Finding Cheap Accommodation in Estonia:

The cheapest accommodation is University’s own accommodation. You will get an email with information to reserve your place once admission is offered.

If you’re not able to get university accommodation. Here are a few alternative ways to find one.

1. *AirBnb*

Download AirBnb app and look for cheap places for 13 month contract. It might be slightly expensive but it’s the most convenient option.

1. *Facebook groups*

“[Expats in Tallinn/Estonia](  / 166477880066544)”   (in English): One of the most active Facebook groups in Estonia. Its in English and it covers all aspects related to moving and settling in Estonia. Make sure to use the search function before asking a question. Check out this guide by Manan Anwar, who has been living in Estonia for the past 8 years.

[Korterite üürimine (MAAKLERITETA!)”](  / 299056793537765  ) (in Estonian, but there’s no problem with replying to ads in English): This is one of the best groups to find a place in Estonia. Be quick if you find something good. Answering in English is not an issue however my recommendation would be to add Estonian Text as well (Using Google Translate)

1. *Real Estate Website*
