- **How to apply:** OeAD declared Vienna fully booked for the 2026/27 winter semester: applications for a September start are waitlisted and booking reopens only for move-ins from December 2026. A February start (summer semester) is unaffected. ÖJAB, home4students, WIHAST and STUWO run their own waiting lists and were open for September. OeAD itself names three fallbacks: VETHEIM (opens October 2026), The Fizz Brigittenau and The Social Hub.

A commercial residence costs about twice a dormitory (€970 vs €480). Prices are the AY 2026/27 rates published by the operators.
