Private Accommodation

The dorms are not for you? The dorms are at full capacity and you didn't get in?  Wanna try something else? Go private! You can find rooms and flats through an agency or on your own, usually via Facebook groups. 

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STUDENTS FROM 3rd COUNTRIES: Students who apply for a Czech visa will also need an accommodation contract or confirmation of a preliminary accommodation contract to submit at the embassy to be included in the visa process! Therefore, you should communicate this necessity with the property owner as soon as possible to receive your visa on time, thus before the beginning of the semester.
