Accommodation

Berlin is not only attractive for its study programs; its diverse cultural offerings are yet another reason to come to the city. Its popularity, however, does make finding accommodation particularly difficult. Particularly at the start of the semester, you will need to be patient and should start looking for housing as soon as possible.

Students who are flexible about living in Berlin’s outer districts or even beyond in Brandenburg have a good chance of finding affordable housing. TU Berlin is well connected and can be easily and quickly reached by underground, urban rail, bus, and regional trains.
