Universities, nightlife and places of interest are often so close together that it would almost be a sin not to get on a bike or “Leeze”, how the locals call their bikes.

THE FLAG STUDENT –THE BEST STUDENT APARTMENTS
Münster is a really cool city, and not just for students. That's why so many people want to move here. As in any city, housing is scarce and it's not easy to find a nice and affordable place to live or a room in a shared flat. Luckily, we have something up our sleeve: our student apartments. The two apartment complexes are modern, spacious, located in popular areas and just 2.5 and 5 km from WWU and the city centre - the perfect home for students.
