STUDENT HOUSES NO. 9, 10, 11, and NO. 2
The Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń tries to provide accommodation for international students participating in the exchange programmes. Since the number of places is limited, Erasmus+ students who submit their application forms via IRK system to the Department of International Partnerships and Educational Mobility - DIPEM ("Erasmus Office") early (before the 1st of JUNE or the 1st of NOVEMBER respectively) are given priority. Erasmus+ students usually occupy rooms in the student house:
- no. 9 (DS. 9) on Bielany campus, ul. Gagarina 21, 87-100 Toruń, tel. +48 56 611 43 62,
- no. 10 (DS. 10) ul. Gagarina 27, 87-100 Toruń, tel. +48 56 611 45 78,
- no. 11 (DS. 11) ul. Gagarina 33, tel. +48 56 611 44 79.
There are studios consisting of 2 rooms (which could be single or double) with a shared toilet, a shower and a kitchenette. There are also rooms available at the Student's House no. 2 at the Center Campus (ul. Mickiewicza 6/8, tel. +48 56 612 11 80), which is very close to the Old Town.

PRICE
The cost of a single room is approximately 800 złoty per month (about 180 Euro) and that of a double room is about 600 złoty per month per person (about 135 Euro). However, the size of the room is the same both for one or two students (about 11 m2). The rent must be paid by the 15th of each month.
Within 7 days of the date of arrival Erasmus students are obligated to pay a deposit for their room which equals the amount of their monthly rent. It means that if you are to live in a single room, you will have to pay at the beginning of your stay 2 x 800 złoty; whereas if you are to live in a double room, you will be asked to pay 2 x 600 złoty. The deposit will be given to you back after your departure, provided your room will be in a very good condition.
If you plan to stay in the Student House during the summer holiday period, the fee for a place in a student house has to be paid at the time of moving in, and in the case of continuation of stay in the following month, by the 5th day of the ongoing month. Since you will no longer be considered an NCU student you can expect a higher fee for a place (VAT will be added).
The rules for the Erasmus+ trainees may slightly differ.
ARRIVAL
Erasmus+ students will be notified by the Erasmus+ Office of the number of the student house they have been granted a place in via email approximately 1-3 weeks before their arrival.
A person who has been granted a place in the student house by 30 September should move in by 7 October of that year, or notify the student house administration of a later date. Failure to do so shall be deemed to be a resignation from a place in the student house.
Student House is open for residents 24/7 – you can enter at the most convenient time for you.
EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES
Each room is equipped with a bed, desks, bookshelves, and chairs. It has a shower, a toilet, and a kitchenette fitted with some cupboards, a refrigerator, and an electric kettle shared by students. You will probably need your own cutlery, pots and pans.
There is also a shared kitchen on every floor equipped with a gas cooker and a sink (hot & cold water). Sheets and a pillowcase are provided every month. You will need your own towels.
Each dormitory provides self-service launderettes called PRALNIA (you can buy tokens for one wash at the reception desk). Students themselves are required to clean their rooms. Please leave your room nice and clean when moving out, the way you would like to find it yourself upon arrival! If you return your room untidy, the student house manager will calculatethe cleaning costs, which then you will be charged for.
Every room is equipped with a telephone. Connections within the Campus and other dormitories (you dial only the last 4-digit numbers) are free of charge. You can also receive calls from the outside (if you live in DS. 11, your number will be 611 and the last 4-digit numbers; if you live in DS. 10, your number will be 612 and the last 4-digit numbers ) and from abroad (in DS. 11 +48 56 611 and the last 4-digit numbers; in DS. 10 +48 56 612 and the last 4-digit numbers).
The Internet network is available in all student dormitories (every room is connected to it for free); however, you should have your own computer or notebook and open a university account to be able to access it. Additionally, you have to buy a special cable (around 15 zł in every computer shop in Toruń) to be able to plug in.
There is a Reception in each dormitory which is open 24 hours. It is a place from which you get keys to your room and where you leave them each time you go out of the building.
