Mentor - help during student's stay in Poland:

I know that a lot of our future incoming students are very interested in the possibility to have a mentor who'll help them in their "first steps" in Warsaw and generally during their stay in Poland.

Being a foreign student at the University of Warsaw, Faculty of Management gives the students the opportunity of having their own mentors - a Polish Warsaw University student who can pick up them up from the airport after arrival, take them for the Faculty/University and town tour, introduce to them the formal procedures and the student lifestyle, and generally provide them with any kind of help throughout their stay.

To apply for mentor please place an appropriate note in our application form or just send me an e-mail.

Accommodation and living in Warsaw

The University of Warsaw has agreements with a few dormitories for students. Rent ranges per month depend on the sort of room (double or triple) and student house.

For more information about our dormitories please visit: http://www.uw.edu.pl/en/page.php/facil/dom_en.html Students who would like to apply for university accommodation are requested to send us completed Housing application form.

The easiest way to submit that document is by scanning & emailing it to the Faculty IRO, at: akrol@wz.uw.edu.pl.

Please note: the rooms and flats in our dormitories are scarce and unfortunately we CAN NOT promise that we will be able to arrange the housing for you in your selected student house!

Students who would like to look for accommodation on their own will be able to find some useful information under this link: How to find accommodation in Warsaw.
