Accommodation
Finding accommodation in Prague, Czech Republic
Finding accommodation in an unfamiliar city can feel like a daunting task. Between navigating the language barrier, not knowing exactly where in the city to live, and making sure you’re not overpaying, there’s a lot to consider — but we’re here to help!
As a fairly small institution, we don’t have our own dorms. Typically our students find their own housing through the rental market or move into private dormitories, and we also have our own partner and recommended providers. Whichever option you choose, our Study Coordinator offers plenty of support and advice to help you to find accommodation easily, safely, and with as little stress as possible.
With inflation high across Europe, prices in the Czech Republic have risen significantly over the past few months, and unfortunately this includes the cost of accommodation in Prague. For 2024/25, students in Prague should expect to pay between around 400 — 1,000 EUR (10,000 CZK to 25,000 CZK) per month for either a private dorm, one bedroom in a shared apartment, or a studio. The location of your accommodation significantly impacts its cost.
In order to support you to find somewhere, we’ve partnered with Spotahome, an online platform with verified properties, straightforward contracts, and detailed information about the property and the neighbourhood. Or, if you prefer the option of a private dormitory, we recommend plenty of options in the Digital Welcome Desk, where you get an access once you have been accepted to NEWTON.
If you would rather find accommodation independently, using Facebook groups is common among our students, and there are also real estate agencies that specialise in housing for international students, providing contracts in English as well as in Czech. However you prefer to go about your housing search, make sure you fully understand any contract before signing – if you have any questions about a contract, you can contact the Study Coordinator for support.
