2. The main accommodation modes for studying in Switzerland

1, student dormitory

Dormitories are generally built in or near the school, so everyone can go to class on foot, which is an ideal way. Student application will be easier. They can confirm their qualifications by applying for the passage directly in the dormitory of the school.

Configuration is generally double room and multi-room, each person has his own bed wardrobe and desk, and needs to use the bathroom and kitchen. Basic furniture needs to be purchased by yourself. Students also need to comply with the requirements of the dormitory, and they need to confirm their identity when entering and leaving, so the safety will be greatly guaranteed.

2. Mixed apartment

WG(Wohngemeinschaft) is a unique way of accommodation in Switzerland. If you don't successfully apply to the dormitory, you can consider WG, because it is generally more suitable and the price is cost-effective, but you need to confirm your roommate in advance in order to move in smoothly.

The area of the house will be larger than the dormitory, and everyone who lives in it will have their own bedroom. Everyone should share the bathroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. In addition, the cost needs to be shared equally. Rules can be made in advance, which can reduce the troubles in life.

3. Host family

Local families will also provide accommodation and catering services for everyone, and because they live together, everyone will have a better understanding of local life, and with the help of their families, they can better adapt to life and improve their self-care ability.

You will have your own bedroom when you check in. If the facilities are complete, you will also have a separate bathroom. You need to apply for additional catering services. You don't need money if you don't need it, but you must confirm with your family in advance when you use various items.

4. Single accommodation

Generally, students who choose to rent their own houses are renting, and the budget is relatively high. There will be a special institution or organ in the apartment where a single person lives. This kind of house is specially used for renting, and its configuration will be more modern and comfortable.

Room infrastructure is complete, electrical appliances will be fully equipped, and there will be a kitchen for everyone to cook. I suggest you confirm early to ensure a smooth check-in. After all, schools are also the peak period for renting houses.

3. Swiss study abroad arrangement guide

First, contact the airport.

As a freshman, if there is no guidance, it is easy to get lost, and the new arrival in language is definitely an obstacle. Therefore, after confirming your flight, you need a contact person to pick up the plane as soon as possible, and general schools will have corresponding services.

Students will be directly driven to school, and everyone can apply for admission and registration in time, which is the most convenient way. You need to contact the relevant personnel by phone and tell them your flight information, personal appearance and contact information.

Second, check the luggage.

After arriving at the airport in advance, everyone can go to the lobby to exchange tickets. If there are no other arrangements, you can check your luggage directly and give it to the staff for inspection. When they are correct, they will be branded and everyone can enter the waiting hall.

In addition to going through the security check, international students also need to be asked the basic questions of the staff to confirm everyone's identity. Although it is strict, everyone can answer truthfully when checking the carry-on baggage, which is relatively safe.

Third, boarding and landing

You also need to fill in the entry card on the plane, mainly to register your basic information, so that the entry personnel can grasp your situation conveniently. If you have any luggage to declare, you need to fill it out, so you can check it directly when you get off the plane, which can save time.

After landing, students should go to the relevant entry ports of foreigners for proper identity check. It may take a long time for international students to adjust their identity certificates and entry cards before they can get their luggage.

Fourth, apply for admission.

Except for those who contact the airport to pick up the plane, they usually wait in the lobby in advance. The better the position at this time, the better. After confirming your identity, if you don't need to wait for someone, take everyone directly to school.

After you get off the bus, you will be received by a senior student, confirm the location of your professional college, and then ask the staff to fill out the form and show your own materials. After authentication, you can get the official status of international students.
