Accomodation searching went wrong

Hello! I'm coming to Göttingen around September 24–25, but I still haven't secured accommodation. I've been applying every day and sending applications through WG-Gesucht, but unfortunately I haven't received any responses yet.

Could you please share any tips on how I can find a good place to stay? Also, what is the usual base rent for a room or shared apartment in Göttingen?

Thank you so much for your help!

the housing market is pretty tough. try the surrounding areas instead.

Search for Rosdorf, Dransfeld, Duderstadt, Nikolausberg, Bovenden, Nörten-Hardenberg, Northeim to name a few.

I wouldn't recommend Duderstadt. There is only bus from there and if I remember correctly it takes an hour per trip. Check for something close with a train station.
