The SWOWi (Studentischer Wohnraum Winterthur) is responsible for arranging accommodation in the ZHAW student houses in Winterthur and for organising accommodation grants.

Music, entertainment and leisure

Winterthur offers many ways to let your hair down, including the Lounge Bar, the theatre, the sports clubs and the Photo Museum. And in the ZHAW itself, you will find the «alpha-cappella» choir.
