Allocation of places in dormitories of Moscow universities. The best student dormitories in Russia. New University dormitories

What does a student need to study? An educational institution, a head on your shoulders and a place to live. Renting a room in a student dormitory in Moscow is not always possible and not the best idea.

Student dormitories require a large number of students. Many of us went through our “best college years.” But we associate a hostel not with a place of study and knowledge, but with adventure and fun.

What's the point of studying when there are so many interesting things to do? Wander around the floors, smuggle alcohol and run to the next dorm. Practice shows that these actions seriously distract from studies. Well, let! But students who do not live in student dormitories study better and achieve more from life. Because they are less likely to be distracted by nonsense.

A room for students will provide more than a place in a dorm, which still needs to be obtained. Many visiting students in Moscow are left without a hostel. And there are two rational options:

Rent a room for a student (costs a pretty penny and does not contain any protection);
Find a hostel that you can rent for a long time for little money (a budget option with 24/7 security and household appliances).

Dormitory for students - Mikhail's story

Not all students are given the opportunity to get a free place in a dormitory. In addition, many student dormitories are much more expensive than dormitories near the Moscow Ring Road. It is sad that student dormitories in Moscow and St. Petersburg are being turned into cash cows. But there is a way out.

Students of the Institute of World Economy and Informatization rented a room in our dormitory on the Lublin line (Moscow, Stavropolskaya str., 84) for 2.5 years. We talked to them before leaving.

Of course, this is an unprofessional interview, but we tried.

Mikhail, why did you and your friends choose our hostel?
It so happened that I entered several universities, but chose IMEI. Due to delays with documents, I was left without a hostel. There were a lot of us there. So we decided to look for hostels nearby. We were looking for a room for 3. We found you.

I see, but why did you make this choice?
Renting an apartment was expensive. We looked at bus routes. Bus 228 runs from your hostel to the university - 1 hour and at the university. This was a key factor, and the price, to be honest, was small. And when we started talking about the fact that we were looking for a dormitory for students for 3 years, your 10% discount put an end to our search. Where to live for 7 thousand rubles a month? Nowhere. Our friends in student dorms pay more.

What did you like and dislike?
It was difficult at first. Because there are adults around. Somehow I don't feel at ease. But over time we got used to it. I liked the Internet and that they allowed me to bring my own refrigerator into the room. I didn’t like that there were practically no young people and the area was so-so: garages, high voltage all around - it was scary to come back from school late, especially alone. And it was also boring. But it was very easy to find time for study and work.

What are the conclusions? A student dormitory is not necessarily a student dormitory at a university. You can also live in regular dorms. You just need to gather a group of comrades and find comfortable housing. Students from RGSU and the International Academy of Communications once lived in our Reutov dormitory.

If you are looking for a dormitory for students in Moscow for 3 years, then try to calculate the options from Region Group - we will give a discount. We have several dormitories where students can be accommodated. For availability, please call the website.

When choosing a university to study at, many students overlook one of the most important factors - the quality of student life. But a university campus, or campus, is one of the components of a student’s full-fledged education and recreation. The surrounding environment plays a vital role in how a student feels during their studies and how satisfied they are with the education they receive.

This is how our top five best campuses in Russia turned out. Which Russian campuses would you include on this shortlist?

The Unified State Exam gives graduates the opportunity to freely apply for admission to universities throughout Russia. However, when entering a university in another city, a student invariably wonders about the living conditions in the new place. A very convenient option in this case is a student dormitory. This is usually cheaper than a rented apartment and more convenient. Read our collection of dormitories and campuses of which universities can be called the best in Russia.

Most foreign students live in a dormitory while studying in Russia. As a rule, it is located near educational buildings; the cost of living here is much lower than in a rented apartment or hotel.

What kind of dormitories are there for foreign students in Russia?

Dormitories in Russian universities are of several types: corridor, block and apartment. In corridors, showers, toilet rooms and common kitchens are located on the floor, in block rooms - in each section. In apartment-type dormitories, the bathroom and kitchen are located directly in the apartment. Many universities have dormitories of all three types, and foreign students can be accommodated in any of them - depending on availability.

This happens, for example, in Ural Federal University(Ural Federal University) and Siberian Federal University(SFU). IN Novosibirsk State University all foreigners live in a block-type building, in Nizhny Novgorod State University named after. N.I. Lobachevsky(Lobachevsky University) – bellhop. And in Tyumen State University(TSU) foreign students are accommodated exclusively in apartment-type dormitories.

Some Russian universities accommodate their foreign students in modern hotel-type dormitories. For example, in Kazan Federal University(KFU) they live in the Universiade Village quarter, which was built for participants of the 2013 Universiade, held in Kazan. And in Far Eastern Federal University(FEFU) students are moving into a complex built for the 2012 APEC summit. The living conditions correspond to the level of a four-star hotel; the rooms are regularly cleaned by maids.

The dormitories of some universities are located in historical buildings. Yes, foreign students National Research Technological University "MISiS" are located in a unique building built at the beginning of the twentieth century - the “House-Commune”, an architectural monument of the constructivist era. But this does not mean that students live in insufficiently comfortable conditions - recently the hostel was completely restored and modernized, but retained its historical appearance.

Living conditions in dormitories

Typically, one to four people live in each room. As a rule, undergraduate students live in two or three, less often four, people in a room, master's students are most often accommodated in twos, but graduate students in some universities are accommodated in singles. Foreign students can be accommodated either together with Russian students or in buildings allocated specifically for citizens of other countries.

For example, in Tomsk Polytechnic University(TPU) foreign students of the preparatory department, who have only recently arrived in Russia, live separately - university specialists help them adapt to student life. And in Baltic Federal University(IKBFU named after Immanuel Kant) foreigners live together with Russians and thus improve their knowledge of the Russian language, and also become more familiar with the culture of the new country.

Peoples' Friendship University of Russia It is not for nothing that (RUDN University) has a reputation as one of the most international universities; they adhere to the following rule: students from different countries must live in each dorm room. This way they gain cross-cultural communication skills, learn more about the traditions of other peoples and learn to negotiate.

One of the popular options for “cultural exchange” is cooking national dishes. The guys prepare their usual food and treat their neighbors. Kitchens in most dormitories are equipped with electric stoves, microwave ovens, and sometimes a basic set of dishes. This is enough to cook lunch or dinner.

Most dormitories of Russian universities are within walking distance from the main academic buildings. However, students at some universities have to travel to lectures by transport. Yes, students Higher School of Economics(HSE) come to the academic building by metro or bus - the journey takes 25-40 minutes. And the FEFU campus area is so large that students and teachers move around it on free shuttles.

Much attention is paid student safety. For this purpose, many dormitories have video surveillance systems installed, and watchmen and security staff work around the clock. Typically, students enter the building using passes, and in some dormitories even using fingerprints. In addition, a fire safety system is installed in each building. In a word, the administration of the hostels is trying to do everything to ensure that foreign students live comfortably and calmly. Some universities even send dormitory staff to English courses so that they can more easily communicate with and help residents from other countries.

Cost of living in student dormitories

The price depends on the city where the university is located, the type of dormitory, the number of students living in one room, and some other factors. For example, in Peter the Great St. Petersburg University(SPbPU) the cost of living varies depending on the type and form of training, educational program, as well as the level of comfort. Students studying on a budget will have to pay 960 rubles (about $16) per month, and those studying on a contract basis will have to pay from 3,000 rubles (from $50) per month.

Accommodation in a hostel (MIPT) costs 1000-1200 rubles (17-20 dollars) per month. In the capital's dormitories National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI"– 600 rubles (10 dollars) per month, and in the Obninsk branch – 500 rubles (9 dollars). At SFU, accommodation fees range from 590 to 930 rubles (from 10 to 16 dollars) per month, depending on the type of dormitory.

At Tyumen State University, the cost for all students is the same and is 670 rubles (11 dollars) per month. The fee for a dormitory on the UrFU campus does not exceed 1,100 rubles ($18) per month. FEFU students pay 3,700 rubles ($62) per month for double occupancy.

The room usually has all the necessary furniture (bed, wardrobe, table, chair, bedside table, etc.). Students are also provided with a mattress, blanket, pillow and bed linen. Some dormitories also purchase hangers, curtains, bedspreads and household appliances for students. For example, in dormitories South Ural State University(SUSU) there are irons, ironing boards, clothes dryers and vacuum cleaners on the floor - you can use them for free.

In some hostels you can choose the ascetic option and pay only for accommodation in the hostel. And somewhere you can rent additional household appliances (they will be located directly in the room). Thus, in TPU the cost of living is 800 rubles (about 13 dollars) per month, and taking into account the use of electrical appliances (refrigerator, microwave oven, kettle, TV) - 1040 rubles (17-18 dollars) per month.

Each student dormitory has laundry rooms. In some universities, washing machines are located in the kitchens, and you can use them at any time and for free. Other universities have special laundry rooms. Thus, the cost of one washing and drying cycle is ITMO University 150 rubles (2.5 dollars), washing clothes at TSU costs 50 rubles (about a dollar).

The Internet is available in all Russian universities. Some universities, for example, IKBFU. I. Kant or MISiS provide a completely free package, but more often Wi-Fi is available only in classrooms, libraries and dormitory halls; you will have to pay extra for using the network in the room, or you can connect high-speed Internet via a dedicated line.

In the halls of the TSU dormitory you can connect to Wi-Fi for free. And for using the Internet in your room you will have to pay from 150 rubles (2.5 dollars) per month. At NSU, the cost of connecting to the worldwide network is 400 rubles (about 7 dollars) per month. SibFU dormitories have several tariffs - from 250 rubles (from 4 dollars) per month and higher, depending on the speed.

Generally cost of internet in Russia, both landline and mobile, is one of the lowest in the world. For example, the price of a standard package of mobile services, which includes Internet traffic, is 200-300 rubles (3-5 dollars).

Close to the hostel

Student campuses of Russian universities are often a “city within a city” - all the necessary infrastructure is adjacent to the dormitories: shops, cafes and canteens, pharmacies, bank branches, and so on.

SUSU operates a budget hairdressing salon on campus. Numerous national cafes and restaurants are open on the territory of RUDN University, where students can eat tasty and inexpensive food.

The FEFU campus has a swimming pool, gyms, and health and fitness centers. NSU also has a swimming pool, tennis courts and halls for outdoor games. It is noteworthy that there are sports complexes in almost all Russian hostels. You can study for free or for a small fee. At ITMO University, for example, one visit to the gym costs 100 rubles (1.5-2 dollars).

Also, numerous sections are open in all universities - both sports and creative. At KFU, students can diversify their leisure time and enroll, for example, in an art studio or in a dormitory St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University "LETI" there is a film club, and students who live in HSE dormitories have the opportunity to practice dancing, yoga or boxing.
