Student Accommodation in {Country}: Hostels and Flats
Most first-year students live in their university hostel, which costs roughly US$100 to 250 a month depending on the room. From the second year many share a private flat nearby. We help with both.

Before you book
- Ask how many students share a room and whether rooms are separate for men and women
- Check heating, hot water and internet, especially for winter
- Find out whether there is a mess and what it serves
- Never pay a deposit to a personal account for a flat you have not seen
Can I choose my roommate?
Often yes, if you ask early. Students from the same country usually share.
Can I move to a flat after my first year?
Many students do. Make sure your registration is updated with your new address.
