Finding a flat-- Working through agencies for finding your flat is the most difficult thing. They will take several weeks to process the applications and it is the major factor for creating lot of uncertainty. www.immostreet.ch gives all the details about vacancies. www.fmel.ch, lecazard are the students hostels and they give for phds for short term only (esp fmel). I booked one from india itself on mail in fmel and stayed there for 3 months. They ask you to pay advance too which you can arrange through your secretary. If you don't find anything, you can depend on youth hostels also- for more info..

Rammohan,
why don't you mention student guide for students who are studying in swiss/epfl instead just student guide, finding flat..

Hello.. your information was really helpful. I am coming down to laussane on aug 3rd week. I have just got a temporary accommodation for one month. Is it possible to get a place within a month? Please share your suggestion.
Looking forward. Thank you!

Hi Rammohan,
I am applying to EPFL in the CS Department this coming Fall. Your blog was quite helpful in providing a feel of what it is to be like in EPFL. Can you also help us with a breakup of the living expenses per month ? I had gone through some other pages which provide similar info but they differ by a margin.
