Prague remains one of the most popular student destinations in Central Europe. Every year, thousands of international students come to study at prestigious institutions like the University of Economics (VŠE), the Czech Technical University (ČVUT), the Metropolitan University Prague (MUP), and Charles University.
While choosing a faculty is the first step, finding affordable student housing in Prague with a good commute is the key to a successful semester. When you’re getting used to being in a new country while balancing schoolwork and trying to meet new people, the last thing you want to do is spend hours every day on public transportation.
Currently, areas like Palmovka and Střížkov (Prague 8) are the top choices for students seeking the perfect balance between budget, comfort, and accessibility– and Bro-coli offers housing in both of these areas.
1. Commute Times: How Fast Can You Get to University?
Living near Metro Lines B and C in Prague 8 keeps you close to most of the city’s major campuses. Here is a breakdown of travel times from our Palmovka and Střížkov locations:
- VŠE (University of Economics): From Palmovka (Metro B), you can reach the campus near Winston Churchill Square in just 10–12 minutes. Simply travel to Náměstí Republiky or Hlavní nádraží and take a short walk or tram ride to finish the trip.
- ČVUT (Czech Technical University): Students heading to the Dejvice campus will have a 20–25 minute commute. A quick transfer at Florenc to Metro Line C will take you straight to the university hub.
- Metropolitan University Prague (MUP): With campuses in Strašnice and central Prague, students can expect an average travel time of 15–20 minutes.
- Charles University (UK): The Faculty of Humanities in Prague 8 (Libeň) is close enough to reach in just a few minutes on local transport.
2. Why Choose Co-living Over Traditional Dorms?
When searching for student accommodation in Prague, you generally face three choices: university dormitories, private apartments, or modern co-living spaces.
- Dormitories: Often the cheapest option, but they come with shared rooms and limited privacy.
- Private Apartments: These offer independence, but prices in central Prague have skyrocketed, and they often require high agency commissions.
- Bro-coli Co-living: A balanced alternative offering fully furnished rooms starting from 300 € per month.
