Wohnanlage Halifaxstraße

Overview

The Halifax student hall of residence in Aachen, directly opposite the Department for Computer Sciences and close to the university clinic, has 295 residents. Situated within approx. ten minutes walking distance of the RWTH and approx. ten minutes from the extension buildings by bike. The housing complex has an underground car park for your use (rent: 13 EUR). Availability is subject to a waiting list and to an interview.
The hall was opened in 1994 and is not in the normal high rise style. Instead, six houses with up to four floors are arranged around a central courtyard. The rooms are organised into flats. The tenants in each flat share a kitchen with sink, hob, fridge and balcony between two, three, or four. Bathrooms with a toilet and shower are shared between two. Residents of apartments have their own bathroom and a small kitchen unit.
