Living in dormitories has many advantages. Nevertheless, if you value comfort, peace and quiet you can look for a room or flat to rent. Remember: it is better to rent a flat together with couple of friends so that few people share the renting costs.
There are sources, where you can find information about lodgings for students. It is worth to read daily newspapers (like 'Gazeta Wyborcza') or try to find offers via Internet. Below there is a short list of Polish websites, where you can find some advertisements:
Feel free to visit the office of Students' Union of WUT that is placed in the room 165 in the Main Building. There is a special notebook, where people looking for roommates, flatmates, and students to rent their flat live their advertisements. When you get to the office, just ask about the notebook.
Price of a flat or a room depends on its size and location. The prices vary from 300 PLN per person in districts placed far from the city centre or on the right bank of Vistula (Tarchomin, Żoliborz, Ochota, Praga) to 500-700 PLN per person nearby the city centre. Remember: it is possible to negotiate with owner of the flat and pay less than it was given in advertisement.
