1. Accommodation

The ELTE Dormitory Centre and the ELTE Housing Office announce their joint application to the accommodation services (dormitory and housing) of the 2023/2024 academic year’s spring semester for the new (freshman) international applicants and students of ELTE who will study in Budapest. We ask every international student of ELTE to apply even if they do not request any of these services, because their answers still help us determining the needs of the students and improve our offers and accommodation services.

Every dormitory application will have a result at the same time, expectedly on 15th of January 2024. The housing service is continuous, being independent and unaffected by the result of the dormitory application.

You can learn more about the accommodation services here (and its subpages). Please, read it before applying!

Every international ELTE applicant or student who is not yet enrolled at ELTE (does not have an active or passive student status) and who intends to study in Budapest is eligible to apply in this proceeding.

The application form is available here.

The dormitory and housing applications are in separate sections of the same form. The selected dormitories show only your preferences, but you can be accepted to any dormitory. You will be forwarded to a confirming page after you have clicked on the “Submit” button.

The application is active
from 15th of November 2023, 18:00 (CET)
until 11th of February 2024, 23:59 (CET).

Then the waiting list application will be available in the Neptun study system, for which incoming students need to register. To access Neptun, please ask the faculty administration.

Applying does not grant a place automatically.

The housing does not have a result, it is continuous, and requires the activeness of the applicant to book a place. We are going to contact you within a few days after receiving your application with the actual offers.

Every dormitory application will have a result at the same time, expectedly on 15th of January 2024. The Dormitory Centre will send the dormitory application’s result in e-mail with the subject “Letter of Acceptance to the ELTE … Dormitory” or “Letter of Rejection”. Make sure to check your spam folder as well!

If you have any questions, or you encounter any technical problem, contact our Dormitory Centre at info@dormitory.elte.hu or the Housing Office at housing@elte.hu.

Regarding your teaching/research activity, please contact the Network/Academic Coordinators (2023/24). You can also find the contacts for the networks here.

Upon your arrival to Budapest, we ask you to confirm your arrival as soon as possible.

Please visit your faculty administration, ask them to register you by sending a message to ceepus@elte.hu confirming that you have arrived on that day. 

As soon as we have the email confirming your arrival, we can start the payment procedure (see III.).

Students are eligible for the full physical grant in case of online activities during the pandemic situation, provided that the physical mobility is realized (the student actually travelled to Hungary), but the activities can be carried out only or partly online due to restrictions arising from the epidemic situation.

We would like to inform you that we are only able to start the payment procedure after receiving the email from the faculty administration, confirming your arrival (II.A).

The scholarship is a comprehensive amount which not necessarily covers all costs of living, travelling and studying.

Please be aware that due to the financial regulations of ELTE and Hungarian State Treasury, the scholarship payments for the current semester have to be finalized two weeks prior to the start of the mobility the latest. Late nominations/awarded applications, therefore, might cause a month delay in the payment procedure.
