Advantages and disadvantages of sharing a flat in Hamburg

Here are some pros and cons of living in a shared flat in this German city:

Advantages of sharing a flat in Hamburg

  • Sharing a flat is cheaper than renting a full apartment, allowing you to choose accommodation in your favourite neighbourhoods, whether it’s near the city centre, universities, or green areas.
  • If you have German or German-speaking roommates, you can practise the language, which will be beneficial both in the city and in your professional life.

Disadvantages of sharing a flat in Hamburg

  • Some shared flats are located in neighbourhoods far from the city centre. However, Hamburg’s public transport system is excellent, so make sure to check how you can get around the city from your accommodation.
  • Germans might seem distant and reserved at first. Therefore, living with roommates from different nationalities can also be an interesting and enriching experience.

Erasmus Apps for your exchange programme in Hamburg

There are several apps designed for Erasmus+ students to simplify the exchange process. These applications can help you validate subjects, start certain procedures, access a student community, answer questions, and learn about other young people’s experiences in Hamburg. You’ll also find tips from other students, like the best places to go out in the Sternschanze or Reeperbahn areas, which are popular among students.

How to meet people in Hamburg

If you're sharing a flat, start by connecting with your roommates. Also, you can consider the following options:

Student associations in Hamburg

One of the most prominent associations for international students is the Erasmus Social Network (ESN). This volunteer organisation promotes student integration through different activities and events. When you arrive in the city, join ESN Hamburg to participate in events and get an ESN card for discounts and other student benefits.

Facebook groups for Erasmus students in Hamburg

On Facebook, you can join the ESN Hamburg group to stay updated on their plans and activities. There are also other groups like "Erasmus Hamburg", where you can see upcoming events and ask any questions you may have.

Tips for living in a shared apartment in Hamburg

Here are some tips to keep in mind when living in a shared flat in Hamburg:

  • While the weather is warmer than in other parts of Germany, winters are still quite cold. Check the heating system in your apartment and discuss any rules or schedules for its use with your roommates.
  • If smoking bothers you, or anyone in the apartment, talk to your roommates to agree on a policy that works for everyone. In Germany, smoking is allowed in many places, so some of your roommates might smoke indoors.
