Practical tips
Accommodation
If you would like to be accommodated in a dorm, you should think about booking it 2 or even 3 months before arrival due to a small number of available rooms comparing to interested students. A single room costs aprox 150-250 Euro per month.
We would like to strongly emphasize that we are not an intermediary between dorms and students. We provide assistance only.
