I had paid for the accommodation before seeing it in person, which turned out to be a decision I regret. While it was convenient to have a place secured before arriving, I would strongly recommend visiting the accommodation or doing more thorough research before committing. I found that more students were using platforms like Idealista and Spotahome, which are also popular and reliable options. Start your search early, as good options tend to get booked quickly.&#8221; &#8211; <em class=\"myprefix-text-italic\">Winter 2025, Bachelor of Commerce <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I lived in a student housing (Resa).
