    HTWG Magazin: Tips for Finding Accommodations in Konstanz (in German)
     

    Here's a Tip: Try looking for accommodations outside of Konstanz. With your Student Ticket (for regional trains and buses), you can commute to Konstanz from nearby cities Allensbach, Radolfzell, Singen, Engen, Stockach, Meersburg, and even Tuttlingen, Sigmaringen or Landschlacht (in Switzerland). These are also attractive places to live, and the rents there are generally cheaper.

This service is intended for seniors, families or people with disabilities who have an extra room and could use help with daily tasks.

      The Seezeit also looks for students who want to save some money on rent and are open to helping their landlord / landlady with such daily tasks. Sign up with us, and we’ll try set you up with those seeking (free of charge). We’re also available if you have questions or challenges.

    Don’t forget to register at the Resident Registration Office (Einwohnermeldeamt)

    All new students in Konstanz are required by law to register at the Resident Registration Office within one week of their arrival here. This registration obligation is still required if you plan to maintain your previous residence (for example, at your parents). If you intend to register Konstanz as your second residence, keep in mind that you will be required to pay a second residence tax. This mainly concerns German students.
