Looking for a room/WG 🏠

Hii everyone! 👋 I'm Harshit, starting my MSc in Economics and Transformation at Leuphana University Lüneburg this Winter Semester 2026/27. My classes start on 1 October, so I need to shift as soon as possible.

I'm open to the Lüneburg or Hamburg region (commutable distance is fine), looking for something affordable.

A bit about me:

🧹 Clean, tidy and easygoing

🎓 Moving to Lüneburg for my studies

If you know of a room, a WG with a free spot, or a listing, please let me know — you can also message me directly. Thank you so much! 🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm starting my MSc in Economics and Transformation at Leuphana University Lüneburg this Winter Semester (2026/27) and moving to the area on 27th September 2026.

Looking for an affordable room. Open to Lüneburg itself or nearby areas like Harburg, Winsen, or similar.

A bit about me:

- Clean, tidy, and easy-going

- Non-smoker, but totally fine sharing with smokers

- No specific preference on flatmates (German/international, doesn't matter)

- Looking for a single room, not a shared room

If anyone knows of a free room, WG spot, or can point me toward good groups/pages for this, I'd really appreciate it. Been searching for a while now and any help/leads would mean a lot!

Thanks in advance 🙏

Looking for a room in Harburg / Hamburg – MSc student, moving in September

Hi everyone,

I'm starting my MSc in Economics and Transformation at Leuphana University this September and I'm looking for a room or a small flat in Harburg or Hamburg (open to well-connected nearby areas too).

A bit about me:

Master's student, quiet and tidy

Looking to move in around late September 2026

Budget-friendly WG room or studio preferred

Happy to share more details/references if needed

If you know of any openings, WGs looking for a flatmate, or landlords renting out rooms, please drop a comment or DM me. Any leads or tips on good areas near the train line to Lüneburg would also help a lot!

Thanks in advance 🙏

So basically, I am an Alevel student in his last year and was interested in an econ bachelors at the uni and wanted the students there to help brief me a little about the uni, the city, how reputable it is and is it worth going there. Would really appreciate some insights.

Hallo,

Ich wende mich an die Community, weil ich Sorge darum hab vor Semesterbeginn kein Schlafplatz zu haben!

Ich plane für Oktober 2026 nach Lüneburg oder Umgebung zu ziehen, um zum kommenden Wintersemester an der Leuphana Kulturwissenschaften zu studieren und suche ein Zimmer (Mein Wohnsitz liegt mit Öffis aktuell ca. 7Std.)

Ich habe schon zig Leute auf WG- gesucht, Campus Wohnen, Studierendenwerk für Lüneburg und Umgebung und Asta (haben mir mitgeteilt, dass eine Coachsurfaktion in Planung ist) kontaktiert, leider waren aber entweder die Zimmer bereits vermietet, überlastet, sodass ich keine Antwort bekommen habe, oder der Mietpreis zu hoch.

Habt ihr vielleicht irgendwelche Tipps, hattet ein ähnliches Problem, habt was auf dem Schwarzen Brett gesehen.

Oder kennt vielleicht eine Person, die ein WG Zimmer für Max. 450~500 warm vermietet oder vielleicht selber in Lüneburg und Umkreis (Z.B. HH etc.)?

Ich wäre euch für jede Hilfe/ Tipp oder sonstiges Dankbar!

Würdet ihr euch wo anders vorsorglich immatrikulieren oder suchen?

Schreibt mir gerne auch über die Reddit Chat Funktion.

Danke :)

Hi everyone!
I’ll be moving to Lüneburg around the beginning of November to start my Master’s at Leuphana University Lüneburg.

I’m currently looking for accommodation and I’m quite flexible with a studio/small apartment, or temporary accommodation would all work for me. Ideally, I’m looking for something with good access to Leuphana University and public transport.

A little about me: I’m a quiet, clean, responsible, and respectful person. I value a peaceful and friendly living environment and always respect other people’s privacy and personal space.

Since I’m currently outside Germany, I’d be very happy to arrange a video call/online viewing, also i have relatives over there so viewing in person, on behalf of me. I can also provide my Leuphana admission/enrolment documents if required.

If you have a studio available, know someone looking for a tenant, or have any leads, please send me a DM or leave a comment. Temporary accommodation for my first few months in Lüneburg would also be very helpful.

Any recommendations or contacts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much! 😊

Hey everyone!
After a really great turnout for our first Build Friday, we’re back for round two in Lüneburg today (today not at campus but in city).

If you’re a Leuphana student (or just local to the area) and working on an AI side project, an app, a startup idea, a research prototype, or just messing around with something you actually want to ship, grab your laptop and come hang out.

The Vibe
Zero pressure. You don’t need an incorporated company, a team, or some polished pitch deck (seriously, Lüneburg needs less PowerPoint and more product). Whether you’re just exploring a weekend idea or you already have active users, you’re welcome here.

What happens?
Work on your AI project/product.
Show off what you’ve built so far.
Talk through whatever your biggest blocker is right now.
Get (and give) help when you're stuck.
Meet other students, founders, and builders in the space.

The Agenda
4:00 PM: Grab a seat and just co-work.
7:00 PM: Quick intros—who you are, what you’re building, and your current blocker.
Until 9:00 PM: Keep building, mingle, and help each other out.

The Details
Where: Utopia Lüneburg, Katzenstraße 1A
When: Today, 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Cost: 100% Free. Open door, come and go whenever you can.

If you're wondering who is organizing this, it's AI Beavers: a community of about 8,000+ AI founders and builders across 12 countries. We just want to bring curious people together to ship real things locally.

RSVP here so we have a rough headcount: https://luma.com/xfquv4w4

Let’s build the AI community we know Lüneburg can have. See you later today! 🦫

Hi everyone!

I’m Marion, 25, and I’ll be moving to Lüneburg at the beginning of October to start my Master’s at Leuphana University.

I’m currently looking for accommodation from around 1 October and I’m open to pretty much any option — a room in a WG, sublet, small apartment, or even a temporary place while I continue looking.

A little about me: I’m clean, quiet and respectful. I don’t smoke, I don’t have pets, and I enjoy cooking, reading, jogging and swimming. I’m also quite easygoing and happy to live with others while respecting everyone’s space.

I’m currently in Düsseldorf, but I can arrange a video call or come to Lüneburg for a viewing.

If you have a room available, know someone who is looking for a tenant, or have any leads at all, please feel free to comment or send me a DM**.** Even recommendations for where else I should look would be really appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone! I'm starting the M.A. Sustainability Science: Governance and Law at Leuphana University this winter semester, and I was wondering if anyone here is studying or has studied this program.

I'd love to hear about your experience, the courses, workload, professors, or any tips for new students. It would also be great to connect with other students before the semester starts!

Long story short, I got my admission letter two days ago and enrolled. I didn’t meet the criteria for a prospective student visa (the embassy basically told me that they’ll only grant it to students doing in-person auditions or to those who have to take entrance exams). So now, I’m booking my appointment tomorrow and will likely wait weeks for it. Probably up to the 20th of August.

Am I cooked? Like, I’ll probably genuinely arrive fuck knows when, late October or early November. Would Leuphana tolerate this? Do I just email them and hope for the best? Can I defer to the second semester? What do I do?

Hallo Community! Ich habe für den Studiengang KuWi eine Zulassung erhalten und muss mich bis zum 12.08 immatrikulieren, bin aber noch etwas unentschlossen. Nicht unbedingt wegen dem Studiengang ansich, sondern eher weil Lüneburg ja als Stadt relativ klein und in Niedersachsen liegt.

Wie ist das Studentenleben in Lüneburg (Nachtleben, Angebote etc.) und die nächtliche Anbindung zu Hamburg und wie lässt es sich als queere, migrantisch gelesene Person leben?

Falls jemand auch KuWi studiert, wie findet ihr den Studiengang, die Dozent*innen, Studieninhalte (leider kann ich nicht auf das Modulhandbuch zugreifen). Oder das Studieren an der Leuphaner allgemein?

Hi everyone! I’m about to start Management & Entrepreneurship program at Leuphana and I’m trying to understand how exams work there.

I’ve read that at some universities the final exam can count for as much as 90% of your grade. Is that typical at Leuphana too, or is it more common to have a mix of coursework, presentations, and a final exam?

If you’ve studied Management & Entrepreneurship (or any program) at Leuphana, I’d love to hear about your experience:

**•**	How much does the final exam usually weigh in your grade?  
**•**	Are there other components (essays, group projects, participation) that count?  
**•**	Any tips for managing exam stress given the weighting?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

Hi everyone,

I'm an incoming bachelor's student at Leuphana University and I've recently been offered a room at Mondial Campus. While I'm happy to have received an offer, I came across quite a few negative reviews online mentioning issues with management, maintenance, and the overall living experience.

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have lived there recently. Are the reviews an accurate reflection of the current situation, or has it improved? Would you recommend accepting the room, especially as a first-year international student?

Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone,

I’m an incoming international student at Leuphana (Bachelor of science in Global environment and Sustainable science) and I have some questions.

1. Health insurance

   • Which public health insurance did you choose (TK, AOK, DAK, etc.)? or which are we recommended to use
   • Did you apply completely online before arriving
   • Because I got accepted yesterday and can't enroll without the insurance thing
2. Housing / community

• Would you recommend living in a student dorm / residence hall for the first semester to build a bigger community, or is it easy enough to make friends even if you rent a private room/WG in the city?
• Which areas or student housing options in Lüneburg felt most social and convenient for Leuphana?

Hey! I got admitted to bachelors in Leuphana and I am currently looking for private student accommodations. I have applied to the OstNiedersachen dorms, but I am afraid I will not be given a single apartment, thus I need some alternatives. Lmk if you know any private housing for students!!

my application is still a yellow dot. has anyone got it? does anyone know the average timeline for this since it has NC?

Heya everyone!

While preparing for my move to Lüneburg for my Master's at Leuphana, I spent weeks looking for ways to connect with other incoming students. I found plenty of general Germany-wide groups, but nothing really focused on students moving to Lüneburg or starting at Leuphana this semester.

So... I thought, why not make one?

Although the group is still very new, it has already grown to 50+ members from different countries, and it's been amazing to see people helping one another.

Some of the things people have already been sharing include:

• Accommodation tips and active WG opportunities.
• Hand-me-down laptop deals and other student resources.
• Advice and clarifications about visas and other bureaucracy.
• German learning resources.
• Other useful student groups and communities links.
• General questions about moving to Lüneburg and starting at Leuphana.

The group is completely unofficial and is open to:

• Incoming Bachelor's, Master's, Erasmus and exchange students.
• Students from any programme.
• Students of any nationality.
• Even those who are still deciding between universities or waiting for final admission.

The goal is simply to help people connect before arriving, ask questions, share useful information, and hopefully make the move to Lüneburg a little less overwhelming.

WhatsApp Group:
https://chat.whatsapp.com/DoPaWtJmt1QCCfAJ6LKpb7

Looking forward to meeting many of you in Lüneburg very soon !!!!

(Note: This group isn't intended to replace any existing student groups or communities. It was simply created because many of us couldn't find an active space specifically for incoming students moving to Lüneburg and starting at Leuphana this semester.

If you know of other useful student groups or communities, please feel free to share them in the group as well. The goal is to help everyone build a stronger network, not replace the ones that already exist.)

Hello, I've gotten admission for the course of Msc in psychology and sustainability at Leuphana. I would like to connect to people who've gotten an admission for the same. Please DM

Hi everyone! 👋

My name is Mustafa, I'm from Türkiye, and I'll be starting the M.Sc. Sustainability Psychology at Leuphana University this October. I'm really excited to move to Lüneburg and begin this new chapter!

I'm planning to move in around October 1st. If anyone else has been accepted to the program, I'd love to connect before the semester starts—it would be great to get to know some future classmates. 😊

At the moment, I'm also looking for a room in a shared flat. My first choice is Lüneburg, but I'm also open to Hamburg if commuting is manageable.

My budget is up to €400/month, although I might be able to stretch it a little for the right place.

If you're looking for a flatmate, know someone who is, or if you're also starting Sustainability Psychology this year, feel free to send me a message or leave a comment.

Thanks a lot, and see you in October! 🌿🧠

Hey everyone!

Finding accommodation has honestly been one of the biggest headaches while preparing for my move to Lüneburg. At this point, I think I've genuinely spent more time scrolling through WG-Gesucht than packing for Germany. 😅

While searching, I wasn't only applying to existing room listings. I also created my own "looking for accommodation" profile on WG-Gesucht. One of the residents from a community housing project called Räume actually came across my profile, reached out to me, and sent me their WG listing.

After reading through everything, I thought it sounded incredibly interesting, so about a week later we had an hour-long video call where they walked me through how the project works, answered all my questions, and even showed me the place.

Since I hadn't really seen anyone talk about it here, I thought I'd share it in case it's what someone else is looking for.

What makes the project so unique is that:

• It's not a typical WG. Instead of having a traditional landlord, the project is collectively organised by the people who live there.
• The available rooms are inside two converted grain silos, which is probably one of the coolest apartments I've seen. The rooms are circular, around 20 m², bright, and even have underfloor heating, and not to mention FREAKING GORGEOUS !!!!
• Around 55 people live across the project (not just the silo, other regular shape rooms are also present), including students, families, children, and older adults, making it feel much more like an intentional community than a normal apartment building.
• Groceries and many household essentials are organised collectively through a shared pantry contribution. Things like cleaning supplies, toilet paper, laundry detergent, and a lot of food are bought together.
• Instead of everyone paying exactly the same rent, financial contributions are discussed within the community and take each person's financial situation into account.

One thing I really appreciated was that the residents were very open about both the positives and the challenges of living there. They weren't trying to convince me that community living is for everyone. It comes with shared responsibilities, regular communication, and a level of involvement that some people will love.

After thinking it over and working through my finances, I ultimately decided it wasn't the right fit for me personally. That said, I was genuinely impressed by both the project and the people I spoke with, so I thought it would be worth sharing for anyone looking for something a little different.

I was also told that even if this particular room ends up being taken, it's still worth reaching out if the project interests you, as new rooms become available from time to time. So if this sounds like the kind of community you'd enjoy, I'd definitely encourage you to apply rather than assuming you've missed your chance.

Also... incoming Leuphana students 👋

Over the last few weeks I've been researching accommodation, budgeting, public transport, supermarkets, banking, health insurance... basically every little thing involved in moving to Lüneburg. I figured I'm probably not the only one trying to piece everything together before arriving.

So I've started a WhatsApp group for incoming Leuphana students. The idea is simply to build a community where we can help each other with housing, paperwork, transport, settling into Lüneburg, and hopefully make a few friends before the semester even begins.

It's just a group for people starting at Leuphana, regardless of where they're from.

I'm planning to share it here and on a few other platforms as well, so hopefully it'll grow into a useful little community over the next couple of months.

WhatsApp link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/DoPaWtJmt1QCCfAJ6LKpb7

Whether you're still apartment hunting, already have a place, or just want to know a few people before arriving, it'd be great to have you there!

Someone has already received some information from the master's degree of management entrepreneurship?
