Exchange students arriving in Vienna have several options to choose from when booking housing for their stay. These options include:

Regardless of which accommodation you book, please note that you are responsible for taking the appropriate steps to reserve and secure your own housing. Below, you will find further information about the various options. Please keep in mind that these housing organizations are independent from WU. Therefore, we have no influence on contracts and on terms and conditions. Please make yourself familiar with contract details before choosing an accomodation.

OeAD student housing

Typically, WU incoming exchange students book with OeAD student housing. You can find a list of their residence halls in the table below. Students, who would like to make use of this offer, need to register through the OeAD student housing website.

• Rooms start from €299 per month

• Prices vary and depend on the length of stay and room type

• We have pre-reservations in certain OeAD residence halls (see full list below)

• Together with the insurance company UNIQA, OeAD student housing offers a cancellation policy. For details, please see this website.

• The minimum rental period for a room in a residency hall is a whole semester. In the winter semester, from October to the end of January. In the summer semester, from March to the end of June. It is possible to extend but not to shorten the rental period.

The following residence halls have rooms for incoming exchange students in the winter semester:

The following residence halls have rooms for incoming exchange students in the summer semester:

<sup>*PopUp dorms & Sonnenallee: Please note that at these residence halls, there are no pre-reservations for WU incoming exchange students.

In case you consider these options, please note: These dorms are located in the Seesadt Aspern, an area recently developed and rather isolated from the rest of the city. The advantages of these dorms are that they are one of the best options in terms of value for money and that the area is well connected. The subway line U2 (purple line) has a direct connection to WU and the city center. Commuting time to WU is approximately 20 minutes to the city center (Karlsplatz 35 minutes). Keep in mind that Vienna's subway system does not run 24 hours on weekdays. The last subway runs around 00:15pm. Afterwards, nightline busses are the only public transport option. Seestadt is not well connected by night busses yet and it will take you up to 1,5 hours, two transfers and a 15 minutes walk to get home after midnight during the week.</sup>
