Feeling overwhelmed about moving to Wroclaw on your own, especially without knowing Polish or the local culture? Consider living in a shared flat. Whether you end up with Polish roommates or internationals, moving into a place where other students already live can make your transition smoother. Plus, if your roommates attend the same university as you—like the University of Wroclaw or Wroclaw University of Technology—they can help you with all the paperwork when you arrive.

As in any city, sharing an apartment in Wroclaw has its pros and cons. Here are the most significant ones:
Using Erasmus+ apps can provide you with plenty of useful information for your exchange, including instructions for paperwork and advice from other students. One popular tip from former students is to take advantage of Wroclaw's central location in Europe. Not only in a great base for travelling around Poland, but also to nearby countries like Germany, Hungary, or the Czech Republic.
If you decide to live in a shared flat, you'll have the chance to make friends with your flatmates as soon as you arrive. Here are other ways to meet other young people:
The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is a go-to for international students in Wroclaw. You can join ESN PWr at the Polytechnic University of Wroclaw or ESN UE Wroclaw at the University of Economics and Business. With these associations you’ll get to meet young people from all over the world.
Joining Facebook groups of the ESN at your university allows you to stay updated on events and activities. These activities can include city tours, theme parties, affordable trips to places like Bielawa, and even canoeing on the Odra River, which is a great way to experience the “Venice of the North” from the water.
You will find several WhatsApp groups created by other students and the ESN. These groups are great for meeting other international students with similar interests and staying connected with new friends.
Here are some tips to help you make the most of your time in Wroclaw:
The average cost of a spare room in a shared apartment is around €200 per month, but prices can begin at €130 per month.
Use online communities like Erasmus Play, where you can also rent a spare room in a shared flat or an entire apartment and find your flatmates.
Many former students suggest joining the ESN at your university, such as ESN PWr or ESN UE Wroclaw. Also, you can use Facebook and WhatsApp groups to meet new people and stay in touch.
Sharing a flat helps you avoid loneliness by making friends with your flatmates right from the start. It also allows you to save on rental costs, giving you more budget for activities and trips to other cities.
Before moving in, ask about the apartment's basic rules to understand how living together will be. For example, how the cleaning schedule works, policies on receiving visitors or hosting parties, smoking inside the apartment, and quiet hours to ensure everyone’s comfort.
