Dormitories and Housing

UPWr DORMITORIES

The Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences has over 1,800 places in 6 dormitories. Individual dormitories have different sizes of rooms - from triple, double and single rooms to modular rooms with their own bathroom and kitchen. Each of the rooms has access to the Internet and an intercom connecting to the 24-hour reception. All dormitories provide basic furniture, like beds (including bed linens, blankets, pillows), desks, chairs and wardrobes for all students, and often also some smaller pieces of furniture like a nightstand or a set of drawers. Kitchens are equipped with basic appliances, like stoves, ovens, and fridges, but you need to bring your own smaller items like pots, pans, plates, glasses etc. You can buy all household items you need easily after you arrive in Wrocław.  

Location of the dormitories of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences is their great advantage. Four of them: Centaur, Labirynt, Talizman, and Zodiak are in the city centre in the vicinity of Grunwaldzki Square. Arka and Raj are located in the green areas of Biskupin, Wrocław's most beautiful district. You can find more information as well as some photos of the dormitories on the main university website.

Individual accommodation:

If you wish, you can also look for individual accommodation and rent a room or apartment from a landlord. We can provide some general tips, but due to limited resources we cannot offer any substantial help with the process, students will need to find individual accommodation themselves. Thank you for your understanding!
