Frequently Asked Questions

HappyFlat is an all-inclusive, high-end form of student accommodation with the particularity of being aimed at international students. In addition to fully equipped accommodation with large common areas, services and events are offered. The watchword is community. Just like an American-style fraternity, we export this concept and adapt it to Europe for any student going to live in a new country during his or her schooling so that he or she can have the best possible experience.

The majority of our members are students from all over the world, between 18 and 28 years old (on average). Whether you are an exchange student, an intern or a graduate student, you can join HappyFlat. Of course, we do not exclude people from the host country as long as you have a sharing and international mindset.
