Student Housing in

the Czech Republic

Student Dorms

The first and easiest way to secure housing is to check with your university to see if they offer any student dorms.

Most public universities have their own university-owned dorms which are extremely affordable. Priority for living in a dorm goes to that university’s students but students from any university can apply to live in these public university dorms.

Many private universities partner with housing providers to guarantee a certain number of rooms for their students and often a reduced rental rate.

Private Accommodation

You may also opt for housing options outside of student dorms. This can include private dorms, co-living, or renting an apartment or room in a shared apartment with roommates.

While this option affords you more freedom than the university dorm, it can be a challenge to search without being there in person.

If you do choose to take this route it will be easier to go through housing managed by a company such as a dorm or co-living accommodation. These companies are more equipped for booking a room months in advance and providing you the necessary paperwork for your visa.
