Answer

Most of the Romanian universities we work with have student hostels, however many students prefer to stay in their own apartments. In Oradea, Romania for example, the student hostels are mainly occupied by Romanian students from other cities. Whereas in Bucharest, Romania the student hostels have a large number of foreign students.

So yes, as a medical student you may rent a room in a student hostel, but that would depend on availability. We advise our clients to go with a shared apartment at first, allow themselves to become familiar with the environment and then look at other options.

Generally the student hostels in the Romanian cities we visited are in decent condition and are the most affordable. There are single and double rooms, communal bathrooms and kitchens as well as other basic facilities like call boxes. Romanian students are given priority and it is a little more difficult for new arrivals to get hostel accommodation.

We stay alert for opportunities to provide better accommodation options for our clients and keep clients updated on new options for as they become available.
