Accommodation

STFC holds leases for several properties in the region for accommodating students. The accommodation are found in residential buildings located in Meyrin/Geneva, Switzerland - many within reasonable walking distance to CERN.

Students are placed in one of the following types of accommodation: studio apartment, 1 bedroomed apartment, shared housing​ or residence apartment (apart-hotel). Although we cannot accept general requests for accommodation or location preferences, please do inform us of any specific concerns you may have concerning living arrangements. Individuals with reduced mobility should contact us with at least six months' advance notice. Please note that your accommodation can be subject to change at any time throughout the duration of your stay. ​

​All properties are furnished and in addition to large furniture items will include:

vacuum cleaner, kettle, iron and ironing board, basic kitchen equipment - saucepans, pan, cooking utensils, crockery - plates, cups, bowls, cutlery, basic glassware, shower curtain, bath mat and mattress protector

Please be advised that not every accommodation will have the following items. If these items are not present and are required by the occupant then it is their responsibility to purchase. The UK Liaison Office will not be able to reimburse the individual for these items:

replacement light bulbs, television, microwave, washing machine, dryer or toaster

Internet connection is already set up in each accommodation. No action necessary on the part of students.

All property damage, mould, leaks or broken items in your accommodation must be reported to the UK Liaison Office immediately. It is our obligation to inform the agencies/landlords, and often the insurance agency, so that we can minimise repair costs and damage to adjoining apartments.

We will arrange with you a convenient date at the end of your LTA for the Check-out. Accommodation must be returned to us in the condition it was upon your arrival.

All Students on LTA must agree to follow the Student Responsibilities January 2023.pdf and the CERN Code of Conduct. ​


Some Important Points:  

  • All accommodation includes insurance coverage for contents and civil liability insurance for the STFC tenants.
  • All STFC accommodation is located in residential areas. Do your part by following a few basic rules: no loud music/noise after 10.00 p.m., no rubbish in corridors and keep the accommodation tidy.
