But this is when landlords and Berlin student accommodation providers begin advertising available properties for the upcoming academic year. First-year and international students generally start looking in January for student flats or shared accommodation in Berlin. It'll be better to start your search as early as possible to have a wider selection of student apartments in Berlin and to secure the best deals.

Staying Safe in Berlin Student Accommodation
Safety can be one of the biggest concerns for students and their families. It's understandable since Berlin as the capital of Germany and a metropolis has a relatively higher crime rate. But don't worry, your safety is also our top concern.
- Landlords and accommodation providers: uhomes.com has reviewed the landlords and providers carefully and thoroughly before being offered for rent on our websites.
- Safety Measures: The selected student apartments in Berlin have strict measures to ensure the safety of residents, typically including 24/7 security personnel, CCTV cameras, and secure access systems.
In addition, it's also very important to find a neighborhood with a lower crime rate and a safer living environment, such as Charlottenburg, Steglitz-Zehlendorf, and Prenzlauer Berg.
Roommates for Student Dorms in Berlin
Who you live with can be another important factor that impacts your experience when living in a student dorm in Berlin. Whether you can live harmoniously with one or more people is sometimes a matter of luck. If your randomly matched roommates have very different living habits and schedules from you and often make noise, then your life in Berlin accommodation will not be very pleasant. So it's recommended that you choose a student apartment in Berlin that you like first, and then invite friends or classmates who are already familiar with you to move in and share the rent. Finding roommates in social media groups is a good idea as well, such as the Facebook group for Free University of Berlin graduate students.
If you think this is troublesome, we are also very happy to provide you with roommate roommate-matching service. Tell us the room type of the student housing in Berlin you've selected, and the requirements for your roommate(s). We will do our best to help you find a compatible roommate.
