Costs for Temporary housing

Always make sure to book well in advance, as most affordable options will be fully booked at the beginning of the semester. Typically, the costs of temporary accommodations are non-refundable, even if you leave before the end of the stay - for example because you found a more permanent place to stay. It is advisable to take extra budget into account in case you are confronted with double housing costs.
