If you would like to find accommodation yourself, here are a few tips:
Apartment or shared flat?
The shared flat (=WG) is one of the most popular forms of accommodation for students in Germany.
What is a WG? Easy to explain: Several people share a flat.
Each person has their own room, kitchen, bathroom and possibly a living room are shared.
Costs such as rent, electricity or internet are also shared.
