Finding a place
- Students can choose student halls, shared apartments, private studios and one bedroom flats.
- Austria does not usually allocate on-campus housing automatically, so you generally arrange accommodation yourself.
- Rents differ by city, neighbourhood, size and amenities.
My Advice
Start your housing search as soon as you get your offer, and compare halls with shared flats before settling on a studio. Treat the numbers as a planning range, since live listings will vary.
