I'm not sure that's the case in Munich. There are special arrangements for exchange students, but it seems that everyone else is treated in the same way. For university accommodation there are waiting lists for various buildings, with waiting times of up to two years. In order to give new students a chance to get accommodation at all, they hold a lottery every semester exclusively for new students. If you don't win, then you're put on the waiting list with your original date of application. Oh, and all this is possible only for students of low income (who are eligible for BaföG).
