Accomodation

Mikkeli

Mikkeli Student Housing Ltd (MOAS) is the easiest way to find accommodation for your exchange/study period. You can submit an application at MOAS website www.moas.fi. There is usually quite a long waiting list for apartments in autumn because of large number of new students in town. MOAS does its best to arrange an apartment for as many students as possible.

Be sure to write your email address correctly in the application form because MOAS will send you an email when they have an apartment reserved for you. The email includes instructions for paying the deposit fee (IBAN and SWIFT). You have approximately one week time to confirm the reservation and to pay the deposit fee. Without a reply, you will lose the reserved apartment and your application will not be on the waiting list anymore.

You need to apply for the accommodation at least two months prior to your exchange/study period! Mikkeli UAS will inform MOAS office about your acceptance as an exchange/degree student. You do NOT need to send the study certificate to MOAS, we will do it for you.

The deposit fees are 200 € for a room in a shared apartment and 300 € for a single-room apartment. The deposit must always be paid in advance.
