HOUSING

The University of Applied Sciences does not guarantee student accommodation. Students who decide to seek accommodation in the student dorms need to apply for it. The housing request form is part of the application form for exchange students. The number of beds available for exchange students is limited. If any false statement has been made, accommodation request will not be accepted. List of selected students will be published.
Students that are not staying at student dorms will need to consider alternatives such as private rental accommodation. Rents vary greatly according to location, room size, facility etc. Overhead expenses are sometimes included in the price, and sometimes are paid by the tenant. Payment is usually expected at the beginning of the month, while some landlords request payment for several months in advance. The best way to do this is to search for different offers on other web-portals.
Student living expenses will vary according to individual needs and the ability to budget and manage finances. In particular if you want to travel a lot and take full advantage of the available cultural and social opportunities, expenses may be higher.
