Reservations

Dear students,

Any eligible student can check availability and choose their housing by creating a personal profile on the reservation portal.

We would like to remind you of the following:

  • Available rooms are posted at least two months before the start date of the lease.

  • Availabilities are posted daily depending on lease terminations and cancellations. If no room appears on the portal for the selected date, this means that there is no availability.

  • Only students registered in a Bachelor or Masters program at EPFL, UNIL or HES in the Vaud Canton are eligible to rent accommodation at the FMEL.

  • There is no waiting list.

Enrolment obligatory

Please note that you must upload your Enrolment certificate or proof of university application during the booking process. You will be asked to do so once you've selected a room.

You will receive a reminder to upload your final registration certificate 2 months after the start of your lease.

Make the FMEL your home - a friendly, comfortable, and stimulating place to live.
