Student Accommodation
PUMS dormitories are located within walking/biking distance from most of the University hospitals, teaching facilities, sports facilities and the library. They are also quite close to Poznan downtown and include a private cafeteria, laundry facilities, internet access, study rooms and social rooms, parking, etc. Student housing is protected by campus security. Our dorm community is also supported by a dedicated English-language Resident Advisor team, made up of student volunteers.
Accommodation in Dormitory
There are four dormitories designated for housing of the students in the English language programs at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences — Eskulap, Medyk, Aspirynka and Karolek.
All of them are located quite close to the Poznan downtown and reasonably close to the University hospitals and the school premises. Listed below is each one of them with some relevant details, addresses, and contact information.
It is rather typical of Central European universities that certain school buildings are scattered throughout the city. And this is the case here as well where the dormitories, various school buildings, hospitals, clinics, libraries, teaching centers, and laboratories, which are part of the Poznan University of Medical Sciences, are not all located within the boundaries of a single campus area — but are all easily accessible on public transportation.

section 48)
Any currently enrolled students are eligible to sign up for the on-line waiting list, but dormitory assignments from waiting list can be made only after the University has provided dormitory accommodation to all its newly accepted students who registered for dormitory by the end of July of that particular year. The names of students who signed up for the waiting list are not invalidated with the end of an academic year. Dormitory assignments based on waiting list registrations are available between October 15 at the latest and April 15 of a given year according to availability of rooms in a particular dormitory. A student who has moved out of a dormitory for which he registered, is automatically removed from the waiting list for this dormitory.
section 49)
As part of dormitory waiting list registrations for a single room the University introduces rules with a high priority on seniority:
a) all students in their last and second-to-last years of study (“senior students”) who apply for a single room get assigned on a strictly first-come, first-served basis,
b) all non-first-year persons that apply for a single room and who do not fit into the “senior students” group as described in Item above will be granted a room, but only after all current “senior students” defined in Item a) have had their requests granted,
c) no first year student will be assigned a single room unless the first two criteria described in Item a) and b) have been satisfied,
d) students in their last year of study undergoing part of their coursework (e.g. elective rotations) abroad who apply for dormitory accommodation will have priority over other students, but only after the University satisfies requests of all current first-year students.

Current students should register their dormitory applications for the following academic year via the University online system VISUS (VISUS – SYSTEMS – DORM APP – Dormitory Reservation).

Residential Advisor (R.A.) system at PUMS
The purpose of the R.A. system is to promote an environment in the dormitory which facilitates studying and sleeping, and also community. In addition, R.A.s are also expected to act in the best interests of their residents. Residents can therefore approach R.A.s with any kind of problem: room mate conflicts, questions about the university, help with personal issues, safety and security, suggestions for improvement of the dormitory or RA systems, and so on. R.A.s will try to help the resident solve the problem or, if that is not possible, to point the resident to someone else that can help.
The information about R.A. duties hours will be posted on laminated posters on dorm entrances and updated on daily basis.
