5. How do I secure housing in Collegium Civitas?
   
   Collegium Civitas does not offer campus accommodation, but our Office and the Erasmus Student Network (ESN CC) will assist the guest students in finding suitable lodgings.
   
   You can rent a flat or a room in a so-called student-flat (the flat which is co-rented by students) or a room in a house/flat occupied by its owners. We advise to take the first option, as in the second one you should be ready to conform to the owners’ requirements. Before signing the contract you should always ask about the smallest details concerning your life in the house.
   
   Living in a student-flat is likely to be less complicated. Depending on a situation – there could be single, double or even more bedded rooms. Before taking the last decision you should always see your future flat. Do not rent a flat without checking it first.
   
   The sooner you start looking for your accommodation the better. You can use the internet, local papers or you can find information on "the announcement boards" situated in the Collegium Civitas hall or in every Warsaw University’s building. The cost of such accommodation in Warsaw depends on the area and standard, and ranges from 350 to 500 Euro per month. Finding accommodation in Warsaw might take a while. Be prepared for overnight in a hotel or cheaper place like Youth hostel. We can recommend Okidoki Hostel situated in the city centre and close neighbourhood of Collegium Civitas. Please visit www.okidoki.pl for more information and reservation.
