Hello everybody!: )

I'm an Erasmus student at AUTH and I'll move to Thessaloniki at the end of February this year. I applied for a room in one of the dormitories (Kassandrou Street) but some former students told me some of the rooms don't have a separate bathroom. Is it possible? The price is 240 Euro per month and I'll be really surprised if I have to share a bathroom with tens of other people..

The problem is they'll make me pay for the room 3 months in advance before I have seen it and I wouldn't like to get cheated. What advice could you give me?    Should I find private accommodation?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Also, if you're an Erasmus student at AUTH for 2008, feel free to contact me

Hello Arcane,

take a look at this Thread is there anybody who's going to thessaloniki?
and this one
I need advice for a flat

I ould recommend u take a flat by yourself or with another person. but the thing is, that u must be in the city to find something. I think, it's gonna be better for u. it's not that much expensive. I live in an apartment with two rooms, a small kitchen, a bathroom, a small hall and I'm paying 300 EURO/month.

Greets, Savvy?!

im also coming on 25th february from turkey as an exchange student for english language depertmant but im a lil bit anxious about my english for communicating people because im not good in eng:)and i chose a dorm called kassandrou but i think 240 is expensive nyway erasmus gives us 400 euro per month.
i heart that there is a dorm around or in the campus which costs 50 euro per year.but it doesnt accept the exchangers which is very ridiculous

hej

i'm going for erasmus to thessaloniki too, at 24th of Feb.
I'll be studing in ATEI, near Thessaloniki. Are here any students who are going to study there too??

[Savvy?!]

@marigitte: don't be ancious, it's gonna be fun, that's why you're coming

Why don't u rent a room with someone else from the forum, that's much cheaper

Greets, Savvy?!

There is a Myspace site for the Erasmus events : http://www.myspace.com/erasmuspartycommunity

HAVE FUN!!!

Thanks to everybody for the answers and the info provided!

I have another question: how much does it cost to have the Internet per month in Thessaloniki?

@Savvy?!: 300 Euro for two rooms and a kitchen is really cheap and sounds great. Does this price include electricity, water and other bills? It would be great if I find something like that. The AUTH administration gave me a double room at 134 Kassandrou Str (that's very near AUTH) that has a bathroom and a kitchenette for 210Euro per month. I hope it will be OK. The only inconvenience is that the bed is a bunk bed

If somebody from the forum is willing to rent an apartment/room etc with me, write a personal message pls. If we find something better than the dormitories, we could rent it for the semester.

@marigitte: Do not worry about your English, you're coming to improve it, so study hard and you won't have problems. The reason I chose Greece is because I want to improve my Modern Greek. I'm intermediate now and I hope that after a semester I'll speak it very well.

@gosia: I don't know anybody from my university that's going to ATEI. Why don't you ask them to give you some other students' contacts?

@driver: Thanks for the link. Do you have anything to do with that profile?

i don't know in person the people who created that myspace site...but i know that their parties and events are the best for erasmus students...I myself was an erasmus student once and I know how important those events are in your first days in thessaloniki...later on I think you would know where to party!! 

[Savvy?!]

No unfortuanely, there's nothing included, just the monthly rent. Water is nothing, it's about 15Euros/3months. The electricity can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but not in the summer
Is the room at the dorms? I haven't been there, so I don't know how it is. One friend of mine live at the dorms. it's one room..or better: a hole. But a double room doesn' sound that bad
I would prefer to live in an appartment, but maybe as an erasmus student it's more fun, check it out and then decide.

[moonchild]

as an erasmus student i recommend to stay at the dorms! the apartments are good when you invite parents or many friends over to your place.

I should mention that I am an Erasmus student and I will arrive on 4 th in salonik.please sent me a quick answer.If  there is a free room, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you. is it close to Aristotle University?
