Housing

JYM students live alongside other university students in the popular Studentenstadt Freimann, located next to the English Garden, and about 10 minutes from the city center with public transportation. The "StuStadt" is where you'll begin to set down roots as Munich becomes your new home-away-from-home.

JYM students live in small but cozy efficiency apartments that come with their own kitchen space (countertop burners, refrigerator, cupboards), private shower/WC, bed, desk, balcony, and internet connectivity (photos). Students are placed in different Häuser, and each floor has its own common area (GAP) where students come together to watch tv, share meals, have parties (yes there are parties, from what we've heard), or just hang out and relax.

"Living in the StuStadt was one of the most valuable experiences of JYM. You cannot help but meet other people from other areas in Germany/Europe. Living there forces you to use your German and thus improve your speaking abilities." (William, University of Dallas)

But life in StuStadt involves more than just having a roof over your head. In addition to tutoring programs, extra-curricular workshops and courses, StuStadt has its own cafes and Diskotheken, e.g. the Tribühne and Pot (in the orange house), Bistro (in the red house), Manhattan (on the 21st floor of the green house), Cafe Dada and Mad Max (in the basement of the Max Kade House), and Underground (in the Egon Wiberg House). And StuStadt is also where the largest student theater and music festival in Germany takes place: StuStaCulum!
