Help searching accomodation

Students who can`t find a place in a dormitory should look for living space on the private market,  not necessarily only in Saarbrücken. Other parts of the city such as  Dudweiler are attractive for students. We present the district and its connection to the Saarland University here: https://youtu.be/gd3CPLgcNF4
