Every year, more and more students choose Luxembourg as their place of study, attracted by the quality of education, the international dimension and the professional opportunities offered by the country. However, with this influx, finding student accommodation in Luxembourg can quickly become a real challenge.
Between the scarcity of available properties, sometimes high rents, administrative complexities and rental periods that are often unsuitable for stays of a few months, it is essential to do your research to find a furnished room, a functional studio or an all-inclusive accommodation solution that combines comfort, flexibility and a strategic location close to business districts such as Kirchberg.
In this article, we review the best accommodation options for students in Luxembourg.
What types of accommodation are available for students?
In Luxembourg, students have access to several types of accommodation, depending on their budget, length of stay and lifestyle. Furnished flats remain the most sought-after option for their independence, but they are often expensive. Shared flats allow students to reduce costs by sharing a flat with other students. There are also public and private university residences, usually close to campuses, although they fill up very quickly. Finally, newer formats such as co-living are becoming increasingly popular: these are furnished rooms with shared common areas, in a turnkey, practical and friendly environment.
The ideal cities and neighbourhoods to live in
In Luxembourg, certain neighbourhoods and towns are particularly well suited to student life thanks to their proximity to campuses, their accessibility by public transport and their dynamic atmosphere. Luxembourg City remains in high demand, particularly the neighbourhoods of Limpertsberg, Belair and Kirchberg. The latter is particularly popular with students on internships or work-study programmes, as it is home to many corporate headquarters, European institutions and banks. For those studying on the Belval campus, towns such as Esch-sur-Alzette and Differdange are strategic choices. Finally, the Bonnevoie neighbourhood is attractive for its more affordable rents, lively community life and good connections to the city centre. These areas offer a good balance between student life, professional opportunities and accessibility. What’s more, with a completely free public transport network throughout the country, getting from one neighbourhood to another or to your campus is easy, quick and economical, which is a real bonus for students.
Average prices and budget to be expected
Luxembourg is one of the most expensive countries in Europe when it comes to housing, and students are no exception. According to official data from the Luxembourg government, the average price for a furnished room in Luxembourg City is around €1,220 per month, excluding utilities, according to a 2022 study. This rate may vary depending on location, size, amenities included and length of stay. In addition, since 2022, rents have risen sharply due to the indexation of rents to inflation.
In addition, there is usually a deposit equivalent to two months’ rent, as well as additional charges (water, electricity, heating, internet), except in the case of all-inclusive accommodation. For students on internships or exchange programmes, the difficulty of finding a flexible lease for just a few months can also drive up the cost.
Where to look for student accommodation
To find student accommodation in Luxembourg, there are several options available to you: property platforms (such as Athome.lu or Immotop.lu), Facebook groups, university classified ads or agencies. But these searches can quickly become complex, especially when it is difficult to anticipate the actual cost: in addition to the rent, you often have to add utilities, subscriptions (internet, electricity, water), and sometimes agency fees, which can significantly increase your budget. This is where co-living stands out as a modern solution tailored to student life. At Flexiroom, everything is included in a single, transparent rent: furnished room, bills, internet, cleaning, with no agency fees. A simple, flexible and transparent solution, designed to make life easier for students, interns and young professionals.
Practical tips for successful research
Finding student accommodation in Luxembourg requires a minimum of organisation. It is recommended that you start your search at least three months before moving in, prepare all the necessary documents (ID, internship contract, proof of income, guarantor, etc.) and be wary of online scams. Choose reliable platforms and always ask for photos or a virtual tour if you are unable to visit in person. Planning ahead, comparing offers and understanding what is included in the rent will help you avoid unpleasant surprises.
Finally, to save time, avoid hidden costs and settle in with peace of mind, all-inclusive co-living is an ideal solution for students.
