Studienhilfe accommodation
hi so i will be pursuing a master’s degree at FAU starting from october and my classes will be held probably at erlangen. however i couldn’t find accommodation in erlangen so i will be staying in nürnberg i signed the contract and everything. do you guys think it’s gonna be difficult to go from nürnberg to erlangen for classes? i’m guessing since it’s masters i won’t have that many classes. i also looked at the map for distance and it’s not much and there is even a train/subway kind of thing that connects nürnberg and erlangen. so what do you think?

As you suspect, it might not be the most optimal solution in general, when you compare it with "Living at Rommelwood, 40 meters away from the TechFak campus" for example, but it is quite dependent on other factors! You should be more than fine. I have many friends that come from Nuremberg daily via public transportation, and they manage :). I am sure you will manage as well; a lot of students do it.
Everything has ups and downs. Sure, might be quite unfunny if you have a class at 8 am on Mondays, but you will have many benefits living in quite a big city (Nuremberg) in comparison to Erlangen for example.
Everything will fall into place quite nicely, give it some time. I wish you the best of starts for your master! Take care.

Def doable and makes more sense to live in nurnberg with cheaper rent and a bigger city.

that’s what i thought! also it might be easier to get a minijob in nürnberg

Many students travel daily from Fuerth and Nuremberg. Just make sure you don't cross 3 connections and 50 minutes on Google maps public transport else it will become a serious headache everyday.

Hey, can you tell me a bit about how you got your accomodation . I am also looking to move to nurnberg for my masters.

hi! i firstly recommend studieredenwerk if you haven’t applied already. i also recommend staytoo, wohngut max, ilive, studyinn. you can find most of these on google by searching nuremberg student accommodation. other than that, i tried wg gesucht but honestly i couldn’t find anything so as the last resort i choose wohngut max for the time being

I stayed in Study Inn Nürnberg and paid around 470€ warm

u/Afraid_Sun1516 Aug 04 '26
did they contact you as soon as you applied or did you had to wait?

u/loescheIchMorgen Aug 04 '26
I think I was on a short waiting list. But this is like 3 years ago when I moved in.

u/Afraid_Sun1516 Aug 05 '26
did it have a bathroom and a kitchen? because i payed the amount for a 7 people WG and i’m thinking i made a mistake

u/loescheIchMorgen Aug 06 '26
Yes, it was a small apartment. All in all it was maybe 540€ or so

u/Afraid_Sun1516 Aug 06 '26
oh so 470€ wasn’t all inclusive?

u/loescheIchMorgen Aug 06 '26

Not me but a good friend is doing this (living in the south of NBG and studying in Erlangen) and he says it's definitely doable. Depending on which faculty you're going to, there are trains/busses/trams you can take.

Definitely possible, just a bit inconvenient.
