In the refectory, students can get a free children's plate for their children up to the age of 15 if they eat a main course themselves. This is a half portion of a regular meal, which can be selected from the daily specials. The prerequisite is the presentation of an ID card at the cash desk. This can be obtained from the Studierendenwerk Gießen "Advice & Service" department. The ID card is issued upon presentation of the birth certificate and the student ID card.

There are also high chairs for small children, a nappy-changing room and a play corner in the refectory.

There are three flats for families with children in the Studierendenwerk hall of residence at Wiesenmühlenstraße 3 and 5.

There is also an exchange for private housing providers in the rooms of the Fulda branch of the Studierendenwerk.
