To plan your stay in Geneva, here are some ideas for accommodation!
Geneva Summer Schools can help facilitate your accommodation search. We can provide you with a list of housing options and connect you with other admitted students also looking for accommodation.
We suggest looking for accommodation in student residences, some of which empty out in the summer. We recommend beginning searching for housing as soon as you are accepted into the program, applying for numerous housing options, and following your applications closely.
Our Facebook group can provide a forum to search for accommodation with other summer school students. This group is private and you will receive a link to it when you receive your admission offer.
