Overview
About half of the residents of the "Europahaus" buildings are German students, while the other half are short-term students from abroad who only stay in Heidelberg for three to ten months. German residents are expected to show social commitment and willingness to mentor and support the students from abroad. This accommodation is less suitable for people who need peace and quiet.
Students from abroad are not able to apply for the "Europahaus" buildings, only students enrolled in programmes that are suggested by the foreign students offices are accepted.

However, you can extend your rental contract by another four semesters (ten semesters in total) in the following cases:
- by contributing to the residence (see special functions)
- for disabled or chronically ill students

Special deals for students with children / families
Around 5% of students in Heidelberg are parents. Since the end of the 1960s, the Heidelberg student union has offered all-day childcare to make sure that their children are well looked after whilst their parents are busy concentrating in lectures. Children in Heidelberg receive loving care starting from eight months to school age; in Heilbronn until they are three. The amount parents pay monthly is graded, in all daycares, according to gross income. You can obtain application forms in the InfoCenter, from daycare managers on-site, via nursery management or online on the homepage.
