Accommodation
Housing in German cities is scarce. We apply to student residences and on the private market — without promising a place, and honest about waiting lists.
Where to look for accommodation
Student residences (Studierendenwerk) and private platforms. With Comfort / the Complete programme, we take care of submitting the applications.

Accommodation: start early
Housing in German cities is scarce; without a rental contract it is hard to complete registration (Anmeldung) and the visa procedures. That's why applications are submitted early.
What matters about accommodation
- Types
- student residence / flat share (WG) / apartment
- When to start
- early (housing shortage)
- Why early
- needed for Anmeldung and the visa
Timelines, waiting lists and prices depend on the city and season and are confirmed case by case.
About the “Accommodation” step
This step is part of a single route of 16 steps
The Complete programme runs all stages without gaps: an advisor on call, one deadline calendar, legal visa support and a Guarantee year¹.
¹ Guarantee year. A repeat support cycle at no extra service fee — per the contract terms. Not a guarantee of admission; the decision is made by the university/government body.
