#Strategy

1. Search 6-8 weeks in advance — finance internship periods in Frankfurt (September-May) are very busy.
2. First check if Anmeldung is required — critical for visa/insurance.
3. If your budget is tight, places like The Social Hub or Boost are guaranteed.
4. WG Zwischenmiete is the cheapest but takes time to find.

#Transportation

Frankfurt is a small city — if your internship is in Höchst/Eschborn/Niederrad, living close by reduces S-Bahn costs (monthly pass 95 €).
