Living & Residing in Brandenburg an der Havel Welcome to Brandenburg an der Havel! 🇩🇪 Finding accommodation is one of the most important steps before starting your studies. In this video, we explain the available housing options and share practical tips to help you find your new home. What you'll learn in this video 💬 Why you should start early Student accommodation is limited, especially before the semester begins. Begin your search as early as possible to have more choices and avoid unnecessary stress. 💬Look beyond Berlin and Potsdam Many students initially search in Berlin or Potsdam, but accommodation there is often more expensive and harder to find. Consider nearby towns such as: Premnitz Rathenow Kirchmöser Your Semester Ticket is valid as a Deutschlandticket, giving you access to regional public transport across Germany, making commuting to TH Brandenburg convenient and affordable. Accommodation options 💬 Studierendenwohnheim (Student Residence) Student residences offer affordable rooms designed specifically for students. They are a great way to meet fellow students and usually include shared kitchens and common areas. At TH Brandenburg, student housing is provided by Studierendenwerk West:Brandenburg. The available rooms are managed by the Studierendenwerk, and demand is often high. Apply as early as possible to increase your chances of receiving a room. WG (Shared Apartment) 💬 A "Wohngemeinschaft" (WG) is a shared apartment where you have your own bedroom while sharing the kitchen, bathroom, and living areas with other tenants. This is one of the most popular and affordable options for students. 💬 Private Apartment Private apartments provide greater independence and privacy but are generally more expensive. Depending on the apartment, you may also need to arrange furniture, internet, electricity, and other utilities yourself. Beware of accommodation scams Unfortunately, rental scams do exist. Stay safe by following these tips: Never send money before signing a legitimate rental agreement. Never pay a deposit without verifying the accommodation. Be cautious if the rent seems unusually cheap. Avoid landlords who refuse video calls or property viewings. Verify the identity of the landlord whenever possible. If something feels suspicious, seek advice before making any payment. Need help?
