Student Housing

AAU is proud to offer students the opportunity to live with classmates from different countries and cultures in the heart of Prague, only 20 minutes from the AAU campus, in a lively district full of art, parks, and restaurants.

About Zeitraum Student Housing

AAU is proud to partner with Zeitraum Student Housing as our exclusive provider.
Located at U Průhonu 56, in  Prague 7, in a newly refurbished building, Zeitraum offers housing for AAU students and other young professionals in Prague. The building is approximately 25 minutes to the AAU campus by public transport and offers facilities equipped for comfortable student living. 

The building has 7 floors, 111 total rooms, and the possibility to choose from double or single rooms. 

It’s no mistake that Holešovice has been named one of the top 10 coolest neighborhoods in Europe according to TheGuardian.com. AAU students have the opportunity to live in Prague 7, the original industrial quarter, where factory buildings and abandoned warehouses have since turned into art galleries and breweries on the banks of the Vltava River. Thanks to the convenient location and recent surge in popularity Holešovice is home to an eclectic group of students, international expats, and locals alike. In this up-and-coming district, you can find: 

U Průhonu, single room
U Průhonu, shared kitchen

Cancellation or postponement due to visa problems

  • Students must provide evidence of reasonable efforts to apply for the visa in a timely way, and notify AAU in writing of delays or denials.
  • Visa delay:  Students who have paid at least 50% of the rent and are unable to attend for the planned semester due to visa problems, that are beyond student’s control, may ask to be placed on a waitlist by notifying AAU Housing in writing at least 30 days prior to the check-in date. Housing fees already paid will be fully refunded (including the deposit) if there is no capacity in AAU housing. In such an occasion AAU will help the student find alternative accommodation.
  • Visa denial:  Housing fees already paid will be refunded (minus the non-refundable deposit) should the visa be denied for reasons beyond student’s control and AAU has been informed at least 30 days prior to check-in date. A letter from the embassy or consulate detailing the visa denial must be provided in order to consider a request. Please be noted that if the reason for visa denial is on the applicants’ side (ex. providing wrong documents etc.), they will not be eligible for the refund.
  • Students who do not receive their visas and do not notify AAU housing at least 30 days prior to the move-in date will receive no refund. 
  • Cancellation by AAU: If a reservation is not paid in full by the final payment due date, AAU reserves the right to cancel the reservation and return payments already made minus the CZK 11,000 processing fee.
