when you register. We will make every effort to ensure
that you are placed together.

Is it possible to organize accommodation for people who
are accompanying students and not taking part in the courses?
We would like to recommend that you stay at a hotel or
a guesthouse during your German course. Due to the limited
number of rooms we are only able to offer accommodation
to course participants, but we can find a solution.

Is it possible to change accommodation?
Should a student, contrary to expectations, be dissatisfied
with the accommodation, this should be communicated to
the school office as soon as possible, however no later
than three days after arrival. Nassel will then offer
an alternative.

Is there a washing machine?
Our student residences generally feature laundrettes.
Most host families and some student apartments do, too
- at cost price. However, as any other metropolis there
is a huge number of public laundrettes all over Germany,
which is a good occasion for tuning in on local talk.

What is the difference between student residence and student
apartment?
Student residence: You have your own room (single or shared
room) in a favourably located student residence with rapid
access to the city centre. You can choose between breakfast
and half-board . There's a kitchen where your may use
the hotplates and refrigerator free of charge - students
must provide their own crockery and utensils. Most rooms
have shower, WC and telephone.
A student residence is a great place to meet international
and German students.
Student apartment: We recommend this type of accommodation
if you value your independence. You are accommodated in
a well-maintained flat, often shared with other Nassel
students, in single or shared rooms with shared bathroom
and kitchen. You are responsible for your own meals; the
flat contains all usual kitchen utensils and crockery.
Most flats are also equipped with their own washing machine
and TV.
In a student apartment you will meet other students from
all over the world.

accommodate our course students. An average of one to
four students are accommodated in any one apartment.

Kitchens in our student apartments are fully equipped.
If you have booked a student residence and intend to do
your own cooking, we ask you to bring your own pots and
pans.

How are host families selected?
We make every effort to ensure that your stay is as pleasant
as possible. Accommodation standards are regularly checked
by us. We also ask all our students for feedback after
their stay. Our landlords are selected with the following
criteria in mind:
• Closeness to the school (average of 10-20 minutes, max.
40 minutes) by public transport;
• Size, furnishings and fittings in the flat, bathroom
facilities and student's room;
• Access to the family's communal areas;
• Weekly cleaning of the flat and check that everything
is OK;
• If breakfast or half board is offered, choice of food
at breakfast and a three-course hot lunch or dinner;
• Opportunity to get to know family members and any other
tenants.

Do the host families have children?
Some of our host families are young and childless, some
have children who attend school and some are older couples
whose children are already grown up and live elsewhere.

19.
It is difficult to get a place with a host family. Why?
We offer about many places with host families throughout
the year . Some host families only accept students that
book accommodation and board, others prefer female or
younger students. We aim at accommodating the wishes of
host families and students. It can happen that we do not
find a suitable host family for the student due to incompatible
preferences. In this case we always offer an alternative,
i.e. a student apartment or a residence. That is why we
ask our clients to tell us in the registration form which
alternative they are willing to accept.
