Accommodation types
Here you will find an overview of our different accommodations.
Insurance
The housing office organises a private liability insurance for its students who do not already have one. The insurance covers bodily injury and damages suffered by a third party as a result of your behaviour in your private life. The insurance also covers financial losses where these are attributable to an insured person or property damage.
Searching for an accommodation for your own
If you prefer to look for housing independently, you are free to seek for accommodation yourself. Please note that most rental flats in Switzerland are not furnished. In addition, the University of St. Gallen cannot assist you when negotiating with landlords if you look for a flat independently. We recommend that you do not pay any fees or rent in advance to any unknown person until you have seen the apartment first hand. Please see the websites of Benevol St.Gallen and the Student Union Marketplace for further information.
