*Last update:

Several universities in Cologne, such as Universität zu Köln, Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln, and Technische Hochschule Köln, welcome international students, creating a lively young atmosphere. This can make finding a spare room in a shared apartment a bit challenging, but with the Erasmus Play housing search platform, you'll surely find your ideal accommodation. Plus, you’ll get the chance to live with flatmates from different nationalities and cultures.

Advantages and disadvantages of sharing a flat in Cologne

Sharing a flat in Cologne has many pros, but also some cons that you should be aware of.

Advantages of sharing a flat in Cologne

  • Live and interact with German flatmates to learn the language. If your flatmates aren't German, you can still practise English, unless they speak your native language.
  • Use the experience to meet young people from different parts of the world and learn about their cultures.
  • Sharing a flat is more affordable, allowing you to choose better neighbourhoods that are convenient for you. The location of your accommodation will often depend on your university. For example, consider the Latin Quarter, Belgisches Viertel, or Sülz if you attend the University of Cologne.

Disadvantages of sharing a flat in Cologne

  • Some flats prefer non-exchange roommates because they stay longer and tend to have fewer parties. Make sure to check the atmosphere of the house before moving in. Also, many Germans prefer to live with other locals.
  • Look for a room well in advance because demand usually exceeds the supply.
  • Although Cologne's winter is milder than other German cities, you'll need to agree on heating usage with your flatmates to get through the colder months comfortably.

Erasmus Apps for your exchange programme in Cologne

There are several apps for Erasmus+ that offer different resources to students, such as the one from the European Commission. These apps allow you to request a new exchange, complete various procedures, fill out the Learning Agreement, and access discounts and services, among other features.

How to meet people in Cologne

Here are some ways to meet people in this German city, besides befriending your flatmates:

Student associations in Cologne

Student associations like ESN Köln organise events, activities, affordable trips, theme parties, and other gatherings where young people can share their experiences. Also, members usually receive discounts on various services and activities.

Facebook groups for Erasmus students in Cologne

On Facebook, you’ll find groups from both student associations and others organised by academic year. These groups are great for staying updated on planned activities, asking questions about life in Cologne, and connecting with other students.

WhatsApp groups for Erasmus students in Cologne

Student associations, Facebook groups, and other forums often share links to WhatsApp groups for students heading to Cologne. These groups make it easy to stay connected and make plans together.

Tips for living in a shared apartment in Cologne

Keep these tips in mind when sharing a flat in this German city:

  • If you plan to have a party in your flat, remember that some neighbours might not appreciate late-night noise.
  • Choose areas where you can use a bicycle to get around. Biking is the preferred mode of transport for students as it is fun and cheaper than public transport.
  • If you're in Cologne in February, you'll experience the Cologne Carnival, a major cultural celebration with parties, parades, and other exciting events that you’ll definitely enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions about sharing a flat in Cologne
