People who "save money" will never "save energy", and people who "save energy" will never "save money". And time can't be saved anyway.
You only need to visit your present house one month in advance. You are still very lucky and should be happy. One month is enough time for you to find the next house.
A little personal advice
1. Be sure to determine the city first. After determining the city, apply for student dormitory on the website of Studentenwerk in the target city immediately. Some cities are difficult to apply, but there is nothing to lose by applying.
2. surf the internet. There are two main ways to find a house online. A, the rental section and city section of China Forum. Ask anyone who posted a room and saw someone else renting it. B, German website. In fact, there are more website resources in Germany. Then I called to make an appointment to see the house.
Just like you said, you can't always go out to see the house, just go once and make full use of it. Make an appointment with Termin to see the house for one day and arrange the time. Look at the map first, check the location and transportation mode of the city where the house is located, and arrange the most reasonable route. Arrange the time reasonably. If you are late, you will leave a very bad impression on the landlord. There may be a better landlord waiting for you. If you are in a hurry,/kloc-go directly in 0/5 minutes. Not only you are looking for a house, but also the landlord is choosing a house. Therefore, it is important to leave a good impression.
Don't expect to find the ideal house together. Or simply find Zwischenmieter. Live first. Get familiar with the city before you look for it.
The first time you look at a house, you may not be able to see a suitable house. Remember to go to that city and buy a local newspaper at the newsstand of the railway station, which has many advertisements for renting houses. Give yourself more opportunities.
6. The first house in a new city should be more affordable.
Moving across cities, owning a car is ideal. For example, if a friend has a driver's license, it will be easy. Rent a car and it'll be over as soon as you get down.
No friends, no driver's license, more trouble. Large luggage needs to be mailed. The rest will be transported by train by our own manpower.
Of course, you can also find a moving company in Germany, but the price is very high.
Studying abroad is not easy, good luck, come on!
