Accommodation

Vytautas Magnus University has two students’ dormitories. The newly renovated dormitory is in the very centre of the city; the second university dormitory is further from the centre. During the academic year foreign students are accommodated in VMU student dormitory (Vytauto pr. 71, Kaunas), in the city centre.

Students in the dormitory of VMU are accommodated in shared rooms for 2 or 3 persons. Each room has a table, a bed, a wardrobe and chairs. Beddings and towels will be provided. There is a fridge in each room. Usually two rooms are in one block. Internet access is available in each room.

In order to get accommodation in the Vytautas Magnus University dormitory you have to apply for an accommodation with a special Accommodation form. Accommodation form should be send to International Office of VMU by the deadline.

Accommodation forms received later than the deadline may not be processed. This means that you cannot expect to be accommodated in the university dormitory, and you will have to find accommodation on your own. You will, however, be added to a waiting list, but we cannot guarantee you any accommodation due to the lack of rooms available at the moment. In case we have more applicants than rooms available, priority will be given to students whose “Accommodation form” was received first.

The International Office will however make an effort to inform you about your accommodation by sending you an e-mail before your arrival in Kaunas.
