  Admission 

As in many other European cities, the demand for reasonably priced accommodation options is very high, and therefore student housing facilities are limited. At the same time, the city’s private rental market is considerably cheaper than that in other European cities, and therefore is rather appealing to international students studying at RSU. Below you will find several suggestions when looking for a place to live in Rīga. 

HOSTELS

In the first few days after arrival some students choose to stay in various student hostels around Rīga, like Posh Backpackers, Dome Pearl Hostel, Naughty Squirrel, Red Nose Hosteletc. Even though RSU does not cooperate with these hostels, many of our students have stayed there and left a positive feedback, therefore if the price and services suit you, feel free to contact them.

APARTMENT RENTAL IN RIGA

Renting an apartment in Rīga is cheaper, if you are willing to share: the average costs per person will be lower if you are, for example, five students renting a five-room flat, rather than renting a one room flat on your own. The price also depends on the quality of the flat and the area, but the average price for a one room apartment is EUR 250.00 or higher. If you are thinking about renting a flat, please keep in mind that the utility costs can be quite high, starting from EUR 70.00 in summer up to EUR 200.00 in winter. These costs include water, electricity, central heating in winter, etc.

If you are interested in renting a flat, you can use the services of real estate agencies and individual agents and other websites that offer apartment rental.
