Finding Accommodation
The best way for new students to find rooms in shared appartments or other accommodation is through daily newspapers, local magazines, posters or accommodation exchanges on the Internet. Here is a small selection:
Local daily newspapers in Erfurt, e.g.
Thüringische Landeszeitung (TLZ)
Free advertising newspapers, e.g.
Local magazines, e.g.
Websites for shared student apartments, holiday rentals, temporary accommodation, e.g.
www.deutschland-monteurzimmer.de
Real estate websites, e.g.
Housing companies and housing cooperatives
Facebook-accommodation exchange of the FH Erfurt
It can also be helpful to place your own ad and put up posters on notice boards. Especially at the turn of the semester, the bulletin boards at the university are usually full of notices from people offering or seeking accommodation.
