Students who need a visa for Austria are advised NOT to seek private accommodation, because they will need to present a rental contract or confirmation from an official student residence in order to apply for your visa!
Wels also has a youth hostel, where you might be able to stay the first days after your arrival. Please make sure you check the availability, as it is often booked out for whole groups, especially on weekends.
