Keep in mind that several students from previous years recommend knowing at least a little German before arriving, which you will be able to complement with the courses that are taught at the universities. In this way, you will be able to interact with local people more easily.
Are you looking for student accommodation in Bielefeld? As a first recommendation, start looking as soon as you can. Finding an accommodation that meets all your preferred characteristics, with a good location and affordable can be a complicated task. However, and as a second recommendation, we advise you to use the Erasmus Play housing search engine, in which you will be able to easily compare between the different apartments and verified rooms from a multitude of online platforms. You will surely find accommodation that meets everything you want quickly!
Two of the alternatives that you will find when searching for accommodation in Bielefeld are different types of flats. On one side are the flats with two or more rooms, which the students rent to be able to live with other young people. Some of the advantages of this type of accommodation are that it is usually cheap, because the cost of rent and utility bills are divided among all who live there, and it allows sharing the experience closely with other students who are in the same situation.
On the other hand, in Bielefeld, you will also find studio flats, with a capacity for one or two people (if it is a couple). The cost of these is usually higher, but you will not have to share common areas such as the bathroom, kitchen or living room.
For reference, the cost of a multi-room apartment in Bielefeld starts at € 1,100 and up and a studio flat starts at € 700 per month.
Do you want to rent a room in a shared apartment in Bielefeld? Most of those that you will find in this German city are individual rooms. They are usually fully furnished, with all the necessities for a student, such as a bed, bedding, wardrobe, desk and chair.
The cost of a room in a shared apartment usually goes from € 300 onwards, but it always depends on the characteristics of the room and the apartment itself, as well as the location of the apartment.
Another aspect that you have to consider to find your ideal accommodation is the location in which it is located. Each neighbourhood of the city presents different characteristics and advantages for students. For this reason, below we will tell you which are some of the most chosen areas every year by young students, as well as the characteristics for which they stand out.
This neighbourhood, called Mitte in German, has the most frequented places of interest, entertainment and culture by young people. Here you will find the historic centre of the city and a multitude of restaurants, bars, discos, shops, museums, among others.
The Stadtwerke area is located north of the centre of Bielefeld, on the other side of the main train station from it. Here there are also several affordable restaurants and shops for students.
This neighbourhood is convenient if you are going to Bielefeld University, although you have to bear in mind that it is located about 30 minutes by public transport from the city centre.
The following are the institutions most chosen by international young people for their mobility in Bielefeld:
This university has several campuses in the city, many of them recently built and all located in the same area. The university complex is located west of the centre of Bielefeld, about 25 minutes away by public transport, in the Wellensiek area.
This private institution has a campus that is located to the east of the city, in a technology centre. They usually organize many activities for students, including conferences and sporting events.
The building in which this institution is located in Bielefeld is in the centre of the city, next to the historic centre. Thanks to this, you will be able to access this university from most of the Bielefeld neighbourhoods, since it has a very good public transport connection.
In Bielefeld, there are some student residences that you will be able to consider when looking for accommodation, although it is not usually the preferred alternative for students. This is because in residences there are usually rules and regulations to follow that condition the lives of young people, who tend to prefer rooms in shared flats to have more freedom and independence.
