    • Are single rooms in the Strozzigasse and Kenyongasse allocated to new dorm occupants?
    Unfortunately, no. Given the limited number of single rooms, these are allocated internally. After you have begun residency, you may request to have your name placed on the waiting list.


    What must I do when moving into a dorm?
    Prior to Occupancy:
  • Arrange for a date of occupancy with the relevant dorm administrator in a timely fashion. This is the date on which you take possession of the keys and receive a tour of the dorm.
  • Arrange for an automatic rent payment order at your bank.
  • Pay the first month's rent, deposit, and, if required, the occupancy fee.
  • Return the signed contracts and other documents to STUWO AG.
  • Moving in occurs only from 8:30 am to 11:30 am Mo-Fr.

    • When Moving in Bring the Following:
  • Bed linens (sheet, pillow cover, blankets).
  • Plates and utensils.
  • Computer with network card (network cables are available at cost in the dorm office).
  • Laundry detergent (washing machines and dryers are available).
  • Toiletries (shampoo, soap, washcloths, etc.).
  • ATM card with quick function (for dorm laundry-room use).

    • Process for Moving In:
  • Tour of the dorm.
  • Completion and signing of the inventory list.
  • Delivery of keys by the dorm administrator.
  • Completion of the police registration form (The signature of the dorm administrator is required).

    • Parking facilities differ. Please ask the relevant dorm administrator for details.

    What must I do when moving out the dorm?
    Before moving out:
  • Submit the written cancellation in a timely fashion (3-month advance notice).
  • Arrange for a date to move out with the relevant dorm administrator.
  • Apply for mail forwarding at the local post office (if relevant).

    • Process for moving out:
  • Room inspection with the dorm administrator
  • Sign the protocol
  • Return the keys
  • Unregister your residency!

    • Parking facilities differ. Please ask the relevant dorm administrator for details. Moving out occurs only from 8:30 am to noon Mo-Fr.

    Must one arrange for one's own roommate for double occupancy or is it possible to apply for double occupancy alone, whereby you choose my roommate from the other applicants?
    In the STUWO dorms (Strozzigasse 6-8, 1080 Wien und Kenyongasse 23-25, 1070 Wien) single rooms are allocated internally. This means that new residents may only apply for double-occupancy rooms (Cat. C,D and E). It is not necessary to apply with a roommate. Roommates are assigned according to gender by the dorm administrator. Of course, we do our best to accommodate special wishes.


    Is it possible to apply for housing in several dorms with one application or must I complete one application for each dorm in which I might wish to reside?
    Yes - it is possible to indicate your interest in more than one dorm when filling out the application. As room becomes available, you then receive a corresponding offer. (Unfortunately we can not take into account prioritized requests.)
