Organisation

The Genossenschaft Studentenheim Basel was founded in 1962 in order to build a student residence. The first - male - students moved in in 1965, since
1982 we also accommodate female students.
The members of the Board of the cooperative work on a voluntary basis. The residents of Studentenheim elect among them two students as representatives in
the Board; this election takes place during the annual assembly in autumn.
Director of the residence is Ms Sylvia Marelli-Winter.
With its excellent infrastructure, its many possibilities of passing time and with the rewarding mixture of students from all over the world Studentenheim Basel

Statements
As an expat who arrives in any country for the first time your immediate wish is to live in an accommodation which is clean, affordable, good located and reasonable equipped and which
has other tenants who are also in a similar position as you. Studentenheim Basel manages to offer all of the above and more. It provides a platform for many young students. I have made
friends from the Studentenheim which I still know now and have helped me in knowing more about Basel. (P.T., England)
Das Studentenheim Basel bot mir die einmalige Möglichkeit, mich hier in der Schweiz in ein sehr internationales Umfeld einzuleben, von den Erfahrungen älterer Mitbewohner aus anderen
Fachgebieten zu profitieren und dank der fairen Mietzinsen des Wohnheimes im unabhängigen Leben schnell Fuss zu fassen. (J.H., St. Gallen)
I specially appreciated the friendly atmosphere. I met amazing people from Switzerland, they helped me to adapt in Basel and gave me useful advice for my study. I had a chance to
discover other cultures with people coming from the whole world. The students consider the Residence as their home. (E.G., Czech Republic)
In Studentenheim there is a great sense of student community and it also allows students to find a meeting point where some activities are carried out in convenient student centered
environment. It is one of the best options for living in Basel. (L.Q., Spain)
Die Schweiz zu entdecken, neue Freunde und Kulturen kennen zu lernen, sich in eine neue Gemeinschaft zu integrieren, das alles beginnt schon im Studentenheim. Ganz automatisch
wird man eingebunden in die internationale Atmosphäre und lernt neue Sichtweisen kennen, die in der Folge das eigene Weltbild mitprägen. Wertschätzung, Entgegenkommen und
Flexibilität werden dadurch weiterentwickelt. Durch dieses Eingebundensein in die Gemeinschaft habe ich mich auch immer wohl gefühlt in Basel, das Studentenwohnheim hat mir Schutz
geboten und eine feste Verankerung. Die Nähe zur Uni, die Architektur des Baus mit seinem Bezug zu englischen Colleges und den beiden begrünten Innenhöfen, empfand ich als sehr
reizvoll. (S.D., Österreich)
Studentenheim not only lived up to my expectation but exceeded beyond by a considerable margin! The atmosphere inside the Studentenheim is really wonderful. The obvious other
advantage to living there is the fact that one gets to meet lots of other fellow students, from all across the world and they get to mingle and get together, which harbours lots of positive
experiences. I had the chance to meet and get acquainted with so many different people, learn about their different fields of studies as well as their persona and the places they are from.
(A. N., India)
Ich habe eine wichtige Zeit meines Lebens im Studentenheim verbracht. Meine Mitbewohner wurden zu einer Art Familie, mit vielen habe ich heute weiterhin Kontakt. Die Zeit in Basel hat
mich sehr geprägt. Für mich war dies ein Inbegriff der Schweiz, weil ich aus einem viel ärmeren Land komme, wo solche Möglichkeiten leider nicht vorhanden sind. (V.S., Serbien)
The Studentenheim Basel is a place of beneficial for all students (international and local). It is one of the few places in Basel where young intellectuals from different cultures meet and
share their social and academic experiences together. On my side all that was possible because Studentenheim has been a good orientation in understanding Switzerland. (A.L., Tanzania)
Die im Studentenheim gelebte Durchmischung verschiedener Kulturen, Studienrichtungen und Studienniveaux ermöglicht einen permanenten Austausch. So entsteht ein bereichernder
fachlicher Austausch zwischen verschiedenen Studienrichtungen, die gewisse Verwandtschaften aufweisen. Nebst des fachlichen Austausches erweitert das Studentenheim dank seiner
einzigartigen Zusammenstellung den kulturellen Hintergrund und ermöglicht Bekanntschaften zwischen allen Weltregionen. (F.M., Luzern)
