Finding accommodation in Geneva can be a real challenge. Therefore, we encourage all students to begin their housing search while waiting for their final enrollment documents. We believe that a comfortable and inspirational living environment is an important part of any educational experience. This section gives you an overview of the accommodation options available to you. With the support of EU’s Accommodation Office, you will be able to find the perfect place to call home in no time.

Student dorms

Living in student dorms allows you to meet new people and gives you a structured living environment without having to worry about household chores and the stress of dealing with rental agencies. Living close to other students helps you adapt to the city and your new lifestyle. This type of accommodation is welcoming and ensures you always have someone to talk to.

EU Geneva has secured a limited number of student accommodations with our partners, all just a 15-minute walk from campus.

Private apartments

Most apartments are rented through an agency, however renting directly from the owner generally saves tenants a lot of money in agency fees. An important aspect of housing in Switzerland is the concept of sharing. The majority of apartments and studios don’t have a private washer or dryer, instead they are put at the disposal of all residents in the building.

Apartment-sharing

Sharing an apartment is a popular concept in Switzerland and a lot cheaper than living on your own. Shared housing is a flexible option and with international roommates, you will be able to learn other languages. But you must be willing to compromise.

If you are interested in this option, we highly recommend you arrive in Geneva before you commence your studies, in order to meet potential roommates and landlords personally. Please contact the student affairs officer of your respective campus and they will pair you with another student who is also in search of a shared apartment.

A City Campus in the Heart of Geneva

Perfectly situated right in the city centre, our campus is just steps away from artisanal shops, trendy bars and restaurants. Excellent public transport links make it easy to explore this charming city and the surrounding mountains.

The bright and modern campus building enjoys a panoramic riverside setting and features state-of-the-art learning facilities that have been specifically designed to optimize the student experience. The light and airy classrooms are fully equipped with the latest technology to promote learning and student wellbeing. The library and study rooms have been customized to create the perfect environment for studying, reading or working on assignments. And between classes, you can relax in the spacious student lounge, where you can grab a snack, play a game of foosball or catch up with friends. Students also have access to the beautiful surroundings of the Montreux campus, set in an 18th-century villa on the shores of Lake Geneva.

During their studies, EU students in Geneva go on exclusive company visits to the headquarters of leading companies and financial institutions. They are also invited to worldwide organizations such as the Office of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization.
