Living in Fribourg
Easy and not expensive
Looking for somewhere to live close to the campus at a reasonable price? In Fribourg, unlike in many other Swiss cities, this is still possible. There are several student hostels which offer inexpensive rooms.
The student accommodation service Apartis has rooms for about 365 CHF. If you prefer not to live in this kind of arrangement, have a look at the accommodation service of the AGEF (General Student Association of Fribourg University).
