Accommodation

Accommodation

Regarding accommodation in Split, incoming students have two basic options.

They may stay in a dormitory or seek for a private accommodation.
The University of Split offers accommodation for Erasmus exchange students  in the Student dorm „Hostel Spinut“ and Student dorm “dr. Franjo Tuđman (Campus)”, but the number of rooms at the Student dormitories is limited, therefore, places are distributed on a first come, first served basis.

IMPORTANT: University of Split can only guarantee accommodation in the dorms for the duration of the official mobility period stated in acceptance letters, so please plan your arrival/departure in accordance with it.
