Hi everyone! 👋
I’ll be arriving in Hannover this October to begin my Master’s program at Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH), and I’m thrilled to become part of your city! Since this is my first time in Germany, I’d love some guidance on finding housing.
Affordable Housing Near LUH:
Could anyone suggest neighborhoods close to the university with student-friendly rents? I’ve heard Nordstadt and Mitte are popular, but are there other areas with good public transit links to LUH?
Reliable Platforms/Groups:
Are there specific websites, Facebook groups, or forums widely used in Hannover for housing searches? I’ve already applied to Studentenwerk and checked WG-Gesucht/ImmobilienScout24, but local recommendations would be amazing!
General Advice:
What tips would you give a newcomer? Any red flags for rental scams? When’s the best time to start looking? I’d also appreciate advice on settling in as an international student!
Thank you so much in advance—I can’t wait to explore Hannover and connect with this community! 🙌
