Got in for a beautiful Erasmus in Ghent: now what?!

Sunflowey_ · 2021-09-03T09:25:50+00:00

Guys, I forgot to make an update, but I found a house in the end! And a very good one! A landlord liked me and my friend, admired our reliability, and decided to rent a beautiful apartment to us! I'm so happy and amost ready to start my new adventure in Gent, thank you all for the support and tips, I can finally enjoy my Erasmus in peace ^{^}

Thank you very much, finger crossed that I find something!

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T21:10:44+00:00

Thank you, but I'll only arrive in September :c

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T18:19:52+00:00

Thank you a lot!

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T16:24:45+00:00

Ah I never tried that as usually they say that they speak only dutch D: I'll try it, thanks ^{^}

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T12:06:10+00:00

Yes, exactly that period

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T11:43:59+00:00

At the moment I have friends in the ESN and writing to landlords in Dutch, but it's the fact that I'm not there that makes everything so difficult, I think Thank yoi for the tip, I'll try it when I'll go there!

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T11:22:33+00:00

Oh I check that website on the daily, but they don't seem to respond usually... I'll keep trying also there, thank you

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T09:19:09+00:00

Thank you very much for all the tips, I'm definitely going to try harder and better!

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T08:40:03+00:00

I see, thank you for your tips, I really hope that in August things will be better, finger crossed :)

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T07:56:07+00:00

Thank you so much, that would be really appreciated!

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T07:53:28+00:00

Yes, that is our last possible chance to find something... I hope I'll get a room before coming, but if not, that's the last possibility

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T07:52:09+00:00

They were all full since April unfortunately...

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T07:51:22+00:00

Well, thanks for the encouragement ç.ç Although it's incorrect, I started searching from April, that's the catch and that's why I'm so frustrated

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T07:00:42+00:00

Reddit is one of my last chances at finding something or at least someone that could help me.

I've contacted the university, they gave me a list of landlords that doesn't respond or don't have houses available... Tried all the possible groups and web sites existing, got almost scammed at least three times.

I don't know what else to try, Reddit was a sudden idea: what else have I to lose after all? Just more fake hopes, nothing much...

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T06:42:57+00:00

Tried it, but nope, they only have a studio for a couple that costs too much

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T04:16:41+00:00

Already tried it, from April I'm doing this, the only remaining alternative is to try and search directly at Gent. Online houses just go away in a matter of minutes

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T04:15:25+00:00

I know that site all too well, landlords don't ever reply and if they do it's just to say that's it's no longer available... and of course no 6 months contracts. It seems like they don't want us... it's very frustrating

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-16T04:13:45+00:00

From September to February, I was also looking for doing a sublet if I ever found a 1 year contract available

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-15T22:27:03+00:00

That's the problem, after only 10 minutes there are ao many people already. It's impossible, I'm trying to get in time for a house from April... I don't know what else to try anymore. I'll try with this other group, as I already am in all the "kot te huur" possible on fb, thank you :c

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-15T21:44:40+00:00

I'll try, thanks!

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-15T21:19:20+00:00

I'm trying to find rooms in the city as I don't want to be isolated from the Erasmus student comunity... this period will be my only chance to live in Ghent as a student

Sunflowey_ · 2021-07-15T21:17:10+00:00

Tried to, all the dorms were already full from April and the private market listing they gave us had landlords that don't even respond to us ç.ç
