hi, i'm from spain and i'll go in the 2nd semester, about January. All your experiences are wellcome.

Hi 

I live in Winterthur and study at the ZHAW. It's no problem to study in Zurich and live in Winterthur. The train takes you there in 25 Minutes. 

Living alone in Winterthur is not possible under 700 Euro / Month I think. The best way to find a shared room is http://www.wgzimmer.ch/en/wgzimmer.html?wc_language=en. This costs usually betwenn 300 and 600 Euros. 

regards

Andy

Tito: Tito!! Yo tambien soy español!!! jejej que estudias?

Andy: i think that it's better to live in zurich, it's small and you can be anywhere in 25min.

It's right Dany. But it's hard to find a payable flat in Zurich. Zurich is very expensive to live!

However if you study at the ZHAW it would be better for you to live in Winterthur. If you go to the ETH or University Zurich 

you can try to find a room in Zurich.

Hola Dany, estudio LADE e iré a la Universitat Zurich en Enero para el 2º semestre y ya estoy dando cuenta de la problemática de los pisos. Tu cuánto tiempo estarás por alli ? A ver si me vas contando cosas si vas antes que yo :)

Andy thanks for your advise. I'll go to University Zurich, so according to your comment i'll look for in Zurich.

I've also recived a private message from a guy who wants to share a flat but don't know if it's a cheat :s

anna baldan Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

what's the name of this guy??? if he told you that lives in london it's a cheat...ho contacted me too!

DANY ARES Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

DANIEL PANGNARIND???????????? is the name of the guy that i think it's cheating me. Is this one? I think we wants tos stole some money... yes, he is from london.

Tito: Yo estare todo el año en zurich, estudio arquitectura, yo te voy contando, si quieres añademe al facebook, mandame un privado con tu mail si quieres.

On i'm going to travel to zurich near the 7th of july to search for a room, if someone is interested i can ask your questions and i can give you information if you want, my idea is to go to the office of woko.

Irini FAs Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

hey to you all again!! This Daniel who is now in London is definitely a cheat!! I did the mistake to reply to him, so advise you not to do so..! Good morning (-:

anna baldan Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

Dany: yes it's him, don't give him money, because you'll never see the keys of this house!

Irini: I replied to him too,I talked with him for 3 days, and then i understood that it was a cheat!

Hello to everyone!! How are you?

I was absent for a time, because I was busy (and I'll be, cause final exams). As I said, I will study the whole next year in Winterthur. The university confirmed me as an exchange student, at last!!

About that boy who wants to rent an apartment (to all of you), I'll say that I'm talking to him too, but as you also think, it's suspicious to me and I thnk he cheats.

And I'm interested into sharing a flat with foreign exchange students (Dany, I'm not ostracizing you! haha). I say "foreign", because I would like to speak as few Spanish or Galician as possible and improve my language skills (I study Translation) ^^

Talk to you soon!! :)

Cristian

DANY ARES Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

Hello,

Cristian: Ya vuelves a estar por aquí!! Pensaba lo peor... jejeje mucha suerte con los examenes. Estamos en contacto!! Yo finalmente me han aceptado en la de Zurich, así que no estaré en winterthur... 

All: DANIEL PANGNARIND doesn't have a flat in Zurich, he wants to rent the flat and stole you the money, a thief. All was very strange, he is from France (Cergy), he lives in london, he looks like asian... I arrived till the end, till the moment i have to pay, but i was playing with him, because if you search his name on the internet you will find closed pages in Erasmusu talking about his cheats. I have all his information, maybe false, his phone number, maybe false,... , he is cheating us... i'm going to annoy him, with this post if someone look his name on the internet he will find this post. I'm just helping possible pray for him.

I've been searching and i recived this email that could help you: 

We have some rooms (no flats/appartments) which we let directly, these are at Tannenrauchstrasse, Elsastrasse and Altstetterstrasse. If you are interested in one of these rooms, please contact us two months in advance, which means end of Jun 2012 asking for Sep 2012 offers and so on…(very limited number of offers).

From Woko.

We are here to help us, isn't it? ;)

anna baldan Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

hi Dany, i took a look to WOKO website, but i saw a lot of other rooms that they published in the site a few days ago, for example the rooms in UBERLANDSTRASSE, and it seems that those rooms are really near to the "UZH-vetsuisse-facultat" and they are really cheap! they told you that have only the rooms that you told us?

DANY ARES Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

Hello Anna,

Woko is one of the responsable to share room/flats/residence. If you want to go to a residence like the ones in Tannenrauchstrasse, Elsastrasse and Altstetterstrasse you will have to send an email to Woko and they will give you a room if there it's a room available, but as they say, very limited offers. If you want to take a room or flat (not in a residence) you will have to go to zurich, to the woko office, thats why i'm going to zurich in one month, to be shure that i will get a flat or room.

Cristiano Marciano Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

Dany! así es! siento estar ausente de esto, pero tengo trabajos y se acercan los exámenes (he tenido algunos) y estoy haciendo el papeleo del erasmus al fin, un coñazo en resumen jaja. Gracias por los ánimos :) Yo estoy barajando varias posibilidades, entre las que estan irme a zurich y a winterthur. Hablamos, vale?

TO ALL: I have no words after Dany's description about that man...We all have to be careful with stealing issues which have to do with accommodation! Thiefs are everywhere....

Anyway, if you are going to live in Winterthur I know a webpage with flats/houses/residences to rent!! It's Swowi

:) Good luck everyone!

Take care

Andy P Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

Best way to find a room is www.wgzimmer.ch . You can display this page also in English. By the way we have a free room (20m2 with own balcony) in our house from September for one year including furniture, but it costs CHF 700.-- / month and we are looking for someone older then 22. We live in Winterthur (5 min to ZHAW) and around 45 to University of Zurich. 

Alejandro Lorenzo Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

Hello to everyone, my name is Alejandro. I'll study next year in zurich too. I was searching for some info in the webpage of my university (ETH) and i sent an e-mail to the woko office, but the anwers was similar:

------------------------------------------------- 

We have some rooms which we let directly, these are at Tannenrauchstrasse, Elsastrasse and Altstetterstrasse. If you are interested in one of these rooms, please contact us two months in advance, to ask if we have a free room (very rarely).

For all other rooms you have to come personally to our office at Sonneggstrasse 63, two months in advance. Next date will be from the 2nd of May, for rooms available the 1st of July.

Some more helpful addresses you will find on our homepage www.woko.ch  under "more accomodation".

Please be informed that we do not have a waiting list and we cannot guarantee you a room for certain.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm looking fordward for a shared flat too, and like cristian, i prefer to live with no spanish people. 

Keep in contact!

PD: Dany, sobre ell tema de woko, tu sabes si en los pisos (los que me dicen que hay que ir alli para reservar) habra sitios libre en un futuro???

DANY ARES Geschrieben vor 12 Jahren

Welcome Alejandro,

I will reply in english because i think it's good for everybody in here. 

I will fly to zurich on July to the woko office, they told me that the will publish the flats for September. Then they told me that i will have to do interviews with the flatmates (maybe 1 or maybe 20), in one day it's impossible to end the work, and maybe in 4 days. I will fly and i will return back, i will study the flats and i will do my best 5 interviews in one day that i will fly agaian to zurich. Hope to get the flat in 5 interviews.

**In one day it's impossible.

See you soon
