Leányka Dormitory

Living in Leányka Dormitory provides a unique and enriching experience, offering convenience, comfort, and a vibrant community atmosphere for all students.

Named after its location on Leányka Street, this is the largest dormitory on the Eger campus, accommodating over 399 students. While the dormitory community is known for its diversity rather than its size, it is a hub for forming meaningful friendships and connections. However, only 60 spots are reserved for international students, making early application essential.

Practical Dormitory Information:

  • Fees: The monthly dormitory fee is 29,000 HUF, regardless of the number of days spent in the dormitory. A one-time registration fee of 5,000 HUFis also required.
  • Deadlines: All fees must be paid on or before the respective deadlines. Failure to do so may result in restrictions, including the inability to register for subjects or exams in the Neptun system and withholding of official documents upon graduation.

Please note that students cannot rent a room individually; all dormitory residents will either be assigned a roommate randomly or upon request. While the university strives to provide housing options, it is not legally obligated to guarantee accommodation. Dormitory spots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
