rent privately.

Examples

"Im ersten Semester wohnte sie günstig im Studentenwohnheim."
