Accommodation Information for Students
Here at BSBI, we’re more than happy to assist our students with finding the best accommodation and are ready to advise you while considering your budget and preferences. Although BSBI does not provide on-campus accommodation or can guarantee housing, there’s still a lot we can do to help you find somewhere to live during your studies with us in Berlin.
HOW IT WORKS
Online Booking
Once you have received your visa and are ready to fly out, you can begin searching for accommodation through our partners Spotahome and Uniplaces.
Connecting
You can then contact your landlord and reserve your preferred property. Multilingual customer services are available to you to support you through the process of finding accommodation.
Tenancy Agreement
Documents and tenancy agreements will then be signed when you check in. All students must register their residency in Berlin within 14 days of moving into their accommodation.
Flat share
You can choose from a single, double or a twin room if you decide to share accommodation with flatmates. Flat shares are a great way to meet new people and share the international student experience with others.
Prices will vary depending on size, location and furnishings.
Shared rooms: Rent can start from €380 per person each month
Single rooms: Prices can start from €450 per person each month for a single room in a shared house
Studio/Flat accommodation
We can also help you find individual accommodation like studio apartments and flats. There are many options to choose from from Zone 1 (city centre) to Zone 4 (outskirts).
Central Berlin prices

The payment won’t be released to the advertiser until two days after you have moved in, so your money is kept in safe keeping until you are settled in. This can also prevent you from falling victim to a scam.
