Germany hits a record high in international student enrolments, but faces a growing housing crisis. With over 307,900 international students in 2023/24, Germany’s appeal lies in tuition-free education and expanded work rights. But as student numbers climb, affordable housing options dwindle. In some cities, students are resorting to sleeping in sports halls. Germany’s provision rate for student accommodation also lags behind global leaders like the UK.

Today is International Men’s Day, a day to celebrate the vital role men play in fostering inclusivity and community in student living. As we celebrate men today, here’s an insight based on the latest GSL Index findings: male students are generally happier with their accommodation experience compared to female students—except when it comes to their bedrooms. They tend to rate desk space, bed size, and bedroom space lower. Findings like these highlight the value of understanding diverse student perspectives to create accommodations that truly feel like home. Here's to building communities where everyone can thrive! #InternationalMensDay #StudentLiving #GSLIndex #Inclusivity #Community
