Sharing accommodation

You can rent a flat or a room in a “student flat” (a flat rented by several students together) or a room in a house/flat occupied by its owners. We would advise you to choose the first option, as in the latter you must be ready to conform to the owners’ requirements. Before signing the contract you should always ask about the smallest details concerning your life in the house.

Living in a student flat is likely to be less complicated. Depending on the situation – there could be single, double or even multi-bed rooms. Before making the final decision, you should always see your future flat. Do not rent a flat without checking it first. The sooner you start looking for your accommodation the better. You can use the Internet, local papers, or consult the bulletin boards in the Collegium Civitas hall and in every Warsaw University building.

The cost of such accommodation in Warsaw depends on the area and standard, and ranges from 300 to 500 euros per month. Finding accommodation in Warsaw might take a while. Be prepared to stay overnight in a hotel or a cheaper place like a youth hostel.
