Erasmus Room Swap

Heading abroad for Erasmus? Swap your room with a student going the other way. RoomSwapping connects Erasmus students across European cities for free, verified room exchanges.

How does an Erasmus room swap work?

Thousands of students move between European universities every semester — many leaving a room behind exactly where someone else needs one. An Erasmus room swap pairs you with a student travelling in the opposite (or a different) direction so you trade rooms instead of hunting for new accommodation.

It's a low-cost, low-stress way to sort housing for your exchange: you arrive somewhere already lived-in by a fellow student, and yours is looked after while you're away.

Frequently asked questions

Does an Erasmus swap have to be with my exact destination?

No. Swaps can be simultaneous or non-simultaneous and don't need to mirror your route exactly — what matters is that the dates and rooms work for both students.

Is it only for Erasmus students?

The concept fits any exchange or study-abroad student, but it's especially popular for Erasmus moves between European cities.

What does it cost?

A room swap is free — you exchange spaces rather than paying rent. Only optional rentals are paid.
