Frequently asked questions

Should I live near EPFL or UNIL?
Renens and Ecublens get you closer to EPFL, often at a softer rent than Flon or Ouchy. On the Danaides map, also weigh the m1 metro and TL buses: a steep hill or an extra change can cost more time than a slightly higher central rent.
Which Lausanne neighbourhoods for a flatshare?
Flon and the centre for nightlife and the CFF station; Ouchy and the lake for quieter living; Chauderon / Montbenon as a middle ground. Prilly, Pully and Lutry widen Greater Lausanne when the centre fills up at term start.
What CHF budget for a Lausanne flatshare?
Lausanne tracks Geneva closely on price: central rooms go fast, especially August–October. Filter in CHF on Swiss Map and check size + charges — a “cheaper” room outside the TL network can cost dearly in commute time to campus.
