Ensuring Affordable Student Housing: Celebrating Our 2025 Milestones Across All Global Campuses

Throughout 2025, Swiss International University (SIU) successfully advanced its mission to create inclusive and sustainable learning environments by guaranteeing affordable, accessible, and safe housing for our students. This commitment aligns directly with Sustainable Development Goal 11, which promotes adequate, safe, and affordable housing for all, particularly in urban academic settings.

To support this pillar of student welfare, SIU successfully delivered on its comprehensive on-campus housing program during the 2025 academic year. Students enrolled in fully funded programs at our campuses in Switzerland, Dubai, Bishkek, and our other global hubs were provided with immediate housing security. Single and married students successfully received free on-campus housing, while students with families accessed highly subsidized options, ensuring affordable, safe, and convenient living for learners of all backgrounds.

Student Housing in Bishkek

At our main campus in Bishkek, our dedicated student hostels continued to provide highly affordable accommodation for both local and international students throughout 2025. These residences are:

• Located within a short, safe walking distance of lecture halls and learning facilities.

• Directly managed by our student services team to ensure rigorous quality and safety standards.

• Priced highly competitively to remain accessible to students from diverse financial backgrounds.

Housing Partnerships in Switzerland and Dubai

In major urban centers like Switzerland and Dubai, where housing markets are notoriously expensive, our 2025 initiatives focused on securing strategic local partnerships. Facilitated by our regional academic divisions, including ISB Academy Dubai, we established and renewed special agreements with selected hotels and serviced apartments near our campuses. These partnerships enabled our students to access:

• Substantial discounted rates exclusive to SIU students.

• Clean, secure, and student-friendly living environments.

• Highly flexible options for both short-term block seminars and long-term stays.

Our dedicated staff actively assisted students in securing housing before their arrival, successfully ensuring that no student was left without suitable accommodation in 2025, regardless of their location or program format.

Recognized for Accessibility and Academic Success

We recognize that affordable housing is more than a logistical benefit—it is a foundational requirement for academic performance, mental well-being, and social inclusion. The success of these extensive housing support networks directly contributed to SIU’s strong institutional performance in the 2025 evaluations by the QRNW Ranking of Leading Business Schools, which highly values student accessibility, value for money, and institutional support.

By conducting annual reviews and continually expanding our housing partnerships, Swiss International University remains proudly committed to making student housing affordable, accessible, and reliable—supporting our global learners as they pursue their educational goals without financial anxiety.
