Are any places/rooms available? Can we get a place for instance by September?
If you are a student of the University of Tartu and would like a place in any building, you will most probably get an offer relatively soon. But if you submit an application and indicate for instance the end of August/September as the time of moving in, there will probably be no more places available by that period so we cannot make you an offer. If a first-year student is quite sure that he or she would like to live in a residence hall in autumn, the application should be submitted as soon as the threshold value has been crossed; a senior student should submit an application before the admission period of the university.
If I am the 495th in the queue, does it mean that it will take me several years to get the place?
Applications for places are in a general queue regardless of the content of the applications. So the order number of an application does not always mean that all applications before you should be granted. If you wish to get a place in any building but there are, for instance, numerous applications for single rooms just before you, a vacant place will be offered to you although many applications have not been granted yet just before you.
Why are the queues for single rooms so long?
The Student Village manages approximately 3 200 places and only about a hundred of them are single rooms. There is a high demand for single rooms but they are seldom vacated. Therefore it may take approximately a year or a year and a half to get a single room. So you could at first apply for a place in a room (or a twin room for one person, if available) and then, once you have a place, wait for a single room.
Why cannot the application for a place be submitted again from the web site?
If you have already filled in the application once on the web site, your personal account has been created in e-kyla and you can add new applications only in e-kyla.
Why cannot several applications be in the queue?
Only one application at a time can be in a queue but you can define several wishes in your application (several buildings, also different or more specific wishes in the notes box).
Can an expired application be reinstated?
An application for a place is valid for 30 days and an expired application will be deleted from the queue, unless you extend your application during this period. An expired application cannot be reinstated, you can submit a new application if you wish.
Is it possible to apply for a place in a residence hall even if I do not study at the University of Tartu?
Due to the shortage of vacant places we can currently offer places only to students of the University of Tartu. Also students of other schools can apply for a place but we will offer places to them only if the number of vacant places exceeds the number of applicants.
When I have sent my application for a place, does it mean that a place has been reserved for me and that I can come to school to Tartu and to the residence hall in the autumn without having to worry about it?
We will reply by e-mail to applications for place so fill in your application very carefully to be sure to enter correct information. All those who have got a place or a room in a residence hall will have to sign the housing contract within the period indicated and to pay a deposit. The amount of the deposit in a renovated building will be 800 kroons per place, in an old building 400 kroons per place. The deposit will not be repaid if the contract is cancelled before its coming into effect. Housing contracts are signed in the Housing Department of the Student Village on working days during office hours at Narva mnt 25. Read additional information about the housing contract here.
