Accommodation for EHL students

Der Campus liegt über der Stadt und ist spätabends schlecht erschlossen. Die meisten wohnen im ersten Jahr deshalb auf dem Campus.

Where EHL students actually live

Wir vermieten hier selbst Studentenwohnungen, diese Zahlen stammen also aus unseren eigenen Bewerbungen und nicht aus einem Portal-Durchschnitt. Zimmer in Écublens und Renens nahe der EPFL gehen am schnellsten weg; Prilly und Malley sind günstiger und eine Viertelstunde weiter draussen.

Apply to FMEL the day you are admitted — the list runs 6 to 9 months, so it rarely helps for your first semester, but it costs nothing and it helps for your second. Everything else means the private market.

The deadlines that matter

File your residence permit dossier about three months before you arrive; processing runs eight to twelve weeks and nothing downstream starts until it is in. Register at your commune within fourteen days of landing, and sort health insurance within three months. The full timeline.

Campus is at Le Chalet-à-Gobet. Choose your neighbourhood by commute rather than by postcode — a cheaper room forty minutes away costs you two hours a day for a year.

If the agency wants a guarantor

Most EHL applicants get stuck on the same thing: an agency that wants someone resident in Switzerland to co-sign. We do that, for 3 months' rent — after we have read your file, and we do decline some.
