Hostels are one of the most convenient and cheapest means of accommodation. Due to these characteristics hostels are mostly located near city centres where all other houses are more expensive. They are the easiest way to save money and keep comfort during a trip. These budget-friendly accommodations grab the attention of modern backpackers, free-travellers, and especially students. Particularly in the cities where there are many universities, hostels are one of the two best options alongside dormitories for students to stay.

Although many students do not prefer to reside in hostels for a long time, there are countless beautiful hostels for the student mindset. Especially exchange students like hostels for their short term of stay in another country. It may seem like there are lots of challenges of travelling abroad, especially to the country you do not know the visa policy about. Pickvisa offers a free database to check the entry requirements of all countries in the world. Do not forget to check it and make your trip abroad more comfortable.
