Accommodation
University dormitories
Each university offers students the possibility of lodging in university dormitories or a hall of residence. You may of course go for private housing of your own choice, but where is the fun in that?
You may either reserve a room by yourself (usually online) or a study advisor/programme coordinator of the university will provide you with further info.

The dormitory administration can issue the confirmation of accommodation that you need for the visa process.
Private Accommodation
Another option is to find private accommodation or to share a flat. Rents are paid monthly and vary dependent on the size, location in the city and the equipment already present in the apartment. You may pay anything from 500 – 650 EUR/570 – 740 USD for a 1+1 flat in the suburbs, or a 650 – 800 EUR/740 – 910 USD for the same flat in the more centre adjacent areas.
The size is usually indicated by numbers which can be a little bit confusing. Here is a short vocabulary of the Czech real estate kingdom:
- Garsoniéra/garsonka/studio – one room that includes a kitchen.
- 1+1 – one room with a separate kitchen or a kitchen corner, normally including an entrance hall.
- 1+1kk – “kk” means kitchenette, and the kitchen is a part of one room. So it is an apartment with one separate room, one room that includes a kitchenette and an entrance hall.
For offers directly from the owners, you may look at Bezrealitky (in the Czech language only) or Expats.
