In Germany, if I get admission, do I need to worry about accommodation or is it sorted?

No, accommodation is not automatically sorted when you get admission in Germany. You will need to arrange your own housing.

Student dormitories managed by Studierendenwerke are affordable but have limited spots and high demand, so early application is essential. If you don't secure a dorm room, shared apartments (WG) and private rentals are common alternatives, though private options are usually more expensive.

Start your accommodation search as soon as you receive your admission letter. Your university’s International Office can help guide you through the process.
