oving to Austria through university entrance is probably the easiest, quickest, and cheapest way to immigrate to this beautiful alpine country.

But if this process still scares you, read this article about the stages of moving with the purpose of learning, so that everything will fall into place.

Having received a positive response from the university, you need to think about housing. And then the eternal question arises: what is better, an apartment or a hostel? We will try to understand in detail.

If the money question (reference to the student’s budget) is not worth it, but you want to live in maximum comfort, then, of course, an apartment! Large and with a beautiful view.

Most often, those who move are still limited in money. And everyone wants to take off cheaper. If cheaper, then the hostel! And do not be afraid of the Austrian dormitories, they are beautiful (private toilet, bathroom and kitchen – the usual things in such hostels).

Below we give you a comparative table of apartments and hostels based on the minimum area (per person):
