Based on previous student responses, many have suggested using AirBnB for short term rentals while they are getting familiar with the city and getting to know other students. Additionally, St. Gallen offers various accomodation through their website which includes basic ammenities and supplies, see here. Finally, there are some unofficial St. Gallen Facebook groups such as Sharing is Caring (payment required and it costs 30 euro) and Wohnen in St. Gallen, which frequently post various housing options. It’s important to remember that many housing options in Switzerland are not furnished. We are not affiliated with any of the mentioned sites. Wishing you the best of luck on your studies and congrats!

Quote from Sofia Neumann on February 27, 2025, 1:15 pmHi, thank you for the inquiries. Friendly reminder we are not associated with St. Gallen University and run independently. Regarding housing, it’s best to start your search as soon as possible. It can take up to 6 months to find an apartment, based on various criteria. If you’re interested in living in St. Gallen provided housing, we suggest you contact the school as soon as you’ve received acceptance. Good luck with your housing search and let us know if you have any further questions!

Quote from Guest on July 29, 2025, 8:18 pmJust moved to St. Gallen not long ago. Tbh nightlife’s kinda dead compared to bigger cities like Zurich lol. But there’s still a few cool bars and shisha spots if you’re into that. I’m living near Marktplatz so it’s decent for going out, and like 15 min walk to uni. Found this site with a bunch of bars/restos, I’ve just been going through it and checking places out: https://freizeitmonster.de/blog/bars-st-gallen
Hope that helps — maybe see you around. I’m Karim btw, haven’t met another Karim here yet so if you meet one ask if they were writing on a forum. I can’t figure out how to make a profile on here. Good luck!
