2. <strong>The</strong> regions of origin of the occupants of the student<br />

residences owned by the <strong>Studentenwerke</strong><br />

31 <strong>Studentenwerke</strong> could give details on the regions of origin of the <strong>for</strong>eign<br />

occupants of the residences owned by the <strong>Studentenwerke</strong>. At an average<br />

share of 30.1% of <strong>for</strong>eign occupants at the residences, this only results in an<br />

insignificant deviation from the already named average of <strong>for</strong>eign inhabitants<br />

of the residences (31.8%).<br />

Regions of origin of the occupants of the residences<br />

Germany<br />

According to the categories pre-determined in the survey, students from<br />

China (5.5%) represent the largest group of <strong>for</strong>eign occupants of student<br />

residences in Germany, followed by students from Eastern Europe (without<br />

the Russian Federation) at 5.3%, and the EU (including Norway/Switzerland)<br />

at 5.2%. <strong>The</strong> results of the 16 th social survey of the Deutsches Studentenwerk<br />

“Internationalisation of Studies” 7 are reflected here, according<br />

to which the students from the Eastern European states and China recorded<br />

the highest growth rates from 1997 to 2000.<br />

<strong>Students</strong> from the Asian region (without China), Africa (without the Arab<br />

states), the Arab states, and the Russian Federation are represented with a<br />

share of 3.6 to 2.1%. At 1.0% and 0.8%, <strong>Students</strong> from Central/South<br />

America and from the USA/Canada constitute a relatively small share of the<br />

occupants of the residences.<br />

An overview of the origins of the share of <strong>for</strong>eign occupants of residences in<br />

the area of responsibility of the individual <strong>Studentenwerke</strong> listed by regions<br />

of origin can be found in the appendix.<br />
