Navigating international student accommodation across Europe

Securing suitable and affordable accommodation is a critical step for any student planning to study in Europe and, with the continent’s growing popularity as a study destination, understanding the housing landscape has become more essential than ever. This panel is designed to provide education agencies and institutions with practical insights into the realities of the European student accommodation market.

We explore average rental prices and affordability across key destinations (Spain, Poland, etc.), the diverse range of housing options available – from university residences and purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) to private rentals, coliving, and more – discussing the pros, cons, and typical costs of each. The expert panelists will also share proven strategies and best practices for navigating the search process, highlighting useful platforms, resources, and timelines.
