The system of planning and accommodating students in the dormitories gives the opportunity to provide separate living space (within blocks, sections, and rooms) for students who study at the same faculty or in the same institute. In the dormitories there is an entrance check-in, supervised by the appropriate security service. In every dormitory there is a student self-government room, a preparation room and a recreation room.
