Students with disabilities

Dear students,

In our wish to help you choose a student dormitory, we have briefly described the advantages of individual student dormitories. Each dormitory has its own advantages and disadvantages, and every pavilion and every room in a student dormitory is different.

We hope that in this way we can provide you with some basic guidelines in choosing accommodation and thus make it easier to embark on this new adventure called university life! We have focused on the three student dormitories most frequently chosen by students with disabilities.
