student lodging houses
The association Verein Berner Studentenlogierhaus (VBSL) is
a non-profit organization which offers furnished rooms in three
student lodging houses in Bern as well as a couple of unfurnished
apartments. VBSL is one of the best and cheapest offers for lodging in Bern. All three houses can easily be reached by public
transportation and are reasonably near our University.
!
It can be difficult to find rooms
for reasonable prizes, so we
advise you to start searching
for a room as soon as possible.
If you don‘t like to stay in one of the student lodging houses, you can
search for other rooms in Bern using these websites:

Advice about contacting people
• When contacting people in Switzerland please always give
your full name and tell them that you are an exchange student with the Bern University of Applied Sciences. This is
especially important when applying for a room in the student
lodging houses.
• Public Transportation in Bern is very good, so it is no problem if your room is not in the same neighborhood as the University. On www.sbb.ch you can check how long the journey
from your room to the University will take.
• Beware of fraud!
• If you have tried the student lodging houses and all the
websites and still have not found accommodation, please
don’t hesitate to contact us: international.wirtschaft@bfh.ch
