Housing

Non-EU exchange students receive priority for housing through the exchange coordinators. Information on the housing application procedure can be found through the link below. There is a limited amount of rooms reserved for exchange students. In most cases, because of immigration rules and the priority status, housing is guaranteed for non-EU students.

It is important that you start your housing application as soon as you are able to do so!
