Planning your stay in Bern

Where can I get information about Bern and the Univeristy of Bern?

Have a look at the homepage of the University of Bern and browse the brochure "Studying at the University of Bern" (english, deutsch) to get familiar with the University of Bern. Specific information for incoming students is provided by the Welcome Centre of the University of Bern. The homepage of Bern tourism provides a lot of useful information about the everyday life in Bern.

How can I find accommodation/housing in Bern?
