Student Life
Housing
Below you will find information per university about their accomodation options. Important to note here is that if you would want to make use of the university housing faciltities and support with finding housing, the coordinator needs to be informed at the latest by May for each intake year.
When it comes to accommodation, there are many options open to a student in Lund. A good way of being introduced to student life is living in a dormitory, where you share a kitchen and living room with other students. Private or student apartments are also among the possibilities. Some students live outside Lund, in Malmö or Eslöv, for example, where it is easier to find a place to live. Communications are good and distances short.

Students are accommodated in well-furnished rooms or apartments at the ITC International Hotel. The hotel and its annexes are located in the centre of Enschede, close to the ITC main building and close to the railway station, shopping centre, market and post-office.

Some impressions of a student room in Tartu
Many options exist to accommodate students in Louvain-la-Neuve. Shared flats where the students have their own room but share a kitchen, living area and bathroom facilities are certainly the best way for being introduced to student life and to learn French. UCLouvain has also created the unique concept of theme-based shared flats (the so-called ‘kots à projet’), which involves students living in shared accommodation and working together on a social, cultural or sport-related project. Private studios and flats or even living in a family are also among the possibilities.
