For incoming students who require superior quality accommodation, rented flats are an alternative. Renting a flat can provide students with the peace, comfort and privacy they require.

 How do I start looking for a place to rent?

The monthly rental price of a two-room apartment might cost between 80.000 to 200.000 HUF (250-620 EUR); The surroundings, the distance from the Univeristy and the facility might affect this price. Please note that utility bills and property management fee are not included in the rental fee. Always take into consideration that you might need to sign up for an Internet connection at a local communication service provider and bear its expenses. To pay a deposit is always required by the accommodation provider, which usually is equal to 1 or 2 monthly fee. This has to be paid in advance before moving in, and it is released after moving out from the apartment. Please note that you might need to use public transportation to reach your destination comfortably.
