STUDENT HALLS
The Academy has a limited number of places at student halls of the ÖAD
(Austrian Exchange Service): Deadline for application for the winter term
is 15 July; for the summer term is15 December; Reservation deposit
required. Please follow the guidelines at www.housing.oead.ac.at
The following student halls are available for Academy’s students:
Molkereistraße: single rooms in a shared flat
Tigergasse: single and double rooms in shared flats
Obermüllergasse: double rooms
Türkenstraße. Single rooms in shared flats
SHARED FLAT/APARTMENT
A room in a shared flat (private) will cost approx. 250-400Euro and the
price for an apartment will be around 350-500Euro (incl. utility costs and
pro-rata-share, perhaps internet.) When you rent an apartment by
yourself you will get an one years`s, three year`s or a five year`s contract
which is charged additionally. You won`t get a permanent contract as
there is a law in Austria that you are non-redeemable then. Generally the
rents are too high in Vienna. The tenants union can help.

municipal authority (Magistrat 35). That costs you 55Euro (for EEAcitizen). http://www.wien.gv.at/english/administration/civilstatus/

recommendable. www.oebb.at
