Campus Features
Lublin is the capital of Lubelskie Voivodship which is situated in south-eastern Poland and covers an area of 25 121 km2 (almost 10% of Poland). The geographical location on the Eastern border of the European Union makes it an important centre of cooperation between Eastern and Western Europe.
Lublin is the largest and the fastest developing city on the right side of the Vistula River, with an area of 147,5 km2 and about 360,000 inhabitants. This city plays the role of administrative, educational and cultural centre of the Voivodship. Its rich history and the fact that it is located in a multicultural melting pot define its characteristics and unique values. They have been particularly well reflected in its architecture, topography and the social and cultural development of the city.
All those qualities add to the unique local diversity of Lublin city and make it exceptionally attractive not only to students and tourists but also to filmmakers, who will surely find it a rich source of inspiration.
Accommodation
The most popular option is sharing a room with other students or students – the rental price is the cheapest then. Single rooms are available both in student houses and private apartments, however, you must be prepared for a higher price.
It is common to pay a deposit in advance while renting a room/flat – it is usually the amount of one or two months’ rent, and at the end, if no damage is made, the deposit is returned to your bank account. If a deposit is required, you have to pay to confirm the reservation and keep the chosen room/flat.
