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!
