Check-in times will be provided to you after your online dormitory registration. Please, note: Each student have to fill and submit the online registration form prior to their departure to Hungary in order to receive a place in one of our dormitories from September. If you do not fill the registration form, we will not be able to provide you accommodation. After your arrival you will be required to pay a deposit of HUF 40.000 at the time of your check-in to the dormitory. If you make any damages in the equipment of the dormitory, it will be deducted from the deposit (if not, you will receive beck the whole amount after you properly leave the dormitory).

Sign the dormitory service contract and comply with all house rules. • As a freshman you will be placed in one of our dormitories as part of your Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship. During your first semester, while you live in the dormitory you are not entitled to the monthly accommodation fee, therefore if you decide to leave the dormitory, you will NOT receive any accommodation support until February, 2019. • For the second semester (Spring, 2019), you will not need to reapply for the dormitory, if you decide to leave the dormitory, you will receive the monthly accommodation support (HUF 40.000) to rent a private apartment (please, see the next slide). • If you decide to leave the dormitory you need to sign a check-out form in due time – as it is indicated in your dormitory contract.

RENTING A FLAT IN PÉCS For incoming students who require superior quality accommodation, rented flats are an alternative. Renting a flat can provide students with the peace, comfort and privacy they require. We encourage all students to choose this option for their accommodation. • Prices range between approximately HUF 80,000 - 150,000 (+ utilities) for a furnished flat with central heating for one or two persons that is fairly near to the city centre and/or faculties of the University. • There are numerous private companies in town, one of them is Student Housing which offers free apartment-finding service for students.
