Hello everyone!
since I'm moving to a new place with my girlfriend in a couple months, it's time to start looking for the next wonderful person to move into my current room. It's about 12 square meters (I think?) and has huge windows and, well, take a look at the pictures, I guess. I tried taking ones that give an impression of its dimensions, which is why there's a weird picture of the top edge of the ceiling in there. I painted one wall a dark shade of violet-red (I must say I did quite a good job with the straight lines) and I also put a clean layer of white on the rest of the walls when I moved in. It seems the new rule for apartments now is that the person that moves in does the painting they want, so I'm passing the red wall on to you. Lucky you!
If you don't have furniture and need it, you can also have the desk, two shelves, a small cabinet, a small side table and a thing to hang clothes on for 30€.
The size of the room itself is "just" 12 square meters, but we have a big living room (that no one ever really uses, so if you want, you can spend a lot of time in there without being bothered) and a nice big kitchen with a couch and a generic framed IKEA poster that we inherited from the WG before us, which has been tastefully covered with posters from a teenage pop culture magazine (BRAVO).
The apartment is only a few minutes away from Siegfriedplatz (four, or two if you run). There are quite a few chain supermarkets within 7 minutes walking distance, there's a pharmacy around the corner, there is a market at Siegfriedplatz twice a week, there are cafés and organic stores and nice places where you can get wine, etc. etc. The city center is 10 minutes away and the university is also less than 10 minutes away if you take the tram. Basically, you don't have to worry about getting to a lot of places or home from the city if you're out late on the weekend and don't want to wait for the night bus.
Your new roommates will be:
Molly (26, from the US, studies sociology)
Artur (30, German, studies English and.... something I forgot, please forgive me)
and Manuel "Male" (also thirty-something, he works at a stable job.)
They're all very wonderful and open. I haven't actually asked them what they're looking for in a roommate, but I said I'd take over the search, so I'd say:
if you're tired of cold, stiff people,
if you're willing to warm up to them with time,
if you want to live with people who are reflected to a certain degree about themselves, privilege, and things in society,
if you have an appreciation for absurdity and terrible sarcastic jokes about oppression WITHOUT demeaning marginalized people,
if you are sensitive to topics such as gender, race, class, and mental illness,
if you are interested in having a little black kitten around that purrs all the time and likes to be sleep and be pet by you,
then you might want to move in :)
I know international students often have a hard time finding rooms - I could imagine an international student moving in. If you are a new international student: We have an extended group of friends that includes many international students from all kinds of backgrounds and they are very supportive.
Of course, that doesn't mean we're not open to cool Germans as well :D
I think that was about everything. There is a washing machine downstairs.
We paid a bit of money to the WG before us for a lot of the furniture in the house, some of us brought important apartment stuff (such as the washing machine or freezer or kitchen shit) some of us bought a large amount of furniture ourselves and we also bought a few things together for the WG. I'm also leaving things here (such as the TV and other kitchen things), so I think it's fair if you'd make a contribution of 50 euro, that will go into the general WG account, up front. Thanks :)
The 290€ include everything: internet, water, electricity, heating, and we've always gotten a lot of money back from the utility company in the end for using less of all that.
