A mensa of the Studierendenwerk Aachen and the Melaten campus of the RWTH Aachen University are also nearby.
The dormitory is well connected to the bus network of the city of Aachen via the bus stops “Uniklinik” and “Steppenberg”.
There are many green areas and walking paths for leisure sports in the immediate neighbourhood.

Our residence consists of six houses and is occupied by 480 students. In addition to 321 14-15 m² rooms with washbasins, the Kullenhof also offers 157 rooms with private bathrooms (15-17 m²). Each room contains a desk, wardrobe and shelf. A bed has to be obtained separately. There is a communal kitchen for each room, which is cleaned every weekday by the cleaning staff.

Shopping opportunities
The next supermarket is within walking distance of about 5 minutes. It is open Monday to Saturday until 22:00. In the neighbourhood, you can also reach several discounters by bike or bus. Because of the proximity to the Netherlands, it is also possible to go shopping there and these shops are also open on Sundays.
In the dormitory you can also use our drinks sale. The most common drinks are sold here at fair prices.
In addition to these offers, there is also a vending machine for drinks and snacks, which will quickly end acute thirst or attacks of hunger.
Interested?
We would be very happy if we could welcome you soon as a new resident in our residence. If you are interested in a room, please apply at the application portal of the Studierendenwerk Aachen. Rooms are sometimes allocated at very short notice. For further information and to view the halls of residence, please contact the Belegungsauschuss.
Who can I contact if something is broken in my room or the shared rooms?
Please contact the janitors. You can reach them via hausmeister@kullenhof.de. Please always provide them with a concrete description of the problem as well as your room number.
Can I sublet my room?
Unfortunately the STW has decided that there can be no subletting at the moment. This will probably change sometime in the future, but as it stands now, there is no way to sublet your room.
(Yes, you can sublet your room for up to 3 months, or up to 6 months if you can prove that you need to stay abroad for your studies. To request for a sublet, you first need to find a student willing to sublet the room from you. Then, please fill out this form in our selfservice. Afterwards, you need to get a couple of signatures:
Someone from your floor can sign as WG-Mitglied. For Belegungsausschuss, you can come to their office during their office hours or put the form in the BA mail box in house 6 and you’ll get it back signed. You can reach Hausmeister in their office in room 4001 or via their contact form.
The signed form has to be handed in to Studierendenwerk at least 14 days before the sublet starts. Please also note the requirements on the form. A sublet can usually not be granted at the end of your contract period or if you’ve already subleased your room within the last 3 months.)
How many people live on each floor?
Generally, 8-16 people live on each floor.
How much is rent?
Rooms with a shared bathroom cost 223-244€ per month, rooms with their own bathroom cost 265-278€ per month.
How big are the rooms?
Rooms with a shared bath are 14-15 square meters, rooms with their own bath are 15-17 square meters.
Do the rooms have their own bathroom?

- "Single rooms" (in total: 322) have a washbasin in the room Zimmer and shared showers and toilets on each floor.
- "Singe rooms with bath" (in total: 157) have their own bath with shower and toilet.
In both cases, you'll share the kitchen with your flatmates.
