Basic rules in Bolyai Student Hostels

The hostel has a multicultural community with diverse habits and lifestyles. Tolerance is essential for the residents. While we encourage socialising and making new friends, there is one universal rule in the hostel that every student must follow: after 10 PM in the study period and throughout the exam period, students must maintain a quite environment, without any disturbances.

Safety

Student hostels offer safe accommodation with 24/7 security and caretaker service including face control at the entrance. If you arrive late at night or early in the morning, you can still occupy your room immediately. 

Fire safety

In Hungary, smoking is prohibited by law in public buildings and in their surroundings. 
Smoking and using hookah/narghile are strictly forbidden inside the building and carries serious legal and administrative consequences. There are designated areas for smoking next to the entrances. 
Do not place any hot objects on the floor, table or on top of the fridge. 
Electric kitchenware such as rice cookers, kettles, microwave ovens must not be used in the bedroom. 

Checking the rooms

Periodically, the hostel management keeps a prescheduled room-check. Students are informed about these room-checks well in advance. 

Having a guest

You can invite guests to your room provided that they are registered by the doorman beforehand and that you have the permission of the deputy director. Please note that an extra fee must be paid for your guest. The Guest Registration Form is available at the Student Hostel. If there is a vacant bed in the room and your roommates agree in advance, you will receive permission. Without a permission, every guest, whether they live in another hostel or off campus, must leave the building by 11:00 PM) 

Washing

There is a laundry room on each floor, you can use the washing machines free of charge, but you have to buy your own washing powder and washing liquid. 

Cleanliness

We kindly ask you to keep a healthy standard of cleanliness in your block.
Please, pay extra attention to the following: 

  • Take out the trash daily 
  • Keep the sink clean. It can easily get clogged if you flush food down it. Its sole purpose is to wash your dishes. 
  • Keep the kitchen and the toilet clean. 
  • Use the shower curtain. If too much water gets out, it can drip down to the floor below. Also, excess water on the floor causes limescale. 
Damage report

Each student is responsible for the condition of their room and its furniture and must pay for any necessary repairs. If damage occurs, report it immediately at the reception. 
Small accidents happen from time to time. It is important to report damage immediately so the maintenance unit can fix the problem as quickly as possible. The most frequent problems include clogged shower drains, kitchen sinks, burntout light bulbs and broken furniture. 

Renting a flat

To search for an apartment, you may need the help of your mentor student. The monthly rental price of a two-room apartment typically ranges from 80 000 to 120 000 HUF (220-320 EUR). The price can vary based on the surroundings, distance from the university or proximity to the city centre. It is important to note that utility bills and the property management fee are not included in the rental fee.
