Innsbruck has a long history as a university town and offers a variety of housing options, such as student dormitories, private rooms, shared apartments, etc. Prices vary depending on size, location, and equipment.

Accommodation for Exchange Students

The Austrian Exchange Service (OeAD) arranges rooms in student dormitories for a monthly fee. This is the easiest and most convenient way for exchange students to find relatively inexpensive housing.

MCI cooperates with the dormitory “Internationales Studentenhaus” (ISH). Exchange students can book a room at ISH directly through MCI.

Students can also apply for a room directly at one Innsbruck’s numerous dormitories. However, a lot of dormitories only rent out their rooms for a minimum period of twelve months and, in many cases, the application forms are available in German only.

Finding private accommodation in Innsbruck is not always easy, especially at the beginning of a new semester. Nevertheless, students who are willing to invest considerable effort may be able to find a room in a shared apartment or a studio.

If students need a place to stay for a few days, they can book a reasonably priced bed or room in one of the following youth hostels:
