Lodging

Finding a lodging: the AAA (Akademisches Auslandsamt) gives the students information about real state agencies or lodging advertisements outside the university, and helps them to obtain a room in the university residence.

Lodging options: the student can choose between university residences, single or shared apartments, and family houses.

University Residences: as they are part of the heart of the university life, the university residences are quite peculiar in Germany. They may have small rooms with private kitchen and bath, or be a small house or floor with several rooms, and shared kitchen and bath. There are also many halls: the Partyraum, to organize the celebrations of the residence, the library, the university restaurant, the bar and the chapel.
In these residences the atmosphere is very pleasant and quiet to facilitate the study. The prices are very cheap (compared with the ones of a rent, usually higher). But it is really difficult to obtain a vacancy, and it is necessary to book with a lot of anticipation.

Renting an apartment: rents in Germany are usually quite expensive, this is the reason why it is better to investigate in advance to find a cheap apartment . The students residences have better prices. These are organized by institutions called Studentenwerk. There, the student can find all the information. All the rooms are usually furnished, but with few kitchen utensils. The prices depend on the quality and location of the house, and it is possible to choose between a rent with or without services.

Shared Apartment: Other type of lodging is the WGs or Wohngemeinschaft, which means shared floor. These floors are shared between 2 and 5 people. This one is a good option for those students who travel by themselves and want to share their experiences with other students.

Other options: you can also look for other lodgings in the local newspapers, advertisements boards in universities, or real estate agencies. You should consider that the real estate agencies usually require two months for commission.
