Where University of Fribourg students actually live

Bilingue, piccola e davvero abbordabile per gli standard svizzeri. Se il budget è stretto e la scelta dell'università è aperta, è la più semplice di tutte.

Apply to the Fri-Logement office the day you are admitted — the list runs 2 to 5 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 Miséricorde. 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 University of Fribourg 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.
