Dormitory applications and private‑rental search strategies.

Document prep: proof of accommodation for visa/residence, landlord letters, and translations where required.

Lease review: deposits, utility terms, notice periods, and inventory checks.

Accommodation types University dormitories

Affordable and social option with shared rooms. Spots are limited and often allocated by the university—apply early and rank preferences.

Shared apartments (private rental)

Rent a room in a multi‑bedroom flat with other students. Utilities are usually split; check whether common charges and internet are included.

Studios and one‑bedroom flats

Independent living with higher costs. Ideal for couples or students who prefer privacy.

Student residences/private dorms

Purpose‑built residences run by private companies; prices sit between dorms and studios and often include furniture and utilities.

Short‑term stays

Use hostels/hotels or temporary dorm rooms for the first 1–2 weeks if you need time to view apartments in person.
