From the host institution:

Berlin is an exciting place to study for many students, but studying in the capital city also comes with some challenges. The biggest difficulty is certainly finding a place to live.

Berlin is a city with a great shortage of housing. With the increasing number of international students, it is unfortunately more and more difficult for students to find accommodation. The search for accommodation often involves a lot of effort, and sadly, frustration.

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin does not have its own student dormitories. We offer a limited number of rooms for international program students in two Berlin student dormitories, for which students can apply with us. However, we cannot guarantee accommodation for all students and usually the request far exceeds our contingent. Students who cannot be offered a room have to look for accommodation on their own.
 
We would like to emphasize that the housing situation in Berlin is very difficult and can cause a lot of stress for international students. Although we try to support students in the best possible way, we can unfortunately only provide advice to students looking for accommodation.
 
On the private housing market, most rooms and apartments can be found a month in advance. However, the start of the semester is always a very busy time, so please be patient and don't be surprised if you need to find short-term accommodation in the first few weeks of your stay. It is often easier to find an apartment or a room if you’re already in Berlin. We recommend that you anticipate a monthly rent of 600 euros for a room and 1000 euros for a one-room apartment.
