The prize draw is exclusively open to students beginning their studies at a state-run University in Munich in the 2012/2013 winter semester. It is only possible to win a room in one of our Munich halls of residence - rooms in Rosenheim and Freising are not part of the prize draw!
The normal conditions for eligibility to occupy a room in a Munich Student Union halls of residence also apply.
As is usual in a prize draw, participants have no right of appeal.
You will also have the opportunity to talk to residents about their experiences in a student hall of residence and hear about other halls of residence .
