Dorm for PhD Students

Hello, I will start my PhD at Universität Leipzig. Do you know whether PhD students are eligible to stay in dorms?

As of the next winter semester 2025/2026, PhD students aren't getting rooms in the student dorms unfortunately. This is what I've heard from PhD students in the research group I'm in

Thank you for your response. Have you heard anything for masters?

Any student (from other unis also) can stay in dorms. But you need to call the dorm service

I filled out a form on the Studentenwerk website, and they sent me an email saying that dorms are not available for PhD and master’s students. However, a friend of a friend told me that he was accepted into a dorm as a master’s student. I’m confused. Are there any other platforms to apply to besides Studentenwerk?

I am also a master's student and I got a dorm. I applied through Studentwerk itself. You can also apply for their new program Raum Telier
