Uetlibergstrasse 111b Woko
Heyy!
I'm starting my Master's at ETH Zurich this September and finding accommodation has been really difficult. I just got an offer from the housing office for a room at Uetlibergstrasse 111b, and I have about 48 hours to decide, so I'd love to hear some opinions before accepting.
From the pictures, the building and the rooms look nice. The rent is around 900 CHF, which isn't cheap, but, from what I've seen, seems to be around the normal range for Zurich student housing.
My main concern is that my program is at the Hönggerberg campus, and the commute seems to take around 45–50 minutes by public transport. Since I'm from a big city and that's usually my average commute I don't necessarily mind. But, do you think it's worth trying to find something closer or is this still considered a good option for ETH students?
I'd also love to hear more about what the accommodation/community is like there. Is it social? Are there many ETH students/international students living there?
