Public dorms in Warsaw for students

hey there!
I am a Brazilian, studying in Canada and got the opportunity to go spend a semester in Poland!
very exciting, but scary at the same time hahha

i don't know if I should stick with univ dormitories or not. can someone give me some advice on housing?
is it easy to find a room in a house with other students? in Canada there's a website called craigslist that lists housing and all, is there something similar in Warsaw?

thank you!!!

What will be your resident status in Poland?

Thank you :)

are there public dorms?

There are dorms in Warsaw. Each belongs to an University, so if you're not a student of Politechnika Warszawska or Uniwersytet Warszawski (or other big public Warsaw's uni), then you will not get a place in them. You should ask your school weather they provide something. There is bigger demand than supply for dormitories in Warsaw, because they're cheaper than renting a room on free market. Who will get dormitory is calculated according to algorithm taking into account family earning, distance to home etc.

Dorms differs a lot according to standard. There are some new apartments with shared kitchen between 2 rooms and there are old block flats with small 14m2 rooms and 3 students in it and 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom per 13 rooms (13*3 = 39 people) floor. There is always option to pay more and share room with only 1 person or live alone.

What not to do... Don't say that you don't like vodka. What to do... When you for the party bring beers or vodka.

General experience is only positive.

I've seen your other topic where you write that you Alma Mater is Vistula. And I don't see anything about dorms on their website. Ask them about accommodation and read perhaps this:

I am not from Warsaw, but fast googling gave me result about private dorm:


aaaakademik.pl/oplaty.php

That looks much more expensive than renting privately.

It's not a public dorm and you don't have to search for a roommate.

Still expensive for a shared room in a place like that.

Merged: Student residences (University of Warsaw) your opinion about the place?

Hello! I got a scholarship to study one semester in University of Warsaw.
They gave me a room in one of the student residences. It is really cheap.
Can you tell me your opinion about the place? Or should I look for another one?

Which hall of residence? There are several and they are very different. Most are shared rooms, by the way.

They told me it is residence 3.. I have read they have only double and triple rooms

It doesn't look like top standard:

Does anyone know something about residence number 4 (university of warsaw) or lived there?

Thanks! What do u mean with "top standard"?

I mean, that it looks like old dorms. There are some renovated which look nicer. to show you difference:

New:



New usually have new furniture, less people per room and private toilette.
I don't know how rooms look like in Dorm nr 3, but the building and corridors look like not so new.

Oh! I understand! I thought about it.. not very nice, not very new..

I am worried about security, too. Might it be kind of dangerous?

dorms are secure.

Thanks!!! I think that is the most important.. Anyway, I will see another options, too.

Hi, everyone!
Need some help concerning this topic!
In the end of September I'll move to Warszawa to study in WU. What's the best Dorm among 6 of rhem?
Also I'm considering option with a room or flat. In this case what is the best district in Warsaw to rent an appartment to get to WU in the most convenient way and best district to live in (not really expensive)?

Thank you!

Anybody Knows About Dormitory "Ustronie" is it a good Drom ? i think its too far ..but this SEKS already put me there, so I dunno hOw to change it to a nearer 1 ?

I think that you can ask for changing place. If somebody decides to leave you may get his place instead.
