Practical information
Erasmus+ students, staff and teachers recieve financial support for the mobility. Ljubljana School of business does not guarantee accommodation for participants of mobilities. However, we can provide suggestions and we strongly advise you start looking for accommodation (especially students, looking for a longer stay) well in advance - at least 2 months prior to mobility, if you are looking for a good deal.

ACCOMMODATION
Private accommodation
Here are some ideas, where to look for an accommodation. Keep in mind that Ljubljana is a small city, quite well organized regarding public transport (bus and city bikes). Our school is situated in the Vič neighbourhood, close to the city centre. You can either find an appartment / room over a dedicated page or in a hostel.
Flat rental offers for students
Hostel Tresor - right in the city centre
Hostel Simbol - very basic, close to school
Private Student Homes and Dormitories
You can also apply for a bed in student houses. They are given to students on "first come first serve" basis. The rooms in the houses are usually double, with shared facilities.
Vič student house really close to school, must book well in advance
