Student Life

Life in Siegen is certainly a bit different than the big city experience of Berlin, Cologne, or Hamburg. But don't be fooled: there are plenty of benefits too. For starters, housing is quite affordable, whether you're after shared accommodations or an apartment of your own.

And don't sleep on this city or the region surrounding it. Whether you're into culture, sports, wildlife in nature, or wild life at bars, there is plenty of fun and entertainment for all tastes.
