Sublet/room rent in Essen

Hello advisors from Essen,

My daughter submitted to student exchange program in Essen, starting spring semester (end of March 2017). The exact address of the campus below.

I would like (on her behalf) to consult with you regarding housing. She prefers a room in a shared student apartment (and not the dorms). So, can you please advise how to start searching? In which neighborhoods she should focus?

if you have any useful links to share– it will be highlyappreciated!

Thanks!

Try wg-gesucht.de

There also other, similar results if you google for "WG Suche".

Also, there are often student Facebook groups for individual cities where you can find listings for free rooms or write your own room-seach post.

IMO this might be the right place to go for a first information request

http://studentenwerk.essen-duisburg.de/en/accommodation/

Of course you can look for WGs yourself but this will be a little complicated if you don´t have any connections.

http://www.wg-gesucht.de used to be good. But not any more. They mixed it with AirBNB or something, and now it's all a jumble.

Instead, I'd try "eBay Kleinanzeigen". That may not sound too appealing, but there's a lot of real estate on that platform now. For unfurnished rooms, http://www.immobilienscout24.de and http://www.immonet.de are good, too. But even though they do offer some furnished rooms too, they would not be my first choice for that.
