Housing FAQs
When is the ideal period to start searching for an apartment?
For Fall Semester students, the best time to start searching is between May and early September. For the Spring Semester, it’s best to look between December and January. The earlier you begin, the better your chances of finding suitable accommodation.
How far are the residences from campus?
All housing options are located within walking distance of the EUC campus.
How can I book an apartment in the housing units?
Visit the website of the housing unit you’re interested in, fill out the application, and pay the required deposit. Each unit has its own deposit policy, so check the details on their site.
Are there any requirements to apply for housing at EUC?
Yes, you must be an enrolled student at European University Cyprus to be eligible for housing.
Can I apply for a short period of stay?
Priority is given to longer period contracts. However, depending on availability, the apartments at Cyprialife Residence can be leased for a period less than 12 month with an additional monthly charge of €30.
Is the electricity and water connected upon my arrival to the facility?
The electricity and water must be connected on the name of the resident. It is the responsibility of the resident to proceed with the necessary procedure in order to connect the electricity and water. However, a Connectivity Service is provided by the Housing Office and the resident can choose to connect the utilities prior to his/her arrival to the University. To do so, a resident must provide a power of attorney and pay the Connectivity Service cost, which is €40, so that the electricity and water will be connected prior to their arrival. Alternatively, a resident may choose to proceed with the connection upon his/her arrival. (Applicable only for Cyprialife Residence). Such expenses are included in the rental cost for UniHalls Trinity.

Guest policies vary by housing unit, so make sure to read the Terms and Conditions part of your contract where all policies are spell out.
