Student accommodation Here are some tips that may help you find suitable housing before you start your studies

Go through the university first

It doesn't matter if you prefer to live in student halls, shared flats or  private accommodation, in Luxembourg there are options for everyone. But, in general, the best way to find student accommodation is to go through the university, as it rents university residences or single-family homes for students to private owners to make them available to students.

The university currently has 36 residences located in the centre and south of the Grand Duchy.  This offer is constantly being expanded to allow students as many options as possible. It is important to know that there is a limited amount of accommodation places and hall residency is not automatically granted. A small but important detail: it is necessary to act quickly, because the distribution of rooms is done in several waves.

This is why one has  to fill  out the online application for accommodation as early as possible. The  accommodation types  vary in size and price.  The  Students' Department ('Service des études et de la vie étudiante', SEVE) at the University of Luxembourg accompanies students from their enrolment to their graduation day, and even beyond.

Making the right choice

Choosing  the right accommodation is one of the most important decisions for students to  make, as the rent is a major part of the budget. That is why the universities and the Luxembourgish authorities make considerable efforts to set up a range of attractive and  affordable accommodation offers that meet the needs of every type of student. A number of criteria play an important role, such as  price , location of the apartment ,  size  or  equipment  included. Often located in the middle of residential areas, housing not only offers  good living and working conditions, but also offers the opportunity to get to know the country better and creates many opportunities for  intercultural encounters . You can find additional information on student living costs in the Student Life section.

Other types of accommodation

Apart from student halls, students can also rent  a private flat. In addition to the University of Luxembourg,  there are many private and international universities  in Luxembourg. These universities use different means to help their students find accommodation. Some foreign students, as for  example those attending the Miami University Dolibois European Center, can chose to live with a local host family  for the time  of their stay in Luxembourg. You can find further information on the sites of the respective universities.

It is also possible  to find a shared room. There is something for every  taste  and  budget. Facebook groups such as  Colocation Luxembourg Colocation Luxembourg / WG Lëtzebuerg  give you more information about colocation in Luxembourg.
