However, acceptance rates for the faculties and institutes range from 87% (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics) to 6.5% (Neilowitz Institute of Medical Sciences); the Neilowitz Institute is the most exclusive school within all of Lungary. Most faculties have acceptance rates between 15% and 30%, making it the most exclusive university in Lungary.

Student life[]
Accommodation[]
Like other universities in Lungary, the University of Munbach does not offer student housing or dormitories. For students who are unable to commute from their homes or find their own apartments, the university owns two blocks of apartments in the Schtein neighborhood of Inner Munbach for students. Students can rent a single bedroom or a double bedroom on a by-semester schedule. All student apartments are shared with other students; the apartments will either contain four single bedrooms ($5,000 per semester), two double bedrooms ($3,500 per semester), or three double bedrooms ($2,000 per semester). Housing is guaranteed for all first-year students, although second-year, third-year, and beyond may not be given a room if demand is too high. Despite the price, the apartments are considered to be undervalued given the high costs of rent in the Schtein neighborhood.
As the university has the highest amount of students who do not live within a commuting distance of their university in the entirety of Lungary, there has been numerous calls for the university to begin offering free on-campus student housing. However, like all other universities in Lungary, the university still has not enacted this.
Klauser[]
The university is divided into four klauser: Berenholtz (red), Neimen (gold), Öper (black), and Zitzger (white). Like in most universities, each klause has its own student government, social events, and sports teams. Each June, the UM Championships occur between the four klauser in a variety of sports. Öper has won the most titles since the championship's inception in 1943, holding 52 titles.
