In general, students come first. Either exchange students spend­ing one or two semes­ters in Vorarl­berg or inter­na­tional students who’ve chosen to study full-time in our region. If there are any studios avail­able, we’re happy to offer them to other single tenants.

Exchange students can book their studio via FH Vorarlberg’s Inter­na­tional Office in Dorn­birn. You can also send a request via our website www​.ernashaus​.at or via e‑mail ta.su1732179233ahsan1732179233re@li1732179233am1732179233.

Your book­ing is confirmed as soon as we receive your €1,000 deposit.

We’ll be happy to send you all the detailed condi­tions upon your request. Students book our studio apart­ments per semes­ter (5 months). Once an apart­ment has been booked and you have paid the deposit confirm­ing the book­ing, you can only cancel if there’s a new tenant ready to take your place. Until further clar­i­fi­ca­tion, we’ll keep at least your deposit. If you cancel your contract during your stay, you will be required to pay rent for the entire semester.

All shared spaces are cleaned and main­tained by our clean­ing staff. The studio apart­ments must be care­fully main­tained and kept clean by the tenants.
