The apartment search didn’t work out, but the start of your studies is just around the corner?
Don’t panic! There are various ways to find a place to stay for the first few weeks of the semester, so that you don’t miss the first lectures and seminars and continue your search for accommodation on site.
In addition to dormitory places for permanent living, the Studierendenwerk Hamburg also offers rooms for short-term rent. Here you can live in fully equipped rooms for up to six months to get settled in Hamburg initially.
On the platform WG-gesucht, you can also look for temporary intermediate rentals, if it does not go so well in the search for permanent WG rooms. These rooms are available, for example, because their residents are currently doing an internship in another city or are on a semester abroad. Again, you usually enjoy the comfort of a furnished room and gain time to look for a longer-term place to stay.
If it is only a matter of bridging a few days or weeks, the numerous hostels in Hamburg also offer a good and inexpensive way to buy time on site when looking for accommodation at the start of the semester.
