At International Swiss School, we understand that a student’s living environment is a crucial factor in their academic success and overall well-being. That’s why we provide a thoughtfully organized system of student accommodations designed specifically for international learners. Whether you’re relocating for a bachelor’s program, a master’s degree, a short-term course, or a language course, our housing services ensure that you’ll feel secure, connected, and supported from day one. Our accommodations are more than just a place to sleep- they’re an integral part of your university experience. Each space has been selected or designed to provide the comfort, safety, and academic support needed for students to thrive.

Modern Residences with Practical Amenities

Our most popular housing option is the student residence with modern, well-maintained facilities located close to the main campus. These residences offer single or double occupancy rooms, each furnished with a bed, desk, wardrobe, and internet connection. Shared kitchen facilities, study lounges, and social areas help foster a sense of community while allowing for privacy and quiet when needed. Common areas are cleaned regularly, and 24/7 security systems are in place to ensure safety. These buildings include convenient services such as on-site laundry, bike storage, and communal dining spaces. Utilities (electricity, heating, water, and Wi-Fi) are included in the rent, allowing students to manage their budgets with predictability and ease. Students in residence enjoy a balance between independence and social engagement. Weekly or monthly events are often organized by residence staff or student associations to build friendships and help newcomers feel welcome. These include shared dinners, movie nights, or international-themed gatherings.

Flexible Housing Options for Diverse Lifestyles

Not every student has the same needs, so we also offer a variety of living arrangements beyond traditional student residences. Some students may choose to live in shared apartments with peers, where they enjoy more independence while still sharing kitchen or living spaces. Others may opt for a private studio or one-bedroom flat, ideal for mature students, those with families, or those seeking a quieter environment. These accommodations can be arranged through our network of trusted housing partners and come fully or partially furnished, depending on the arrangement.

Arrival Support and Orientation Services

We know that finding accommodation in a new country can be stressful, especially when dealing with unfamiliar regulations or language barriers. That’s why our dedicated Student Office assists students every step of the way. Once enrolled, you’ll receive access to our pre-arrival housing guide, personalized consultations, and recommendations based on your preferences and budget. Our advisors will help you understand rental contracts, local housing laws, and how to manage everyday issues like utilities, deposits, or transportation.

During orientation week, new students participate in information sessions about housing etiquette, roommate dynamics, safety practices, and Swiss customs. First-year students are often paired with peer mentors or assigned residence buddies to help ease the transition into student life. For international students arriving alone, this system creates a much-needed sense of belonging from the very beginning.

Living Close to Campus Life

All our student accommodations are located within easy reach of the university campus, whether by walking, biking, or public transport. This proximity makes it easy to attend lectures, participate in extracurricular activities, meet with professors, or use on-campus facilities such as the library, study centers, or fitness areas. Living near the university allows students to fully immerse themselves in academic and social life without the stress of long commutes or disconnected routines. Moreover, the surrounding neighborhoods are well-equipped with supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, medical clinics, and other daily necessities. Many students also take advantage of nearby green spaces, cultural venues, and sports centers, making their off-campus time both enjoyable and healthy. Living in a vibrant student community enhances the university experience, giving students the opportunity to network, build friendships, and grow personally.

Student accommodations at the International Swiss School are designed to meet logistical needs and to enhance your academic performance and personal development. All housing options provide the stability and structure that students need to succeed. Combined with comprehensive support services and access to a multicultural community, your home during your studies becomes a key part of your educational journey. By living in a safe, inclusive, and thoughtfully planned environment, students are free to focus on what truly matters: their learning, their relationships, and their future. At International Swiss School, we’re proud to offer more than just housing – we provide a place where you can truly belong.
