Accommodation MEGATHREAD - Looking for your Erasmus room/studio?

36 Upvotes

Hey there! Are you about to go on exchange on your Erasmus but haven't found accommodation yet? No worries!

Below are some sites that can help you find accommodation in the country you are going to. So far, all the countries have been listed, so plenty of websites to pick from to get your accommodation ready. Some websites do not have an English version, keep that in mind. And remember:

NEVER PAY WITHOUT SEEING YOUR CONTRACT!

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

None of these websites have paid any sort of advertisement to be featured here nor am I as a moderator receiving any type of commission. I want r/Erasmus users to get their accommodation as cheap, clean and good as possible.

That being said, some websites do request money for you to have a subscription to them. It is your own responsibility if you choose to do this. Every country should have options for free room searching.

This list will stay pinned in the sub to help others. Remember: If you see an accommodation site that is not to be trusted, please let me know! If any site is deemed very untrustworthy, it will be removed instantly.

For (most) Erasmus countries:
Spotahome - https://www.spotahome.com/
Uniplaces - https://uniplaces.com
Housinganywhere - https://housinganywhere.com
Facebook groups
Airbnb - https://airbnb.com Erasmusu - https://erasmusu.com/

Most students find their accommodation through Facebook groups, so make sure to have an account ready and join as many housing groups for your city as you can. Remember that there are also a lot of scams on Facebook. You can recognize these by something being too good to be true (a 500 euro apartment in the city centre of Amsterdam, for example, such a thing costs 2000 minimum) or if the person posting it immediately asks you to pay.

Extra tip for finding accommodation in most Erasmus countries:

- Join the ESN whatsapp groupchats of your city before you go (you can usually find this on links on their instagram page or on their facebook page). Around the end of the semester (december/january, may/june) people start leaving their places and put this inside the groupchat. Take your chance and grab a room from previous Erasmus goers!

Oh oh, HELP! I still have not found accommodation with any of these websites!

Try to go to the subreddit of the city you want to do your semester(s) in and see if you can find anything there. For example, you want to do your Erasmus+ in Rome, so go to r/Rome and search the searchbar for 'housing' 'accommodation' if you cannot find anything make your own post. If nothing there, go to r/Italy. Natives in their own country know the housing market best!

Have you been on Erasmus before (or you've lived in one of these countries and you know the housing market well), tell us which accommodation website is missing and I will add it (if the name is reputable, that is).

Advice eramsus

Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an Italian architecture student trying to decide between two exchange scholarships: one at Newcastle University (UK) and one at UTS Sydney (Australia).

I’ve already done an Erasmus at the University of Kent and I’ve lived in London for a year, so I’m familiar with the UK system and lifestyle. Now I’m trying to understand the academic side of these two options.

I’d love to hear from people who studied architecture (or similar fields) at Newcastle or UTS:

• Which one is more technical in terms of coursework?

• Which one would you say is academically easier or less intense?

• How heavy is the workload compared to European architecture schools?

• And overall — which one would you personally recommend?

I’m trying to choose a program that is strong academically but also manageable during an exchange year.

Any experiences or advice would be super appreciated — thank you!

Questions about Erasmus Mundus

Upvotes

I'm considering applying for an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters around fall, after having graduated. Could someone share their experience doing a EMJM or what they have heard about the program about people who've done this?

Now, I also have some more probably dump questions, but here we go:

1. Is a EMJM a more reputable degree than most "regular" Masters? (I know it probably depends, but I mean in the general sense)

2. Are Erasmus Mundus students like the regular Erasmus students? I mean, does it happen often that they socialize with them or is it more that they make friends from their cohort and that's it?

*For context, last year my Erasmus started and now I realize how much it has changed my life and perspective. I had the time of my life during my last two months there and I definitely want to do another Erasmus. I will probably do an internship next year and I am also considering EMJM. However, I would like that the "stereotypical" Erasmus aspects to apply to my following Erasmus experiences. I know that the EMJM is probably more demanding than doing a semester abroad, but would there still be time for traveling, socializing, maybe partying etc.?

NOTE: I know how incredibly difficult it is to be accepted for an EMJM, I am not delusional, all these questions are according to the hypothetical scenario that I do in fact get accepted.

Good Erasmus city

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanna go in an Erasmus mobility for the first semester of the next academic year, and I'd need some help deciding where.

My first three choices now would be Bordeaux, Granda and Bremen.

What I'm mostly interested in is for the city to be lively, places to hang out, great party spots and maybe some bars with cheap drinks :))

Also a good public transpiration, maybe good night lines too would be super appreciated.

Money wise, I'm looking at 850 euros per month approximately, including rent (most likely a dorm room or a room in a shared apartment so that I can connect more)

Has anyone done an Erasmus in any of these cities? What was your experience?

P.S. Done one year of Erasmus during my BA(I'm now doing my MA) in Budapest, and that was such a great Erasmus city. Maybe looking for a similar vibe to that for where I'll be going

Thanks a lot!!

Erasmus+ semester(s) abroad Erasmus in Belgium as a non-EU citizen (Annex 33)

1 Upvotes

Hello, has anyone done Erasmus in Belgium as a non-EU citizen BUT resident in an EU country? Did you ask for the Annex 33?

My doubt is whether this will be required at some point by the university, because I missed the deadline (30 days before the mobility starts). Classes start in 4 days.

With residence in another EU country, I can stay for 3 months even without this annex. But the mobility lasts 4 months, so will this be a problem (and how)?

What I know so far is that, since I have visa-free entry, once I arrive I will have to go to the local city office and obtain Annex 3 (for 3 months). Then I will have to scan it and send it to the university.

My fear is that at some point the university may ask me for explanations. Also, I will receive an Erasmus scholarship, and it is linked to the number of months I stay there, so I’m afraid this situation could affect my grant.

Is there any way to reverse this situation? In practice, is there still time for my university to submit the Annex 33 application for me? I’m afraid to ask them this and end up being forbidden from going, because I’d rather stay for 3 months than not go at all.

I read about “change of status”, but I don’t know if it applies to mobilities of only one semester. Besides that, you have to pay a fee of more than €200, plus the blocked account, which was the reason why I didn’t apply for the Annex 33.

If anyone has been in a similar situation and could share how it turned out, I would really appreciate it.

Selection Chances/ Person who already got selected having similar profile like me

Greeting!

Guys! I am an Industrial Engineer with a 3.22 CGPA/ 4.00 CGPA in my bachelor's, along with that, I have published a research paper too which is related to materials/ manufacturing. Furthermore, I have 6.5 bands in IELTS and have been active on the co-curricular side as I have been a cabinet member at ASME in my university chapter. So how many chances are there for me to be selected for Meta 4.0 and EMSSE? If I apply for it as the deadline is approaching near as its on 15th Feb. In my FYP, I developed a smart extrusion machine, which I forgot to mention here. So, I would love to give me insights related to it.

Looking for scholarships to study in Italy without having to travel before results are out?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been researching scholarships to study in Italy as a plan b in case my Erasmus Mundus scholarship doesn't work out, but I keep running into scholarships that you apply before going to Italy. However, the scholarship results are announced only after the masters started... which feels risky and very impractical for me. Does anyone know of scholarships or funding opportunities for studying in Italy that announce the results before your masters started ? I’ve seen that some scholarships can be regional ( Veneto, Roma,....) and they vary a lot, so I worry I might not be looking in the right places. Any tips, links, or experiences would be super helpful! Thanks in advance 😊

CLMCE Rejection

1 Upvotes

I just received a rejection email yesterday! I wasn’t expecting to hear from them so quick and the reason they provided was:

Your undergraduate degree and/or its content is not suitable for the program you have applied for.

I have a BA in integrated marketing communications and a minor in media design from a liberal arts university .. do they only accept literature majors? I really don’t get why it should be this limited! Especially for an interdisciplinary program!

Anyone who has had an interview for EMAI before?

Hi!

Maybe someone who was accepted to EMAI in previous years or had an interview before can help me, please?

I know there aren't any results yet, but I'd like to be prepared in case.

What kind of questions can I expect? Questions about data science?

I chose the Data Science track. I'm a little worried because my previous experience is mostly in deep learning and computer vision, rather than data science per se, but the courses in this track are the ones that best align with what I already know and what I want to learn.

Thanks!

Rant Erasmus student struggling

3 Upvotes

I’m an Erasmus student and I arrived in Lisbon just a few days ago. Unfortunately, my first apartment turned out to be in very bad condition (mold, dirt, water leakage), and the whole situation has been extremely stressful since I just arrived and don’t know the city well yet.

Because of this, I recently moved to an apartment near Martim Moniz. However, after moving in, several people told me that the area can be dangerous, especially at night, and now I’m feeling very anxious and discouraged.

I wanted to ask people who actually live in or near Martim Moniz:

• How is it really on a day-to-day basis?

• Is it safe if you’re careful?

• Are there specific streets or situations to avoid?

• Any advice for someone new to Lisbon?

I don’t want to judge the area unfairly and I’m just trying to feel safe and settle down after a rough start. Any honest experiences or advice would really help.

Anyone in Madrid ?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys ! I’m doing my Erasmus in Madrid, it’s been a little difficult connecting with people from people in my uni, everyone seems to have come here in groups or already country based friendships. I did make a few friends but they were only here for the first semester, so if anyone is here for the second semester and would like to do stuff I would love to! I’ve discovered quite a bit of the city so I know some cool spots, let me know :)
