HU does not guarantee a room for every student. International guidance points students toward Studierendenwerk Berlin and private housing, while the four-campus layout means commute time matters when comparing accommodation. Applicants should budget for rent, food, health insurance, local transport and the semester contribution separately; the amount and ticket arrangements can change by semester, so use the current HU enrolment guidance before paying.

Berlin offers broad international grocery and restaurant options, and HU campuses provide canteens and cafeterias through Studierendenwerk Berlin. HU does not publish a university-wide guarantee for any particular dietary pattern on the institutional page. Students with allergies, religious requirements or medical diets should check current menus and nearby shops for their campus and accommodation before arrival.

HU is distributed across four principal campuses: historic Campus Mitte, the mathematics and natural-sciences hub at Adlershof, agricultural sciences at Dahlem and life-science facilities at Campus Nord. HU reports 37,222 students, 518 professorships and 12 university-library locations on its current institutional overview. Students should check the exact teaching location because the university also has many additional sites across Berlin.

HU provides central counselling, international-student guidance, accessibility support, libraries and student services across its locations. Berlin is a large city, so students should use normal urban safety practices and keep emergency, housing, insurance and registration contacts accessible. Programme location and late travel between campuses should be checked when planning accommodation and daily routines. International applicants can use HU's application guidance, the Compass information point and the International Office. Applicants with non-German school or university qualifications normally apply through uni-assist, while the exact route depends on the programme and the applicant's status. HU also provides counselling, language support, library services, career guidance and doctoral support through the Humboldt Graduate School and structured graduate programmes.
