I've moved out..and moved into my new place! O M G..the difference...
Everything is so much closer now that I am only 5 minutes away from HBF, and the Alster is just around the corner, but my street, Wandsbeker Chaussee, is not the fanciest street at all actually but my new apartment is very homey..and Alhamdulilah I have a really big room 24 m2 and its so spacious and I feel like i can breathe! There wasn't much furniture when I first moved it..it was pretty empty..only a mattress and a desk and Komode but yea with time I've been rounding up left overs from here and there hehe...Honestly don't see a point in buying new furniture for only the 4 months that are coming so I'm only getting stuff that I need...I discovered this awesome store called the "Umsonst Laden" and basically you can pick up whateva ya want for free!!!http://www.ak-loek.de/Umsonstladen/HomePage You have to give a small donation from 10 - 15 euro and i basically got a Bettgestell, and 2 mirrors, and a Nachtisch all for 15 euro! It's amazing really..Of course my room looks a little bit like a khabeesah because I have rounded up things from all over, but I love it :)
Anyway my point is, I did the whole Studentenwohnheim thing, and it was great, but the location was too far, and now that phase is over and three weeks into this, I feel like its been so worth it to move out and start new again...and now I feel like I really turned the page into the next phase of this year..I'm earning a little more money now with the internship so I can afford to live in a bigger place in the center. It would have been great if I could find another dorm somewhere in the center too...that would have saved me bunch of money, but Studierendenwerk told me that Exchange Students are not allowed to move from one dorm to another..which I think is bull, but they were really rude and not understanding, but I didn't let that stop me and I kept looking for a good 3 months until out of nowhere and just complete luck and fate that I found this place in an article on http://www.wg-gesucht.de/.
If you guys don't feel comfortable in your living situation, thenn try as best as you can to get used to it and try to change it to adapt to it...but if it gets to a point where you feel like that's it...then ya gotta do so2m bout it :)
I could go on and on about living...because I did so much research and asked so many people..and I've been living here for the past what 7 months (Wow, so fast) and I kinda got a good idea of where students live and how it all goes and bla bla so if you need help finding a place, maybe I'll know a few things to help ya out.
cheers!
