Accommodation for EHL students

Il campus domina la città ed è mal servito la sera tardi. Per questo la maggior parte degli studenti alloggia in campus il primo anno.

Where EHL students actually live

Gestiamo alloggi per studenti qui, quindi queste cifre sono quelle che vediamo nelle nostre candidature, non una media presa da un portale. Le camere a Écublens e Renens, vicino all'EPFL, se ne vanno più in fretta; Prilly e Malley costano meno e sono un quarto d'ora più lontane.

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.
