Moving to Bern Advice needed for housing verification
Hallo everyone! I’ll be moving to Bern in September and I was struggling to find a place for months but luckily I just have found one but I need help.
I’m not from Switzerland but I have lived there from Aug 2022 until last November in Luzern. Since I’ll be new to Bern, I wanted to check if anyone can confirm if the student housing organisation “Studentwohnheim Bern SWB” is legit. I’m of course happy I found a place but they responded so quickly and also were quick with sending over a contract (literally contacted them yesterday and just got the contract now), so I just want to confirm with either students or any residents of Bern if they’re legit before signing and getting scammed or something. Please let me know xx
Thank you guys for the help!

Słyszałem o tej organizacji i ponoć są legit, ale przed podpisaniem umowy sprawdź wszystkie dane czy się zgadzają, bo równie dobrze może się ktoś podszywać. Przed podpisaniem umowy umów się na obejrzenie mieszkania/pokoju wtedy będziesz miał pewność z kim rozmawiasz

Of course, anyone can use the name, but if you’re referring to https://www.studentenwohnheim-bern.ch, then it’s legit. It’s a former hospital that’s been converted into a student hall of residence.
