WG refers to an abbreviation of the German word, Wohngemeinschaft, namely ‘flatshare’ or ‘shared apartment’. Most students in Germany share a flat during their university years. We offer rooms in a flatshare for you to experience the German way of living as a student.
The rooms are offered from local residents like students or sometimes families. Your roommates would be mixed of gender. They would be local Germans, German students, international students, or it is possible that your flat mates are on holiday during that time. In that case, the owners of the room or their roommates will leave you with some instructions.
Please notice that Living in a WG is an experience of Living as a German student. Every room has a unique style of its owner and represents their creativity. Furniture and decorations are not standardised but you live in someones home for a while.
A lot of our Summer School students find this living experience very rewarding!
The offers of WG spaces are limited. We do the matching after confirming your reservation. Please notice that we may consider some specific requests but cannot guarantee that the rooms will match all of your specific expectations.
