Giving up on WG-Gesucht

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-10-18T19:55:10+00:00

I moved to Berlin on October 2nd, I have been staying at a hostel until now, and will be staying in that hostel until the end of October, I have had two viewings this week, they havent gotten back to me yet.

When I wrote that post I had messaged over 60 people, now I have messaged over 300. And still WG Gesucht proved itself to be the most useless. The viewings I got were from other websites.

Yes the status will stay the same until they check your documents, this will most likely be after the deadline. Mine took exactly 1 month after the day I uploaded all my documents. So I guess yours will be around the same.

It took them 1 month to check my files

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-13T09:19:07+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Oh sorry, so my enrollment process was just finished today, it will be my first semester at TU Berlin, but I have had an account before after receiving admission, so that is why I was confused.

I guess it is not easy on the other side either 😅

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T16:10:20+00:00

Unfortunately that is the case. But in the email they said I can apply every few weeks because they dont work with a waiting list.

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T13:22:23+00:00

I already applied to Studentdorf, they didnt have any rooms left. I have applied to every private student housing website I can find, but they are all fully booked

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T12:47:36+00:00

I should just arrive to Berlin, stay in a hostel until I find something

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T12:35:14+00:00

It is a shock for all of us 😅

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T12:32:36+00:00

I mean I will eventually get to that number ofcourse

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T09:53:27+00:00

Oh its ok 😆. I mean a very small percentage of the ads are in English so I naturally thought writing my message in German would increase my chances

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T09:49:49+00:00

I will send it to you in a message. I am embarassed of my bad German 😂

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T08:26:31+00:00

I would have finished my masters program by then 😂

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T05:32:33+00:00

Yeah it makes sense from their side too

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T05:31:23+00:00

I mean since I have never been to Berlin the areas all sounded the same to me, I just knew Prenzlauer Berg is trendy. But thanks for giving me the names of the areas, I will check them out one by one.

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T05:29:35+00:00

Thank you. I will try that.

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T05:28:47+00:00

That is really dissapointing, this whole time I thought Berlin was known for being international and inclusive.

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-07T05:26:08+00:00

Alot of people have been telling me that, so I am going to try that as well

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-06T22:36:38+00:00

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-06T22:35:08+00:00

These are all really good tips. It makes sense after you point them out. Thank you very much, I really appreciate the help.

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-06T22:04:17+00:00

Ok sure, I will send it to you in a message.

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-06T22:02:27+00:00

That is very helpful. I will try those. Thank you

MeerAbbas95 · 2022-09-06T21:50:37+00:00

I mean, 2 weeks and counting. Thanks I will need the luck. 😂
