On-campus housing applications can now be submitted, with a total of 1,219 places in thirteen dorms available to first-year students from September.
After the admission points were announced, student life in Debrecen became easier to plan, and so one of the serious questions to ponder in August is whether would-be students would live in dorms or rent an apartment off campus.
Students of the University of Debrecen are in the lucky position to be able to choose from as many as 4,700 places according to their needs and budgets, out of which more than 1,200 await freshers, which means that almost one fifth of all newly admitted students can live on campus.
Young people can even rent single rooms in some dorms, but the two, three and four-bed “community spaces” are also popular. Dorm fees run between HUF 12,000 and 35,000; of course, the single rooms, offering full independence, are the most expensive.
The University of Debrecen has dorms on each campus, which means that students can find lodging in the closest dorm regardless of the programme they are enrolled to. Students, however, also enjoy living in a community representing a diversity of academic areas, in renovated rooms and apartments serving as their homes away from home, equipped with high-speed internet among other things.
University dorms offer a variety of services ranging from snack bars, cafés, pizzerias, libraries, gyms and saunas; but “Tisza István” Dormitory, for example, even has its own swimming pool. The dormitory’s cultural committees organise cultural and community events, concerts, competitions and excursions around the year.
“First-year students must mail in their applications for a dormitory place by 12 August, the same date is the deadline for the application for regular, need-based stipends. We make all information available on the website
koli.unideb.hu, in order to help would-be freshers”, said
Imre Csiszár, director of the university dormitories.
