Housing
LMU Munich is able to offer accommodation for the participants in student residential halls of the Studentenwerk München.
All student housing facilities are located close to Munich's excellent public transportation system. Frequently operating buses and subways provide a fast connection to the university, which is located near Munich’s downtown area.
Each student is accommodated in his own private room. Some of these are in shared apartments and some are self-contained single apartments. Accommodation is allocated according to availability. It is not possible to select a preference (except in the case of students who send us special requirements together with their application).
Almost every room is equipped with a small kitchen where students can prepare meals. Some accommodations offer a community kitchen on each floor.
Students will be provided with sheets and blankets, which can be cleaned at one of the laundry rooms in the building. Towels and kitchen utensils (silverware, dishes and pots) will not be provided. We ask that you acquire these items according to your own personal needs.
Arrival / Departure

If you want to use public transportation during your stay in Munich, we recommend a monthly pass called ‘Isarcard’.

During your stay, you will be responsible for providing meals for yourself. Lunch can be purchased at one of the university’s cafeterias for € 3-5.
Dormitory kitchens can also be used for the preparation of meals. You will also have a fridge to store food in.
Note:
Please remember to bring any supplies you may need to enjoy Munich’s outdoor bath culture. Munich is famous for its beautiful sunbathing areas and lakes. The 'Feringasee', for example, is only 15 minutes away by bike. Many other open-air swimming areas, including the 'Isar River', which flows directly through Munich, ensure that the city is a beautiful place to enjoy the summer.
