Accommodation

Due to reconstruction works, Comenius University dormitories (Mlyny residence) will not be available for incoming Erasmus+ and international students during the upcoming academic year.

An exception applies only to students who require a visa for Slovakia and, at the same time, have confirmed student status at Comenius University for the entire semester or academic year and are officially nominated by their faculty on a list submitted to the Rectorate and Accommodation Department.

These students will be able to apply for university accommodation through a dedicated housing application, which will be published on this site by the end of June

We plan to assign accommodation by 5 September 2025, or until the capacity is filled

All other incoming students are kindly advised to arrange alternative accommodation outside the university dormitories.
