Finding accommodation abroad
Where you live shapes your first year. Start early.
Your options
- University halls or residences: easiest for the first year
- Private student residences: often more modern, sometimes pricier
- Shared private flats: cheaper, but contracts need more care
- Homestays: living with a local family, good for language practice
Staying safe
- Use the university accommodation office and approved listings
- Never pay a deposit for a place you cannot verify
- Read the contract: length, deposit, bills included, notice period
Timing
Apply for university housing as soon as you accept your offer. Private rentals are usually easier to arrange once you can view them in person, so some students book a short stay for their first weeks.
