German courses with accommodation
Sprachenatelier offers participants registered for German courses
assistance in finding accommodation
in apartments, a room in a shared
apartments, hotels or hostels—all in the vicinity of the school.
Prices for a room in a shared apartment vary between 200 to 400€ per
month, depending on the size and furnishing of the room. Although we do
our best to fulfill the accommodation requirements of all of our
students, it is important for course participants to note that early
registration improves the likelihood of finding the desired form of
accommodation.
Hostels are the best accommodation for short durations (less than one
month), as they are inexpensive starting at 10€ per night.
Sprachenatelier also can make arrangements for course participants to
stay in room in one of the student dormitories of the Berliner
Studentenwerk. Staying with a host family in Berlin is a good option for
younger students.
Hostels
Hostels offer budget accommodation for backpackers and other individual
travelers who seek a more communal environment and contact with other
young people while valuing inexpensive prices over privacy or luxury.
Hostels offer rooms with multiple beds, typically ranging from two beds
(more expensive) up to 12 or more (less expensive).
Sprachenatelier cooperates with the following hostels, all of which are conveniently located near the school:
Odyssee Globetrotter Hostel
The Sunflower Hostel
All of these hostels are conveniently located near Sprachenatelier,
either a short distance on the public transport or walking distance
(Odysee), and are conveniently situated amidst numerous cafes, bars,
inexpensive restaurants and clubs as well as tourist sites such as the
famous East Side Gallery section of the former Berlin Wall.
Student-shared flat
Another form of accommodation for students who wish to have daily
contact with other (especially German-speaking) people is to rent a room
in a shared flat (Wohngemeinschaft - WG for short). Berlin WGs vary
greatly in occupancy—from two to 20 housemates. Whether it's sharing
breakfast, cooking, talking or partying, a room in a shared flat
provides students with opportunities to socialize in German and is a
good option for a long or short stay.
Berlin also has an array of city magazines and daily newspaper which
list room and apartment re
ntals. The current monthly price for a room in a shared apartment ranges from 200 to 400 Euros.
On the Internet you can find "WGs auf Zeit" on the following pages:
Ferienwohnung Berlin - 300 Ferienwohnungen
Student dormitories
A quieter alternative to a shared flat is living in a student dormitory.
These are not as expensive as your own flat and you can decide if you
would like to live in a (furnished) room by yourself or shared with
ot
her occupants. Living in student dormitories is also very suitable for people who are only in Germany for a short time, for example for an internship or language course.
Host family
Accommodation with a host family is chosen in particular by younger
students from abroad who come to Germany for a language course or for a
school exchange year. A host family offers you your own comfortable
room, a nice family who are caring and attuned to the needs of foreign
visitors and who make you feel at home.
