Linz apartments?

Question

How easy is it to get an apartment in Linz? Is the queue long, if it is there at all? I'm an 18-year-old student and don't speak any German, would it be easy for me to find a small and cheap place to live? Is there any site, where I could 'order' myself an accomodation (permanent one!)?

My head goes quite round as I don't know anything and am starting everything from absolute ZERO.

Any suggestions / information would be more than welcome!! Thank you!

Hi,

try it on http://www.immodirekt.at or http://www.wohnnet.at/www/page.php?P=249...

the problem is that most of those pages are not available in english. If you are planning to study at linz university you could also contact the university, normally they will try to help you...

If you need any further information just contact me!

Hey

living is generally quite expensive in Austria - you are a student so I guess that might be a problem. So how about a flat-sharing community?

With this link you can find the website of the Austrian student body:

There are on time not too many offers - but at the end of June there will be as the semester break begins.

Good luck to you!!

bearing in mind what the previous two people have said  i wonder for a start if you would be better off finding a guest house (gast haus) in the outskirts of Linz for a short while,for a student that will stay for a while they may well give you a low cost room with breakfast and evening meal ,then you may get to know about other accommodation from other students ..as an Englishman living in Graz 25% of the year i find Austria cheaper than England and having a friend in Bavaria,Germany not far from LINZ who is a farmer and runs a gast haus ,i know he has long term residents at a lower price
