FIND YOUR ACCOMMODATION
It is always better to arrive to your destination with a previously reserved accomodation. It will make the adaptation process easier and you will have less worries and problems once you are in the city!
However if you do not have accommodation when you arrive then it's a good idea to stay in a hostel for two or three days while you visit potential flats, but don't wait around for too long otherwise there won't be any rooms left!
Now days and with our help it is quit easy to find an accommodation in your hosting city. Here we explain you some details and give you some tips that you have to have in mind in order to find the best option for you!

There are 3 main types of accommodation you can choose from:
- a bedroom in shared flat / or whole flat
- students residence
- co-living with a local family
- a bedroom in shared flat / or whole flat
- students residence
- co-living with a local family
If you go for renting a room in a students flat / or whole flat:
ADVANTAGES: leaving with students form different countries, liberty to invite persons to your room at any time, having your own schedule, possibility to organize meetings with your new friends, sharing experiences, affordable prices for everybody, normally it is close on walking distance to your study institution.
DISADVANTAGES: no catering and laundry services, no cleaning service (but normally it can be contracted as extra), no extra facilities like pool, gym, cinema, library, gardens, parking.
HOW TO FIND: We strongly recommend to use services of your local YEAH! hosting organization and their partner housing companies - you will have guarantees of the best service. There will be always a renting contract with all conditions, clear price policy and the accommodation you are choosing will does exist. Depending on the provider conditions there may exit agency fees - but it worth affording this expense in order to get the correct and trustful service before you are coming, during your stay and after your leave.
As well you can go for looking for the room in multiple social media groups and pages - it is more risky although the rental condition could look cheaper or there could be no any agency fees. But in this case we don't recommend to pay nothing in advance - you could be scammed and on your arrival the real estate could be non-existent.
BE SMART & DON'T LET ANYBODY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU!
Another option a lot of students go for is a student residence:
ADVANTAGES: great facilities (gym, cinema, pool, library, big meeting space), cleaning and cuttering services, parking.
DISADVANTAGES: high price list, established hours for receiving visits and using facilities
HOW TO FIND: in your local YEAH! hosting organization you will be informed on available options. As well in your University there is always information about their partner residence companies. If you go for this option make sure to get your spot before you arrive.
If you are coming to the city not for a long period and you want to immerse yourself in a local life style you can always go for co-living with a family:
ADVANTAGES: sharing life with locals, their traditions, cuisine, learning language, affordable prices
DISADVANTAGES: a family puts rules, mostly for sure there is no option to bring a friend for stay over.
HOW TO FIND: you can always ask in your local YEAH! housing organization. As well you can search up in internet for these announcements.
So are you ready for this exiting experience? WELCOME TO THE BEST YEAR OF YOUR LIFE!
