When embarking on the journey of studying abroad, leaving behind your home country can be emotionally draining. The added stress of finding suitable housing, discovering nearby amenities, and adapting to a new culture can further compound the challenges.

As a student, it is crucial to choose the right accommodation, as this will be the place where you will spend most of your time studying, exercising, eating, and socializing with friends throughout your years of education. We have observed that students who are satisfied with their accommodation tend to be more engaged in their studies, actively participate in activities, establish regular meal routines, and generally perform above average. By now, it should be evident that, in addition to selecting the right university, securing good accommodation plays a significant role in shaping one's success in academia. Let's explore how to go about finalizing suitable accommodation.

Types of Accommodation - The type of accommodation varies from country to country and location to location. Personal preferences and living style should be considered when selecting suitable housing.

On-Campus Accommodation - These are accommodations provided by the university and are typically located within the university premises. 

On-campus accommodations offer several advantages. They provide close proximity to the campus, ensuring a safe environment with modern security systems and on-site security personnel. These accommodations are exclusively occupied by students, facilitating easy interaction with fellow classmates and simplifying the settling-in process. Living in such accommodations enhances students' social lives as they spend more time with friends from the university, providing ample opportunities to join clubs, attend events, and engage in outdoor activities.

However, like everything else, on-campus accommodations also have their drawbacks. They can be costly, as the university is responsible for providing quality housing and maintaining necessary facilities. You may not have control over your roommate selection or the size of the room, and excessive activity in your living space may hinder academic preparations. There are often time restrictions, preventing unrestricted entry or exit from the campus gates at odd hours.

Additionally, in many European countries like France, accommodations may not be available within the campus, but the university may have arrangements with local accommodation providers.

Off-Campus Accommodation - These accommodations are located outside the campus and are not controlled by the university. Students choose to arrange their own accommodations near the campus. Options include homestays, where local families rent out their homes to students, typically providing meals as part of the monthly rent. Homestays offer a good option for those seeking a sense of family care and secure housing, with basic needs met by the host family, including home-cooked food and a clean, spacious environment.

However, living off-campus may have its own set of disadvantages. Parties may not be allowed at your place, and there may be restrictions on the number of guests, late-night entry, loud music, smoking, and drinking, imposed by the host families.

If homestays are not suitable, students can opt for completely independent arrangements without interference from anyone. This usually happens when students have spent some time in the city and have formed friendships. Together, they can plan housing, meals, and location based on their budgets, personal preferences, and other considerations. Such arrangements are often cost-effective and free from restrictions, but they may come with challenges such as arranging necessary items like study tables, kitchen equipment, bed linen, and ensuring security.
