Why? In a Wohngemeinschaft one gets to know other people as well let them be exchange students or Swiss students.
Personal comments:
The Wohnungsdienst is quite expensive. With some effort one can find better accommodation for a better price. The internet is quite usefull - unisg.ch - search - Wohnungsmarkt

Why? Great idea, just need to have luck with the flatmates.
Personal comments:
I requested to live with students, but I ended up living with a hothead, arrogant nincompoop (ie- he thought he was smart, and he rides around in a SMART company car), his gorilla girlfriend (I swear, she resembled a gorilla), and a cool guy from Italy. Had no problems with the guy from Italy, obviously, but everything else was miserable. Just a complete and utter conflict of personalities. The rent was too high, didn't get anything in return, and decided to move apartments for the second semester (I'm writing this assessment for my first semester only, as it was quite simply an unforgettable experience). Now obviously this doesn't happen all the time, and I must say that the university's apartment search service is quite good; I guess I just got unlucky.
