COVID-19 - Exceptional measures :

The administration of the FMEL is closed until further notice in order to protect its employees, tenants and public. The FMEL can be reached by e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Take special care of yourself. 

The available housing will be visible on the portal throughout the year, as current residents cancel their lease. A large amount of housing will be available in summer because during this period, the majority of students finish their stay at the FMEL. New rental dates will be added in the coming weeks. Book now

We are happy to announce that this year we shall open Vortex, on the campus with 829 rooms and studios so there will be increased availability at FMEL. We shall post this accommodation on our reservation portal in spring of 2020. Precise dates will be announced in Spring 2020. Rentals at Vortex will be from August 2020.

Online booking portal

Since April 30, 2019, the FMEL has launched an online booking system.

By creating a personal profile on the booking portal, you can always check our availabilities and book your accommodation online.

As eligible student you will have the opportunity to 

• consult directly available housing
• select the object of your choice from several residences
• sort the accommodation according to your criteria: price, type of accommodation, location, bed size
• automatically receive contractual rental documents

Here are some benefits you will have:

• Simplified rents payments
• No need for guarantor, criminal record check or other official documents
• Presence of a house manager on site
• Lease on the 1st and 16th of each month (minimum duration 3 ½ months - max 5 years)
• Room for disable access and parking spaces on request

In a few steps, you can have confirmation of your reservation and the guarantee of accommodation without waiting time.

Step one: create an online profile (with the student's private email address)

Second step: select the start date of the lease

Third step: choice of residence and housing

Step Four: downloading documents

1. the identity card is required immediately
2.  registration documents at EPFL or UNIL (must be provided within 60 days of the lease start date)
3. Scholarship students (deadline 30 days after the beginning of the lease)

The last step - which will make the reservation definitive - will be the payment of the guarantee deposit.
