Where University of Neuchâtel students actually live

Abbastanza piccola perché l'ufficio alloggi dell'università conosca davvero i locatori della zona. Vale la pena scrivere loro prima di pagare qualcuno per cercare.

Apply to the FUN residences 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 the city centre. 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 Neuchâtel 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.
