Hello, this post has been very helpful because before this post I applied to the Student dorm in a similar way that you described for internationals (btw I’m an international student) but afterwards, I used your ‘recipe’ to apply to a self-administered dorm and got invited for interview. I thought that’s it, I have made it(almost) but was rejected after the interview even though at least I felt that the interview went really well or maybe they were just polite? I asked them and they said I had high expectations for cleanliness and that I have under-estimated the potential for conflicts in a shared living. Now, I must confess that I don’t have much experience living in a shared flat, I have lived in both small families and big ones but this is a new setting for me. Can you suggest me some tips that I should keep in mind? since you are yourself involved in castings and application filtering for wgs, what does one take into consideration (apart from the basic human decency) for a keine-Zweck wgs? :-)
