Accommodation

There are plenty of accommodation options available for AE students at each location. Regardless of the accommodation option you choose, you’ll be living in an environment where you can hear the local language and get to experience the life of the locals up close and personal. Living among the locals will make it easier to use the language actively and help deepen your knowledge of the culture.

Some of AE’s partner universities offer on-campus housing. However, most students prefer to live either near campus or near convenient transportation connections to the campus and enjoy accommodation, which is of higher quality than the usual student housing in their home countries, yet still affordable.

Students are responsible for making arrangements for accommodation on their own, but AE offers information about some options, which have been recommended by previous exchange students. There are plenty of accommodation options, but there is a lot of variation in prices, size and quality. Some options are located near campus, while others are located in the areas which are popular among tourists. It’s often easiest to find accommodation after arriving at your study location by staying the first few nights at a hotel or hostel and shopping around for suitable accommodation options. You’ll also have time to find a possible roommate among the other exchange students. If you want to ask around for a roommate in advance, you can do so in one of AE’s Facebook page's discussion forum at www.facebook.com/asiaexchange

Some students wish to choose affordable accommodation without any ”extra” conveniences, while others choose to live large during their exchange and dip into their own swimming pool after classes. All the options are worthwhile ones and it’s up to you to choose the accommodation that suits your needs best. Most locations have plenty of options to choose from. You can find information about some accommodation options from the program-specific pages and see pictures in the photo gallery.

After the application deadline has closed, AE will send students and orientation guide with more information about accommodation etc.
