Accommodation
- Finding accommodation in Tübingen is problematic. The worst time to search is in late summer/early fall before the beginning of the fall term. Avoid if at all possible.
- If you want to go for student housing, apply as early as possible. You can apply before you have received an offer!
- If you are looking for a shared flat, try WG-gesucht and Studenten-WG (WG stands for shared flat in German).
- There's also a university accommodation page.
