Hi everyone! I’m an incoming international MSc student at the University of Freiburg, starting this winter semester, and I’m currently stuck between two student accommodation options. I’d really appreciate some honest opinions from people who have lived in either of these places.
Option 1: Studentensiedlung am Seepark (StuSie), Haus 56
Private furnished room: 11.9 m²
10 people sharing one floor
4 bathrooms
Shared kitchen/common facilities
Rent: €300/month
Very close to Seepark
My biggest concern: I have absolutely no idea what a “10-person floor” actually feels like. Is it basically 10 private rooms along a corridor with shared facilities, or is it more like one large WG? How social/noisy is it in practice?
I’ve also heard there is construction around Haus 54, which seems to be close to Haus 56. Does anyone currently living there know how much of an issue the construction is?
Option 2: Campus Airport
4 people sharing
I believe the setup is a smaller WG with shared kitchen/bathroom
More people per person? Actually less crowded, obviously
But I’m wondering whether the location/living environment is as good as StuSie.
The rent difference isn’t my only concern. I’m trying to decide what would be better for actually living there for a whole year having privacy and peace, making friends, cleanliness, kitchen/bathroom situation, noise, location, etc.
For people who have lived in StuSie/Haus 56 or Campus Airport, what would you choose if you were in my position
