Aalto students commonly apply for housing through HOAS or the Aalto University Student Union (AYY); availability is competitive and should be addressed early. Aalto has described about 2,200 joint HOAS and AYY flats in Otaniemi housing roughly 3,000 students, alongside other operators. Costs vary by room, shared flat and location, so applicants should use current HOAS/AYY listings and Finland's official financial guidance rather than rely on a fixed estimate.

Otaniemi has campus restaurants and cafés with menus published through campus services. Students with dietary, religious or allergy-related needs should check each restaurant's current menu and accommodation practice. Helsinki and Espoo offer broader international grocery and restaurant options, while food and transport costs should be included in the student's personal budget.

Aalto's main campus is in Otaniemi, Espoo, in the Helsinki metropolitan area, with a second location in Mikkeli. The campus combines the Learning Centre, student services, workshops, restaurants, cafés, libraries and the Väre arts building with a strong startup and research ecosystem. Aalto says 70–100 companies are founded in its ecosystem each year, while campus services include Starting Point support, IT services, self-study spaces and emergency procedures.

Aalto provides campus emergency procedures, security guidance and student support through campus services. Finland's emergency number is 112; students should save it and follow Aalto's current security instructions. No university can guarantee individual safety, so students should review accommodation, transport and health guidance after arrival. Aalto's campus guide identifies Starting Point Support, counseling and guidance, library services, IT support and student-facing campus services. International applicants use Aalto Admission Services and the national Studyinfo.fi application route for the relevant intake. Students should arrange insurance, registration and residence-permit steps according to current Finnish Immigration Service and Aalto instructions.
