The private housing market
We recommend you start looking for accommodation as soon as possible, for example via the internet.
If you’re already in Bochum, you can find a lot of offers in the “Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung“ – WAZ (available at kiosks) and in the free local magazine “Stadtspiegel Bochum“ (you can’t buy the “Stadtspiegel“. It’s published on Wednesdays and Saturdays and distributed to households and public places such as shops and cafés).
If you’re searching for a cheap accommodation for the first nights, we recommend these hotels / hostels:
