Most exchange students book a room in a student dorm via the Austrian Exchange Service (OeAD). OeAD arranges rooms in student dorms and students pay their monthly rent accordingly. This is the easiest and most convenient way to find relatively inexpensive housing. MCI cooperates with the student dorm “Internationales Studentenhaus” (ISH). Exchange students can book a room at ISH directly through MCI. Finding private housing in Innsbruck is challenging, especially at the beginning of a new semester. Nevertheless, students who are willing to invest considerable time and effort may be able to find a room in a shared apartment or a studio.
