| I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question. I am going to start working at EPFL as a postdoc in a week. I was wondering how much money do I need to bring for the expenses of the first few weeks before I get a salary from the school, assuming that I use my credit cards to pay for the hotel and food. | |

It depends on if you are going to have your permanent housing set right away and if it is furnished. When you pay a security deposit and furniture, it will always be more than you expect.
Other costs that you cant put on a credit card:
Insurance- about 200 chf per month
Immigration papers 85 francs
