Living in Ludwigshafen
Affordable living in the heart of the metropolitan area Rhine-Neckar: Welcome to Ludwigshafen!
Ludwigshafen may not be considered a classic university hotspot, but the city has a surprising amount to offer as a place to study. In addition to good study and work opportunities, it also scores with affordable housing options:
- Not in the mood for inflated rents? On average, students in Ludwigshafen paid around 345 euros in rent for their shared room in 2024. That's €55 and €114 less than in Mannheim and Heidelberg respectively. In Munich, a shared room costs more than twice as much, if you can get one.
- An interesting option could also be the furnished single apartments and rooms in the dormitory of the Vorderpfalz Student Union (Heinigstraße 13) could also be an interesting option. Applications can be made via an online form: https://tl1host.eu/SWLD/#admission
