Dormitories
Why dormitories?
- Dormitories are places for lifelong friendships, socialising, partying until dawn and learning together.
- Dormitories are not only a cheaper way to live than renting, but they also help you with your studies and make you part of a community.
- Check out Corvinus' dormitories, where you can stay in the heart of the city centre, a few minutes' walk from the university, or in panoramic rooms on Gellért Hill.
If you're an international student starting in September 2025, you can apply for accommodation after registering in Neptun, the University’s online administration system, and paying your tuition fees for your first semester. If finding accommodation is urgent due to visa requirements, consider other options beyond the student dormitories.

The primary principle for sorting the submitted applications is the submission time (first-come, first-served basis). However, the number of available dormitory places (quotas) for each program are predefined, admission will be granted within the limits of these quotas and priority will be given to first-year students (bachelor then master, and thereafter PhD students) over senior students.
If you miss the main application period, you can still apply later, as long as vacancies are available. If all places are filled, the Neptun application will close and the platform will no longer be accessible.
You can cancel your application on Neptun, but once you cancel, you cannot submit a new application in the same cycle.
For the places allocated under this early admission procedure, no waitlist registration is available. Once the available places are filled, we recommend prioritizing alternative accommodation options over the dormitories to ensure a smooth visa administration process.
The application will be closed once all places have been allocated. Those who submitted their requests but were rejected due to a lack of available spots will be contacted again only if a cancellation occurs — however, please note that such opportunities are not guaranteed.
Rooms range from 2 to 5 beds, with some offering private or shared bathrooms. No single room option. Amenities include basic furniture, internet access, a fridge, and shared kitchens. Laundry facilities are available in all dorms. More details available on the dormitories page.
To obtain an accommodation certificate for a place in a dormitory, after a successful dormitory application students must submit the move-in application (via Neptun), thereby accepting the conditions outlined in the request.

Central Regulations for Dormitories
Other long-term accommodation
Our university assists students in finding accommodation beyond university-run dormitories. We recommend several private providers in Budapest, especially when dorms are full or don’t meet individual needs. These providers have been vetted by the university and have experience in the field. However, the university does not manage or guarantee availability, and students are responsible for handling contracts and reservations themselves.
The university is not liable for any financial or legal issues arising from the relationship between the student and service provider.
Please note that these providers are also popular with students from other universities, so competition may exist.
These accommodations are mostly run by private investors and can host larger groups in the same building, similar to dormitories. Rooms are usually en suite with basic facilities and offer private room options. They provide places to university students from various institutions and have common areas, kitchens, study rooms and laundry. Additional services include reception, maintenance, cleaning, and in general gym access. Monthly rates range from EUR 320 to 1000 per person, with mostly including utilities.
It is similar to standard rental properties but exclusively for students. The accommodation is fully equipped and tailored to student needs, they are offering shared studio or private apartments. Most are private rooms with shared communal spaces, except for independent rentals. Monthly rates start from EUR 300 per person, plus utilities, varying based on room size, services, and occupancy.
Short-term accommodation
This accommodation is ideal for short stays, whether for attending a conference, course, or temporarily while searching for longer-term options. Located in central Budapest, they are within walking distance of the University. Reservations must be made directly with the accommodation provider according to their specified conditions.
