Guide to the hostels of the leading Moscow universities. A look outside and inside.

RIA Novosti correspondent Indira Valeeva decided to find out how the situation with existing hostels in Moscow is.

There are 315 dormitories in Moscow that belong to state universities. 470 thousand students live in them, who came to Moscow from all over Russia and from foreign countries. Despite such large numbers, more than 65,000 non-resident students cannot get a place in a hostel - there are simply not enough of them. Students complained to President Medvedev about this situation last fall during a meeting in Skolkovo. After that, the president held a meeting on the social status of students, at which he promised that new dormitories of various types would be built, all illegal residents who were not related to students would be evicted, and that the Internet in all dormitories would be free.

In the meantime, almost all out-of-town students are forced to pay quite a lot of money (500-700 rubles) for slow Internet, since many hostels have a monopoly on Internet access. As for illegal immigrants, the Moscow State Pedagogical University (Pedagogical University) is most famous for them.

“Students rarely get rooms in a hostel and only if you pay the commandant for them. In the hostel at VDNKh, the first three floors are rented out to migrant families. Anyone from the street can spend the night there for 300 rubles,” says Maria, a graduate of the Moscow State Pedagogical University.

In most universities, the problem with illegal immigrants was solved a few years ago. In 2007-2008, when the Unified State Examination was introduced throughout the country, the flow of visiting applicants increased significantly. Many were denied dormitories, but after complaints from their parents, it turned out that there were places in the dormitories, only they were not given to students at all. Now it is more difficult to find illegal immigrants in Moscow dorms, but there are still sorely lacking places for first-year students.

"In my first year, I wrote an application for a hostel, they told me that as soon as a place appeared, they would call me. They called in my fifth year, very timely!" - says a graduate of MSLU (Linguistic University) Marina.

On March 1 this year, the president was presented with a program "On filling the shortage of places in dormitories for students from other cities," according to which the cost of building all the necessary dormitories will cost the state 21.1 billion rubles. Given that the project is still under consideration, a solution to the problem of housing for non-resident students is not expected in the near future.

MIPT (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology)
MIPT is a Western-style campus. This campus in Dolgoprudny is similar to the campus not only in structure, but also in spirit - you can feel the atmosphere of a scientific university there. In the "nerds" (special rooms for preparing homework), someone is always rustling through the pages of textbooks and notes.

The main contingent of residents - guys, it seems that they know all the few girls of the university by name. Young scientists apply their talents and skills in practice, improving the hostel. In one of the buildings, there are magnetic locks on the doors of common rooms - a laundry room, a gym. The students made them themselves, so that anyone who wants to take advantage of the hostel can get a magnetic card with information programmed on it - which rooms he can enter and which ones he can't.

Hostel location- 5 minutes walk from the Novodachnaya railway station, the train goes to Savelovsky station in about 20 minutes.

Terms of Service- a hostel is provided to all non-resident students for the entire period of study and to most Muscovites in the first three years. First of all, the hostel is allocated to those whose journey from home to campus takes more than two hours.

Distance from the university

Conditions

Facilities- a toilet and a kitchen are located on the floor, and a shower room - one on five floors.

Entrance to the hostel- until midnight. But they are allowed later, you need to warn about this in advance.

Hostel advantages- Students live on campus, right on campus. Even Muscovites can live there, so as not to waste time on the road. There is an active local self-government at MIPT, students do a lot of things themselves - from repairing their own rooms to repairing public spaces. For example, in one dormitory, the guys themselves made a smoking room so that fellow faculty members would not smoke on the stairs. But no one uses the smoking room yet - it’s still more pleasant on the stairs.

Cons of a hostel- not very good living conditions, in such a large area students could be accommodated more comfortably. There are very old, unrepaired buildings. Students live far from the city. On the one hand, this gives a reason to be less distracted from difficult studies, on the other hand, it isolates children from society outside the university.

Egor, fourth-year student: "Have you heard such a phrase -" It seems like a decent person, but he drinks like a MIPT student!"? They really drink a lot here.

Alexey, fifth-year student: "In the summer, life in general is in full swing: a bunch of people who sing and play guitars, students launch radio-controlled planes, play frisbee, football."

NRNU MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute)
MEPhI dormitories, built about five years ago, are considered among the best in Moscow. Students actually live in their own apartments with a spacious kitchen, balcony, shower and toilet. The layout of the apartments is not bad - there is a spacious corridor in the dvushki and treshka apartments, and a bay window in the large room in the odnushka, which makes it very cozy.

The situation is much worse with the decoration of rooms and especially bathrooms, kitchens and baths - it is clear that the materials used were cheap, so they very quickly become damp and even moldy. This is partly the fault of the students themselves.

Most of the apartments and rooms that I happened to visit in the MEPhI dormitory are a deplorable sight - heaps of clothes, mountains of packages from chips, bottles, dirty kitchens, where, of course, cockroaches immediately start up. Apparently, housework is something too mundane for young physicists and programmers.

Hostel location- 20 minutes walk from Kashirskaya metro station.

Number of residents- 2500 people.

Terms of Service- the hostel is not given to all first-year students, but only to those who have scored a sufficient number of points, that is, more than the passing score for the budget department.

Distance from the university- 15 minutes walk from MEPhI.

Conditions- one-room apartments for three to four people, two-room apartments for five people (2 and 3 people in a room), three-room apartments for 6-7 people.

Facilities- the apartment has a toilet, bathroom, kitchen, corridor, balcony. The kitchen is equipped with the necessary appliances: refrigerator and electric stove.

Entrance to the hostel- according to the rules, the entrance to the hostel is until one in the morning, but many people violate this rule. If you wake up the guard, he will let you into the room, but you need to write in a special latecomer journal.

Hostel advantages- accommodation in apartments with all amenities, free internet with good speed, close to the university.

Cons of a hostel Not all students have enough space. Nevertheless, every year the enrollment of first-year students at MEPhI increases, and the administration is forced to compact the residents - if earlier there were no more than three people living in the rooms, now they have begun to accommodate four students.

Sasha, sixth-year student at MEPhI: "The hostel is a bunch of people. Left, right - my best friends are everywhere. I always associate the hostel with fun. Outside the hostel it's commonplace, but here the atmosphere is completely different. Although I liked it better in the old hostel. Yes, the conditions there were worse, the toilet, shower and kitchen are only on the floors, but this brought us closer. And now we are moving away from each other."

Lyosha, fifth-year student at MEPhI: “Sometimes we have a tense relationship with the security. Our entrance is only until one in the morning, and even if you come from the neighboring building of the hostel a little later, they are already running into. They also check the packages so that there is no alcohol. The guys somehow dragged a huge bag of beer onto rope on the thirteenth floor. And on the eleventh she caught on something, and everything collapsed down. What a sight!"

RGGU (Russian State University for the Humanities)
The dormitory of the Russian State Humanitarian University at the address "Kirovogradskaya street, house number 25" glorified in the song Noize MC. The musician himself lived there until he finally got tired of the life of the hostel. The song, in fact, describes the horrors of everyday life, and not the hostel conditions themselves. For example, by the line "And next to the bathroom there is a toilet" one can generally judge the "luxury" that you will not find in every hostel - in many of them the toilets are shared and located at the end of the corridor, and there may be only one room with showers. building.

At the RSUH, things are much better with this, although there are also enough problems - mold grows on the walls in the bathrooms, which cannot be washed off with anything, as well as yellow stains from water. Students demanded to change the bathrooms, but the university has not yet allocated money for this. Many students redecorate their own rooms because some of them are a deplorable sight - pieces of wallpaper hanging from the wall, leaking ceilings and windows that won't close.

Hostel location- 5 minutes from the metro station st. Academician Yangel.

Dormitory type- block type.

Number of residents- 860 people.

Terms of Service- First-year students are not provided with a hostel. You can queue up for a place in the hostel. If every day you come to the resettlement department and remind about yourself, then in six months you can move in. True, this does not apply to residents of the Moscow region, even distant ones. They are given a hostel last. Someone is settled only in the third, fourth year, and until that time must rent a room or apartment.

Distance from the university- about an hour from the educational building on Novoslobodskaya.

Conditions- blocks of two rooms, three people live in one, two - in the other.

Amenities a - a toilet and a bathroom are located in the block.

Entrance to the hostel- at any time for those living in the hostel.

Hostel advantages- conveniences in the block, no more than three people live in the rooms, next to the metro.

Cons of a hostel- they do not accommodate freshmen, poor repair in the rooms, very old plumbing, far from the center and the university.

Yulia, a master's student at the Russian State University for the Humanities: "Someone is very unlucky with neighbors. My friend lived with a girl who always went to bed at 10 pm. And my friend from the philological faculty, she came home from school late, and then she had to read a lot at home. And her neighbor She claimed that she could not sleep not only by the light of a night lamp, but even when the pages were rustling.

We also have problems with neighbors on the block. It seems that they save up dirty clothes for a month, and then wash everything in one day. They dry everything in the bathroom, there is nowhere else. So our whole bath is hung with jeans, dresses, T-shirts - and they think that with such humidity it will all dry out normally. And we can’t even wash ourselves normally - things are everywhere, and it’s dripping from them. ”

MGIMO (Moscow State Institute of International Relations)
MGIMO has four dormitory buildings, all of them are located in different places: on Profsoyuznaya, in Teply Stan, in Tsaritsyno and on Vernadsky Avenue, near the university itself. In Teply Stan and Tsaritsyno - apartment type. I decided to visit the hostel for foreign citizens on Vernadsky Avenue and the hostel on Profsoyuznaya.

Both dormitories are more like economy-class hotels - not an impudent security guard or a grumpy janitor is sitting at the entrance, but an intelligent-looking concierge in a suit. Smartly dressed students come out of the rooms, obviously not dressed for a scholarship. Students of the hostel for foreigners on Vernadsky Avenue do not receive a scholarship - almost all foreigners study at MGIMO on a contract basis and pay 4,500 rubles a month for a hostel.

Mostly foreign youth from China, Korea, Central Asia, and the CIS countries study at MGIMO. Citizens of Central and Western Europe also live in the MGIMO hostel, but mostly they are exchange students who came to Russia for one or two semesters.

Usually residents of different countries are accommodated in one room. So, the Azerbaijani Aziza, who gave me a tour of the hostel, used to live with an Albanian, then with a French woman, and now her neighbor is an Italian. From Aziza's window you can see a rather large parking lot, where I could not see a single domestic car. Studying at MGIMO is not a cheap pleasure, and mostly well-to-do boys and girls live in the hostel at the university.

The hostel on Novocheremushkinskaya Street (Profsoyuznaya metro station) is a bit simpler, although it also leaves a good impression. Most of the residents in it are students of the budget department.

Hostel location- right at the tram stop, 10-15 minutes walk from Profsoyuznaya metro station.

Terms of Service- The hostel is available to everyone. Someone manages to immediately get into a block room, someone has to live in a room without a shower and a toilet in junior courses, but then there is an opportunity to move.

Distance from the university- 40-60 minutes with two transfers.

Conditions- in the corridor rooms: two or three places, at the beginning of the year it happens that a fourth is added. In block rooms there are two or three rooms for two or three people and a spacious corridor where you can equip something like a kitchen, although students are not allowed to keep electric stoves. All household appliances - refrigerator, microwave - students buy themselves.

Facilities- those who live in corridor rooms are forced to go to the toilet on the floor and to the shower on the first floor. The block has a toilet and a bathroom. Boys are less likely to be moved to blocks because they tend to be less clean and don't clean up after themselves. The common showers and toilets are regularly cleaned by a technician. Kitchens for all residents are located on the floor, two on each.

Entrance to the hostel- Previously, it was up to two, then they made it to one, after the riots on Manezhnaya Square they reduced it to 00.30. The official reason is "the aggravation of the crime situation in Moscow." Security lets students in after half past one, but in this case the student must write an explanatory note.

Hostel advantages- comfortable block rooms, more or less clean corridors and kitchens, a brick rather than a block building in a good area.

Cons of a hostel- unequal conditions, someone lives practically in apartment conditions, and someone is forced to use a shared shower and toilet.

Artem, fourth-year student at MGIMO: "Unfortunately, in recent years, the university has begun to increase enrollment for faculties, while not providing the proper number of places in dormitories. Therefore, in our dormitory, three people live in almost all rooms that are designed for two. This is terribly inconvenient and, in fact, contradicts the housing code (the minimum number of square meters per person does not meet the requirements of the law).When I was in my first year, under the old director, many for a bottle of cognac knocked out a place for themselves together, while the third was given a "dead soul" to them. I had to live as many as four in double rooms! There is another point here: at the beginning of each academic year, we close the dining room, and settle there 14 people! Then, within 2 months, they are settled in places expelled. "

RUDN University (Peoples' Friendship University of Russia)
Perhaps everyone should visit the RUDN University campus. This is a whole town in the south-west of Moscow, where you can see people of any skin color, speaking completely different languages ​​and coming from all over the world - Asia, Africa, Latin America. Most of them study and live at RUDN for free - either the countries of these regions send them to Moscow at public expense, or their education is paid from the Russian budget.

Most come from not very rich and, one might even say, insufficiently civilized countries. Probably, frequent fires can be associated with this fact, which most often occur in RUDN dormitories precisely through the fault of the residents themselves - many make a mess that does not contribute to the creation of safe conditions. Every few hours, the commandant or attendant passes through all the floors with a plunger - many students throw food directly into the sink, which constantly clogs it.

Hostel location- 10-15 minutes by bus from Yugo-Zapadnaya or Belyaevo metro stations.

Number of residents- more than 8 thousand people.

Terms of Service- the hostel is provided to almost all foreign students. It is much more difficult for students from Russian regions to get a hostel, only a few places are allocated for each faculty, first of all they go to beneficiaries and olympiads.

Distance from the university- educational buildings are located across the road from residential buildings.

Conditions- in most buildings, students live in small corridor-type rooms.

Facilities- in most buildings, the toilet and kitchen are located on the floor, and the shower room is in the basement.

Hostel advantages- an amazing variety of cultures, cheap and delicious food. RUDN University is a real campus, reminiscent of Western ones in shape, although, alas, according to the conditions, no.

Cons of a hostel- dirt, smells unusual for Europeans, conflicts between students from different countries who do not always get along with each other. It is also hard for those who study at complex faculties - physical, mathematical, medical. Humanities students have much easier studies, so they interfere with their hectic lifestyle for those who really need to study.

For many foreigners, admission to RUDN University is a ticket to life. And no matter how they scold the conditions of the hostel, Russians and life in Moscow, most dream of staying here, and not returning to their country. Almost all cafes, shops, beauty salons and other commercial establishments on campus are open and run by former students.

Here, at very low prices, you can taste dishes of Caucasian, Central Asian, Chinese, African cuisine, smoke a real oriental hookah, buy Indian spices, sew an individual pair of shoes to order from an Uzbek. Previously, people also came to RUDN University for a special product - drugs, which, they say, were found in abundance in the hostel in the nineties and early 2000s.

“Time has changed, now there is no such thing here,” says Aleksey, a RUDN graduate. “Maybe someone brings a little something from Africa and Latin America, but not on an industrial scale. I can’t say that they began to follow more "It's okay, it's just that the country has changed. Before, I heard, they traded with might and main here, and the local police were directly involved in this. But now no, I have never seen anything like this in all the time of my studies."

NRU HSE (Higher School of Economics)
The new dormitories of the Higher School of Economics provoke a twofold reaction. On the one hand, these are real apartments with all amenities, household appliances and a spacious hall. On the other hand, students have to pay for this with a "link" in the Moscow region. Although, in a good scenario, they can get to the university in a little over an hour, but few people want to make an extra transfer, depend on the schedule, and even spend extra money on a travel card.

Nevertheless, now all those who enter the HSE are accommodated either in one of the two buildings in Odintsovo, or even further away - in Dubki. The hostel on Pokrovka is closed, the rest of the Moscow buildings do not accept first-year students.

In Moscow, students live in three buildings - on Aviamotornaya, Shosse Entuziastov and Studencheskaya. I visited a dormitory that used to belong to MPEI (Energy Institute), which HSE recently acquired into ownership. Conditions in the hostel on Aviamotornaya are many times worse than in distant Odintsovo. Instead of full-fledged apartments, there are cramped rooms with a toilet and a kitchen on the floor and one shower room for the entire six-story building.

Number of residents- about five and a half thousand people. Most of them live in the Moscow region.

Terms of Service- hostel is provided to all non-resident students.

Distance from the university- from half an hour for those who live in a hostel in Moscow, up to an hour and a half for those who live in Odintsovo or Dubki.

Conditions- apartment type in the Moscow region and corridor type - in Moscow buildings.

Hostel advantages- comfortable hostels in Odintsovo and Dubki.

Cons of a hostel- the remoteness of the new hostels, not very good conditions in the old ones.

Olya, HSE master's student: “When we entered the first year, the dormitories in Odintsovo were just about to open. But it all dragged on for a long time, because they weren’t accepted for a long time due to some kind of safety standards. Accordingly, we couldn’t accommodate anyone there. And we already We got accepted, came to Moscow, and we had to live somewhere. Someone was put a cot in an already full room, and I and a fairly large number of other first-year students were placed in study rooms. There are rooms on each floor where students can study. From there they pulled out tables, put up folding beds, and there we lived in the first year. But then they left me in the same hostel on Avtozavodskaya. I didn’t want to move to Odintsovo. Yes, there are good conditions, but it’s more convenient for me to live in the city, albeit with a common toilet and shower."

Katya, fourth-year HSE student: “I study at the contract department and have to pay for a hostel. In the third year, the cost was raised to four thousand. And the train ticket went up, it costs a thousand. That is, I had to pay five thousand a month to live in an apartment in the Moscow with a bunch of other students and with the constant supervision of guards and commandants. I could not stand the constant trips on the trains and began to rent a room in Moscow. "

MSTU named after Bauman
Most Bauman dormitories are located in Izmailovo and offer not the best conditions - they are mostly corridor-type dormitories with one shower room on eight floors, dirty toilets at the end of the corridor and rather cramped rooms where three or four students can live. Moreover, freshmen still have to fight for this - there are not enough places in the hostel for everyone.

Recently, a large new dormitory has opened near the university on Baumanskaya, but students have already complained that it does not even have kitchens. Their absence, the administration compensates for the microwave ovens installed in the rooms.

Hostel location- five buildings within a five-minute walk from the Izmailovo metro station; four buildings at the Baumanskaya metro station.

Terms of Service- the hostel is provided to beneficiaries, olympiads and those who scored a high score upon admission. The rest have to either somehow not quite legally negotiate with the commandant, or rent an apartment. If a student is a good student, he can write an application for a hostel. He can be placed fourth in a room, but the status of a "good student" must be confirmed every year with positive grades and active community work, otherwise they can be evicted.

Distance from the university- 40-45 minutes from the educational building on Baumanskaya.

Conditions- in a small room there are two beds, they can be bunk beds, then four people live there. By senior years, it becomes possible to stay in a room with three or even two, if you're lucky.

Facilities- in corridor-type dormitories, there is a shower room only on the first floor; toilet, wash basins and kitchen - on each floor.

Entrance to the hostel- until one in the morning free, after - by call, you also need to sign up in a special journal of latecomers.

Hostel advantages- not very far from the university, next to the dormitories is the Izmailovsky forest park and a large market. There is a famous tradition in MSTU - "basins". All students, especially those living in a hostel, are waiting for the day of skating on the basins for the entire six years of study. After passing the diploma, graduates bathe in the fountain in front of the university, and then ride on basins - first along the common stairs, then in the dormitory courtyard, tied to a car with a rope.

Cons of a hostel- facilities on the floor, the toilets are very dirty, there are not even full-fledged cabins in the showers. Not every hostel building has a canteen and a shop. However, many are waiting in line at the hostel, which is running out of places due to ever-increasing enrollment.

Kostya, sixth-year student of Moscow State Technical University: “A few years ago, our university became generous and installed plastic windows throughout the dormitory. But the workers did their job so poorly that the meaning of all these costs was lost. For example, they did not even remove the old window sills, but installed new ones on top of them. Because of this, everything the window sills are tilted now. We asked them to cut a piece of the old window sill for a bottle of beer, and they set the window sill straight. But the gaps between the window and the wall remained, they were simply filled with liquid foam.

We also have a "wonderful" shower. It works according to the schedule - from six in the morning until one in the morning. And on Thursdays it is completely closed - this is called "sanitary day". To wash, you have to go to the next building through the fire crossing.

Lomonosov Moscow State University
Moscow State University is still the most reliable university in terms of providing dormitories. The university is obliged to provide a place to absolutely all nonresident students. In this regard, now in the DAS hostel, a fifth person is being accommodated in rooms for four, since due to the Unified State Examination, enrollment increases every year. The fifth bed has to be placed in the middle of the room or in a nook, where, according to the plan of the rooms, there should be something like a kitchen-living room.

Of course, none of the four inhabitants of the room can be happy with the fifth neighbor, even if he is ideal - the space in small rooms becomes catastrophically small, and the queues for the toilet and bathroom in predominantly female hostels lead to real conflicts. Especially goes to first-year students who are hooked up with older students.

Nevertheless, the Moscow State University dormitories are a kind of legend, and not only nonresident applicants dream of getting into them, but also Muscovite students, for whom the dormitories where their classmates live are associated with freedom and something forbidden.

Perhaps, many people romanticize the spirit of the hostel too much, especially looking at two powerful "ships" - the House of Postgraduate Student and Intern (neither postgraduate students nor interns live there, but the name of one of the largest MSU dormitories is exactly that) and the Hogwarts towers of the main building of MSU, where accommodate undergraduates and graduate students.

Number of residents- 17 thousand people.

Distance from the university- depends on the dormitory building and faculty. Someone lives in the same building as they study - senior courses of the Mekhmat, Geological Faculty - and someone has to travel from Shvernik Street (15 minutes walk from the Akademicheskaya metro station) to Mokhovaya to the Faculty of Journalism or Psychology. In any case, students usually spend no more than an hour on the road from the hostel to the faculty.

Conditions- completely different, from single rooms in the main building of Moscow State University to four-bed rooms in the FDS (Student House Branch), where each student has about four square meters. This violates the law, since the area of ​​​​the room must be at least six square meters per person. Moreover, if in most Moscow State University dormitories there is a shower and toilet in every room, then in the FDS the toilet is located at the end of the corridor, and the shower room is on the first floor, and it works according to the schedule, closing once a week for a "sanitary day".

Additional services in the building- the largest dormitories of Moscow State University are something like a town with extensive infrastructure. There are legends about students who lived and studied in the Main Building, and did not go out for years, but came to lectures in slippers. GZ really has everything, from a good dining room in terms of price and quality to a swimming pool. And even if slippers for attending lectures break, you can buy new ones without leaving the hostel.

Approximately the same was once in DAS. In the passage between the two buildings there was a cinema hall, a swimming pool, a sauna, and a massage room. The cinema hall and the pool were closed due to an emergency condition and have not been able to be repaired for several years, the sauna was closed for safety reasons, and the masseur was expelled, as he was engaged in commercial activities on the territory of the hostel.

For the same reason, the laundry and hardware store are periodically closed - commercial activities on the territory of Moscow State University are prohibited. Therefore, it is necessary to hold tenders for servicing the needs of those living in the hostel. But usually this process drags on for a long time, and the administration lets private traders back into the DAS. So far, only the dining room has been modernized. Moscow State University opened its own instead of a commercial one, prices immediately dropped, and the quality of food improved slightly.

By the way, the dining room of DAS is located in a monumental room with a huge wall-to-wall mosaic, where, if you try, you can see a round dance of women personifying the Soviet republics. In general, the former power of the Soviet past, covered with numerous layers of dust, is felt throughout the DAS.

Sasha, fourth-year student at Moscow State University: “I lived at DAS for three years, I liked it, but then I had to move to the Main Building. Because of this, the Unified State Examination at DAS began to accommodate us five in a four, and it’s completely impossible to live like that. Especially when you are already in your fourth year. I live alone, although I can’t say that I really like it there - the building is terribly old, dusty, the plumbing is terrible. Although I have an individual shower, I still go there in slippers - the dirt is already so ingrained that it cannot be washed off. "

About half a million young residents of Moscow are students from other cities. Someone comes from the far suburbs, someone - from the Far East. Most of them plan to settle down in Moscow for the rest of their lives, and some come for knowledge that will be useful to them in their native regions. These guys, on the one hand, are already adults, and on the other hand, only yesterday they lived with their parents and it was in Moscow that they first encountered many everyday problems. Moscow hostels are becoming a school of life for students, where they have to fight for a normal existence.

In modern Russia, there are both comfortable student campuses and old apartment buildings equipped as dormitories. The conditions for admission to the "hostel" and the priorities of the capital's universities differ, in each case there are pluses and minuses, depending on who you are and where you are from. For example, RUDN University is more willing to provide a hostel for contract employees, because it is very difficult for students to pay for tuition and rent at the same time, while Moscow State University puts only state employees in the first place. Uchecha.RU tried to find out what amenities are provided to students, as well as where in the top Moscow universities it would be easier to get a place in a hostel.

Moscow State University M.V. Lomonosov

The country's leading university strives to make its students, graduate students, applicants and even students of advanced training courses think more about studying, and not about where to find temporary housing in a large and by no means cheap capital. If you enter the budget (full-time department) and apply that you need a hostel, you can be sure that the university will provide it to you with a 100% probability. Full-time students studying on a contract basis, applicants, as well as evening students and part-time students, regardless of whether they pay tuition or not, receive places in the hostel only if there are free places. Most often, those are found in almost everyone. The hostel of Moscow State University is designed for 15,000 people. Rooms are on average designed for 2-4 residents. The complex of buildings has reading rooms, leisure and recreation rooms, gyms and a swimming pool, canteens (one of which is on duty and is open seven days a week from morning until late at night), shops, laundries, dry cleaners, clothing and shoe repair shops. Because University dormitory buildings are scattered throughout the Southwestern District of Moscow; for the convenience of students, a special express bus route has been introduced since 2003, running between the DAS dormitory and the main university building. This makes life easier for students studying at faculties located on the Lenin Hills, but those who study in other areas (for example, on Mokhovaya Street) need to get there by regular public transport.

MGIMO

MGIMO (U) The Russian Foreign Ministry has four dormitories located near the building of the university itself, in the areas of the Universitet, Prospekt Vernadskogo, Yugo-Zapadnaya and Tsaritsyno metro stations. The rooms are designed for 2-3 people (in some cases these are two or three-room apartments), on each floor there are separate kitchens and showers. On campus there is a cultural center, a free student clinic, shops, Internet cafes, health clubs, and even driving courses. Places in the dormitory are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and, unfortunately, not for everyone - even if you entered the budgetary day department. This is especially true for non-resident students, who, by the way, can only settle for the period of entrance exams, and upon entering a university, they will need to look for alternative housing. When selecting candidates from diaries, benefits are available not only for those with many children or those with low incomes, but also for the winners of all-Russian competitions, olympiads, etc. It goes without saying that it is almost impossible to settle with any of the parents or other family members in the MGIMO dormitory, therefore, when planning to conquer the university with a support group in the person of mom, dad, husband or wife, it would be more expedient not to count on places, albeit temporary ones, in dorm. Now about the prices: if you are a student on a budget, the hostel will cost you about 3% of the basic scholarship, if you are a contract worker or are a participant in the presidential recruitment program, you will have to pay according to the price list established at that time.

RUDN University

The student campus of RUDN University consists of eleven dormitories: these are eight five-story and five high-rise buildings on the street. Miklukho-Maklay, each room in which is furnished and designed for 2-3 people. In five-story buildings on each floor there are toilet rooms and kitchens, and a shower room, laundry room and storage room are located in the basement of the buildings. The skyscrapers are equipped with elevators, the apartments have toilets and bathrooms, kitchens, you can also use the shared kitchens located on each floor. There is also something like a luxury zone - in such rooms there are refrigerators and TVs, security is constantly on duty on the floor. Very strict with bedding - the hostel management warns: if a student loses something, it can even lead to his expulsion from the university. But the entrance to the territory of the hostel for all residents is open around the clock (for guests - until 23:00, during the sessions, guests are not allowed). It is difficult to get a place, RUDN University guarantees the provision of a hostel to beneficiaries and foreigners, of whom, as you know, there are a lot of students at this university and those who study on a contract basis. State employees here are by no means in the forefront of candidates for a hostel.

RSUH

Students joke that the main thing is not to enter, but to hold out until the fifth year. It is for this reason that the leadership of the Russian State University for the Humanities often gives hope to students who did not get a place in the hostel. The fact is that in the year of admission in the dormitories, of course, there is a stir, but after a year or two there are empty places and the waiting list has a chance to take them. In addition, the administration strictly monitors the attendance of the hostel - if you visit the room attached to you only once a week, it will be taken away from you in favor of a student who really needs inexpensive housing. When distributing places, preference is given first of all to beneficiaries and non-residents, in the last place - contract workers. It is worth noting that the RSUH dormitory is very well guarded and discipline here is not an empty phrase: after three warnings for violating it, you can lose your student place not only in the dormitory, but also at the university. Of the amenities here are shops, laundries, gyms.

MSTU im. Bauman

Places in the hostel "Baumanki" are intended primarily for Muscovites, but students from other cities can also count on them. Each building is attached to certain faculties. In order to settle in a hostel after admission, it is necessary, when submitting documents, to indicate that you need it. There is a separate competition for such places at the university - the passing score for such applicants will be one more. There is one tricky moment in all this: if you applied on time and scored the required number of points, you can easily be deprived of the right to a place in a hostel in favor of a beneficiary, medalist or winner of some educational competition. But at the same time, you can stand in line and, with excellent studies, in two years still earn yourself a coveted bed when one of the losers is expelled. Applicants are also provided with places at the time of passing the entrance exams, but they are more expensive and payment for them is made by the day. As for amenities, rooms are occupied by 2-4 people, showers - either one for the entire hostel, or one for an apartment block. The main buildings are located on Baumanskaya, where there is a student market, convenience stores and a sports complex. The buildings on Izmailovskaya are more modest.

MGUPI

If you are going to enter MGUPI and get a place in a dormitory, keep in mind that the number of places in a university dormitory is limited, and these places are primarily designed for Muscovite students. This does not mean that non-resident students have no chance at all - with a preferential category and on a competitive basis, you can “register” in a hostel for a while. Applicants are not provided with a hostel at the time of passing the entrance exams.

MSGU

MSHU provides a hostel for applicants for the period of entrance examinations, but only on the condition that they submitted to the selection committee only the originals of the previously received documents on education. And, of course, subject to availability. Pricing policy is a separate topic for discussion. The cost of living for applicants is low - from 10 rubles per day, but for the parents accompanying them - 100 rubles. for the same period of time. Contract students have to pay almost the same amount for a hostel - about 3,000 rubles. per month (i.e. about 100 rubles per day). The hostel itself is located not far from Oktyabrskaya metro station.

MGSU

The MGSU hostel buildings are quite comfortable and are located both within the capital and beyond, in Mytishchi. Moreover, Muscovites are usually settled in the region, and non-residents, on the contrary, in Moscow. For out-of-town students, the competition is separate and tough. But for nonresident applicants at the time of passing the entrance exams, as well as their parents, the university provides places to stay. The cost of living depends on the specific building and ranges from 150-250 rubles. per applicant per day, for parents - 250-350 rubles. The referral can be obtained from the Dormitory Administration, after submitting the documents to the selection committee and receiving a receipt for their admission. For students living in a hostel, the monthly fee is 5% of the amount of the scholarship (for those who are in the budget department) and 1800-2750 rubles (for contractors).

NRNUMEPhI

The university has a campus (campus), which includes residential buildings, libraries, canteens, shops, household services, etc. Places are provided to full-time students, while the form of education (contract or budget) does not play a special role. But they look at the place of registration - a Muscovite or a resident of the Moscow suburbs is unlikely to be able to settle in a hostel.

MARCHI

MARCHI students living in the dormitory agree that the saying “cramped, but not offended” ideally describes the conditions of common living. The university provides a hostel for almost everyone - students, graduate students, interns and course participants, applicants and their parents ... Both jointly and separately. They do not give a hostel only to students in the evening department. As for prices, the “dormitory” is the cheapest, as it should be, for diary students studying on a budgetary basis - 5% of the scholarship. In other cases, daily accommodation will cost from 140 to 500 rubles. depending on the place and time of residence - for example, they take a lot from applicants during the entrance exams - 400-500 rubles. per day.
