Accommodation
How to apply for University accommodation?
STEP 1: While filling the online application in the Accommodation section answer YES to the question Are you interested in applying for a place in a University dormitory?
STEP 2: Wait for an email from the IRO regarding accommodation. At least 6 weeks before the start of the semester you will receive information on whether you have been assigned a place in one of the dormitories.
STEP 3: Confirm the assigned place.
Short-term students are offered accommodation at University dormitories:
- DS1 “Muchomorek”,
- DS2 “Żwirek”,
- DS3 “Kic”,
- DS4 “Zamenhof”,
- DS5 “Smyczkowa”,
- DS6 “Radomska”,
- DS7 “Sulimy”;
and two University guest houses: Hera and Sokrates.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to indicate the preferred dormitory or guest house.
Rooms available
The offered places are mostly in double rooms (to be shared with one other student) with a very limited number of single rooms. Bathrooms and kitchens are to be shared with other students. Monthly rent is between 530 and 950 PLN (125 – 220 EUR), depending on the dormitory. Priority for single rooms is given to PhD students.
Always inform the IRO if you want to resign from the University accommodation – both before and after the place is assigned. If you wish to give up a place which you have already confirmed inform the IRO about your decision as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that once you resign from the University accommodation you cannot apply again. Resigning from a place without informing the IRO may result in additional charges.
Once you receive an accommodation offer in one of our dormitories and confirm it, you will receive reservation fee details.
Reservation fee should be paid within 7 days from the day you receive instructions from us. Confirmation of payment should be sent to iro.incoming@adm.uw.edu.pl. Once you check into the dormitory, the reservation fee becomes your deposit – you will receive it back upon the check out, if no damage was done.
Reservation fee applies only to the university dormitories. If you were assigned a place in the university guest house („Hera” or „Sokrates”), you will have to pay a deposit upon your check-in.
Regulations of Student Dormitories
Check-in can be done within the administration working hours – 9:00-14:00.
During the check-in you will need:
- ID card/Passport

*The deposit (500 PLN / ~115 EUR) should be paid upon checking-in to the guest house and will be given back at the end of your stay (if no damage was done).
