Accommodation and Transportation

The universities that provide on-campus accommodation to incoming students oversee these accommodation facilities. When you live on campus, you are immersed in a communal setting that is also convenient in terms of proximity to the college.

You can rent a room in a shared house or an apartment with other students. This can be cost-effective while also providing you a communal living experience.

External companies often manage such private student accommodations which are purpose-built and offer a range of room types and facilities.

If you wish for an immersive cultural experience, you can opt for homestays. You can live with a local host family and have a well-rounded support system whilst also learning the language and culture.

This type of accommodation is suitable for short-term needs. As you look for permanent housing options, you can choose flexible hotels or Airbnb for the temporary time being.
