Students stay in single rooms and have the choice of half-board, breakfast only or self-catering. Staying with a host family is your opportunity to discover the local way of life through the language and people.

Shared apartment with local residents (WG) (from 18 years, minimum 4 weeks)

ESL-shared-appartment-accommodation-2

Usually called a WG (Wohngemeinschaft), this is a very popular way for students and twenty-somethings to live in Germany. As well as getting good value by living in a shared apartment (around 20–45 minutes from the school by public transport), you will get to know local Germans, whether university students, singles or couples. You will stay in a single furnished room and will share the bathroom and kitchen with your flatmates. Bed linen and bath towels are provided. Household Chores are shared between the roommates.

Hühnerposten Studio Apartments (18-35 years, minimum 4 weeks)

ESL Languages Studio apartments Colon Language Center Hamburg

This residence provides the privacy of a single studio room in a buzzing inner-city atmosphere, located just a 25-minute walk from the school. The room comes fully equipped with a bed, ensuite bathroom, table, chair, and storage space. Linen is provided, but towels are not, both of which can be cleaned in the onsite facilities for a small fee. The residence offers free WiFi and there is no cleaning service provided, so students will need to take care of their own room and common areas. Students will need to cater for themselves using the pantry area with cooking facilities in their apartment. Overall, this student residence provides a convenient and affordable option for students looking for independent living arrangements close to school.
