Still Thousands of Students Without Rooms at the Start of the Semester - Hesse's Student Housing Crisis Deepens With 8,500 Pending Applications
Hesse's student loans housing crisis is worsening, with over 8,500 applications pending for just 12,900 dormitory spaces. Students face long waits and high demand, with some waiting over two years for a room.
In Frankfurt, a bed exchange program is starting to tackle this issue temporarily. Meanwhile, Gießen plans to expand housing, but high construction costs pose a barrier. In Marburg, students wait about a year for a room, and in Darmstadt, the wait is over two years. Student services mediate private rooms and shared apartments due to the high demand, which is almost a third more than the available spaces.
The bed exchange program in Frankfurt offers a temporary solution, but more permanent student loans housing is needed. Gießen's expansion plans could help, but high construction costs may hinder progress. Students continue to face long waits and high demand for dormitory spaces in Hesse.
