Dorm vs. Private Housing: Where Should You Live During Erasmus?

Choosing between a dorm and private housing during your Erasmus exchange is a big decision that can shape your entire experience. Dorms offer a lively social environment where you can easily meet fellow students, participate in events, and immerse yourself in campus life. However, they may come with shared spaces, noise, and less privacy. On the other hand, renting a private apartment gives you more independence, personal space, and flexibility, but it can be more expensive and sometimes isolating. The right choice depends on your budget, lifestyle, and how much you value social interaction versus personal comfort.
