International students not provided with an on-campus housing must find their own private accommodation. When seeking accommodation on your own, it is essential to start well in advance as it has proved quite difficult, especially in the beginning of the academic year when Polish students are also looking for accommodation in Warsaw.
A good start is to get in touch with your buddy who can provide you with useful website addresses of apartment’s ads as well as inform you about main real-estate agencies operating in Warsaw. On many occasions buddies personally help you look for accommodation during the first days of your stay as the CIPD does not have a housing office to assist you with this matter.
We advise all students to book a room in one of many youth hostels in the city centre for the initial period of your stay while you look for your housing:
Due to high tourist season between May and October it is recommended to make your booking at least 5 weeks in advance.
Please, note that the Warsaw School of Economics does not have a contract with any real estate agency nor can be held responsible for any possible problems with lease contract or prospective landlords.
