University dormitories

Each university offers students the possibility of lodging in university dormitories or a hall of residence. You may of course go for private housing of your own choice, but where is the fun in that?

You may either reserve a room by yourself (usually online) or a study advisor/programme coordinator of the university will provide you with further info.

Prices highly depend on the dormitory of your choosing. The basic monthly rent is about 150 EUR/170 USD.

The dormitory administration can issue the confirmation of accommodation that you need for the visa process.

Private Accommodation

Another option is to find private accommodation or to share a flat. Rents are paid monthly and vary dependent on the size, location in the city and the equipment already present in the apartment. You may pay anything from 500 – 650 EUR/570 – 740 USD for a 1+1 flat in the suburbs, or a 650 – 800 EUR/740 – 910 USD for the same flat in the more centre adjacent areas.

The size is usually indicated by numbers which can be a little bit confusing. Here is a short vocabulary of the Czech real estate kingdom:

• Garsoniéra/garsonka/studio – one room that includes a kitchen.
• 1+1 – one room with a separate kitchen or a kitchen corner, normally including an entrance hall.
• 1+1kk – “kk” means kitchenette, and the kitchen is a part of one room. So it is an apartment with one separate room, one room that includes a kitchenette and an entrance hall.
