Housing services
- Mannheim has a few student apartments within 10 or 20 minutes walking distance to all Mannheim University, MBS course locations, and to the city centre.
- The apartments are normally fully furnished, including internet access. Common facilities such as washing machines are available in the basement or in a nearby location.
- The rent prices for the apartments may vary between €410 and €450 per month or €255 and €290 per week (prices are subject to change without prior notice). Compared to the number of students in Mannheim, the number of student apartments are considerably less. Hence, the "first come, first serve" principle normally applies.
Library services
