Being the person who changes their mind as frequently as if not more than their underwear, I've become dead-set on studying at the University of Geneva for six months on an exchange program with my university. Although I haven't yet applied, I'd figure I'd do some research beforehand on accommodation and the like.
I understand that I will most likely be staying in student digs (assuming I go), but I am wondering if homestays were a prevalent option in Geneva. If so, how does one go about organising a homestay with a local family? Also, I know that Switzerland is a ridiculously expensive country. Being on a measly student budget, I am also wondering if there were ways to cut corners on food and travel costs.
(Just to provide some background information, I'm a Bachelor of Arts - French/Politics and International Studies - student from Melbourne, Australia.)
Any help is more than welcome :)
