Note that you need to apply for a room in Nordhausen or Jena?(depending on the place of your chosen Studienkolleg; deadline: 15 July for the winter semester / 15 January for the summer semester), because the Studienkolleg is located on the campus of the Hochschule Nordhausen - University of Applied Sciences.
