Choosing between an apartment and a dormitory
One of important issues, which employers decide is the issue of resettlement of their workers or line personnel who came from other cities. There are two main options. The first is to rent a hostel in Moscow or the Moscow region. In the second case, you can independently rent one or more apartments, or a house next to your property.
These are family homes that offer rooms and include a homemade breakfast. For us they seem to be the best option for our cozy atmosphere, its comfort and the benefits of being "living" closer to the city itself than in a typical hotel - more impersonal - than anywhere, since usually the owners are usually people close and friendly with whom to communicate in free time and it will give you good advice to get to know your city better.
Apartments: be at home
Although the apartments are more practical option, if you are going to spend more than three days in the city, they may become the best alternative, if you are traveling with your family, a group of friends or small children. They have the advantage that having a kitchen allows you to cook some food and be close to your air.
The option with an apartment (house) looks, at first glance, more interesting, attracting with its relative cheapness. However, upon closer examination, additional subtleties of this placement option are revealed. Firstly, payment must often be made for two months at once, for the first and last. Accordingly, if, for some reason, work on your site ends earlier than planned, then the money for the last month will simply “burn out.”

Looking for a cheap holiday in an expensive city
If your travel budget is adjusted, one of the biggest challenges will be finding cheap accommodation in Edinburgh. Like the rest of Scotland and the UK, the average hotel prices on the site are quite high, although there are always tricks and solutions to reduce the cost of accommodation.Budget accommodation in Edinburgh
Traveling out of season: During the Edinburgh Festival in August, prices for all accommodation doubled and tripled. We think that if you can, Edinburgh is worth visiting during this time, despite the prices, as the atmosphere of the city is unique. But if you don't mind traveling on other dates, you'll notice this in your pocket. The months of May, June, September and October can be good options for a cheaper trip to Edinburgh without being too cold. It is very central and the rooms are quite small but sufficient.
Secondly, very important factor is discipline, or more precisely, its absence. If a hostel operates according to its own internal rules, preventing noise at night, carefully monitoring the absence of drunken residents, then in the case of “free floating”, without additional control, incidents are inevitable. This, in turn, significantly affects the emotional background within the team and, as a result, increased staff turnover.
Pamper yourself: the best hotels
Out of season double rooms can be found from £35. An alternative is to stay in different price ranges, but you can find some good looking ones for around £60 a night in a double room. Even if you don't want to stay here, you'll definitely want to stroll around the New Town and take a look at its impressive building and its great clock. It is a very safe city; despite the amount of tourists you get, it's pretty quiet and you can walk around it at any time without any problem.
Further, when renting an apartment or house, the issue of workers’ personal hygiene becomes acute. Let’s say you can accommodate 15-20 people in a three-room apartment. At the same time, as a rule, apartments have a single plumbing unit and shower. This means that people will literally line up, at least in the morning, to go to the toilet and shower. Such a protracted process is also a kind of demoralizing factor that influences frequent changes of personnel.
So, aside from the normal precautions we should take everywhere, you don't need to worry too much. In fact, areas that were even more conflicted, such as the area of Leith, have today become very cosmopolitan neighborhoods that are becoming fashionable for drinking and are good options for staying in the city and experiencing Edinburgh from a perspective that is much more authentic and less 'polished' for the tourist .
Thousands of asylum seekers must live in makeshift facilities because the administration does not care about finding housing. Spokesperson for the Social Affairs Office: “Many refugees will never be able to find proper housing until the end of the war.”
It is also worth briefly noting such nuances as dissatisfaction with neighbors, which can develop into statements to the police; necessity self-registration registration of foreign citizens with the Federal Migration Service; the need to independently carry out disinfection measures in cases where one of your workers brings in “their own” bedbugs or cockroaches.
The Turaani family, who arrived in Germany eight months ago, are forced to live in a shelter with many other asylum seekers. The Turaani family's children have changed schools twice and will soon be moving rooms in eight months. Anna, Hamza and Saad Turaani are sitting on the bed and watching TV. For the past month they have been attending school in Berlin's Weddings district. "They are very happy," says his mother Rajaa Turaani. They are in a house that will be abandoned in the coming days: the Berlin administration has given the rent for apartments to some refugees who did not have space in shelters, but due to the new law it is not possible.
In the case when you rent, then be sure that almost all hostels in Moscow have:
Access mode
Internal regulations that provide for a quiet and comfortable stay for residents
Licensed private security company to maintain order
Toilet, shower and kitchen on the floor in the complete absence of any queues
Eight months after arriving in Germany, they are forced to live in the disrepair facilities that are perpetuated for most asylum seekers. “We only have suitcases of clothes because from the very beginning we knew we couldn’t stay here,” says Rajaa Turaani. They lived in an apartment that their owner rents to tourists, now outlawed to drive up prices in the German capital and a housing shortage for many people, not just refugees.
The Berlin Senate has introduced new rules banning property rentals to tourists unless they have limited exemptions. The norm came into force on May 1, and since then about 300 houses have been officially registered as such. The owner of Turaani can no longer continue to charge them high rents with tourist rates, and the management is not willing to continue to bear these high costs.
Regular disinfection of rooms
Daily wet cleaning of common areas
Laundry room, dryer
Refrigerator, TV in rooms
A set of furniture necessary for comfortable living
When choosing between renting an apartment or a hostel, remember that the stingy pays twice. Approach this issue not only from the side of economy, but also taking into account the additional difficulties that may arise in a cheaper option.
As a result, Turani, like thousands of refugees, see it as their only option to live in shelters, sports fields or other facilities where they share space with many other people. Although these spaces were created as temporary residences, they have become usual place accommodation for thousands of asylum seekers. Eight months after their arrival, this family of Syrian citizens will travel to a space they have avoided since their arrival.
In fact, Malek and Rajaa Turaani were happy from the very beginning. Not only because they had a settled life in Syria: he was a policeman and she had just finished her studies as an accountant. But because in the fate of the war, they were able to escape in time and settled in Dubai for some time. And although they shared their journeys, fears and dangers with many other asylum seekers along the Balkan route, when they had to leave Dubai, they were able to stay with relatives once they arrived in Germany.

Communication between students, I think, helps their studies; they compare themselves with others, help, and give advice on their studies. Place of residence is undoubtedly important, it also affects the future: either you are sitting on your mother’s neck, or you are thinking with your own head what to do and how to live next. I think the hostel is good school life.
Malek and Rajaa Turani, Syrian refugees, lived in Berlin for eight months and still have no home. Emergency shelters are designed for the first three months after arrival, but it is not only the lack of comfort that worries these Syrian parents. German media reported fighting, rape, abuse and other problems of coexistence in emergency shelters. The combination of nationalities, genders and ages, coupled with narrowness and fatigue, made conflicts common in these places.
Mobilization for refugees
There were also reports of abuse by security forces. A number of police vans and riot police cut off neighbors. Several activists hung a sign from a home's balcony, where it read "busy holiday floor." In front of the building, a spontaneous demonstration in support of this action demands: "Homes for those who need them."

I can’t say for sure, all people have different nerves and health, and community life can both toughen a person and demotivate him. And a hostel can either help or hinder your studies. It depends on the person.
Maria, never lived in a dorm
The hostel can play both a good and a bad role in your studies.
The advantages are that you can prepare for couples, for laboratory work together with friends, or ask advice from senior students at any time. The disadvantages are that your friends or acquaintances from the hostel can also interfere, distract, etc. Roommates, if your relationship does not work out, may not pay attention to requests to turn down the volume of the music, etc. A student, if he has a choice, must choose for himself where he will be better and more comfortable. If a person is comfortable, then his studies will not suffer.
The activists denounced in a statement that “refugees are being housed in absurd places in confined spaces.” A banner placed on a floor occupied in Berlin to protest gentrification. This is the second action of this type that takes place in the city, a couple of months ago it was symbolically occupied by another block in the Wedding.
Sylvia Costner, a spokeswoman for the office of social affairs, makes it clear that "no one stays on the streets that the press does not publish." He insists that every refugee seen without shelter receives sleeping place. Shelters and emergency shelters have space available. No refugee has to sleep in the open.

In my opinion, it all depends on the person - it doesn’t matter where he lives. If he wants to study, he will find time and conditions for studying in any place where he lives. Live where circumstances allow. If they give you a hostel, then stay there.
Alexander, lived in a hostel for 5 years
In my opinion, the hostel is some kind of component educational process: There is a certain educational atmosphere here, due to the fact that most students prepare assignments right there, in their rooms. And the hostel is an accustoming to self-organization and responsibility, since the student is now left to his own devices.
Of course, distractions are not excluded, but are precisely the very phenomena that develop willpower.
But a hostel is still a place where not everyone can feel completely comfortable - not all people can tolerate large crowds of people. However, I believe that it is desirable to live closer to the student movement, and study is influenced only by a person’s personal interest in acquiring knowledge and motivation.
Integration that "never comes"
Protest against gentrification in Berlin. The municipality spokesman admits that there are many obstacles to this rooftop being a private residence in Berlin, which the Germans themselves actually suffer from. “Many of them will never be able to find normal housing until the end of the war,” admits Sylvia Costner. At their Berlin headquarters they are thinking about the time when refugees return to their countries: We will have to guarantee the protection of the weakest, such as women and minors, but young people who come alone will have to rebuild their country, he says.
Yulia, 9 years of living in a dorm
The answers to the questions posed lie, first of all, in the person himself. To someone student dormitory will greatly interfere with your studies, but this does not mean at all that, living in own apartment, this person will achieve great success. It's all about the person's attitude, his views. Personally, in 9 years of living in a hostel, I have never regretted it (although there were different situations and different problems). Living in a hostel never interfered with my studies as I had a specific goal - to complete my studies. My opinion: place of residence has absolutely no effect on academic performance. If I had a choice of living in a dormitory during my student years or having my own place, I would, without hesitation, choose the first option.
Institutions provide assistance to students in finding housing and understanding rental terms. Temporary accommodation can be arranged before you leave your home, allowing you to consider where and how you would like to accommodate your home upon arrival. long term. Notice boards and student newspapers often advertise rooms, apartments and houses for rent. Below is a comparison table with various options placements and their features.

Students often communicate with other students. They advertise on bulletin boards and in newspapers. Students may have to arrange their own furniture. When renting a house, apartment or room, owners require that rent be paid in advance and that a security deposit equal to one month's rent be paid.Vladimir, 7 years in the hostel
Student dormitory educational activities doesn't interfere. But certain living conditions are probably necessary that would help improve the quality of housing services. Accordingly, a modern student will be comfortable living in a dormitory and will only care about his educational and research activities and future professional training.
Access the Australian lifestyle in a natural and friendly way with a homestay. It is popular with younger students and those studying short courses English language. Meals are usually included in the price. Single or shared rooms may be offered and rates vary accordingly. Self-catering accommodation is available at competitive rates by arrangement. Agencies track families prepared for placement foreign students during the academic year.
Educational institutions ensure that families of this type are respectable and offer acceptable standards. In a hostel you share your room with other people and this system works great here in Australia. Hostel prices vary depending on where you are and the type of room you are looking for. Prices for hostels in larger cities are usually higher. If you plan to stay for a while, look for hostels that offer weekly or monthly rates. Most hostels have a kitchen and laundry room for common use and even a barbecue.
Alexander, 10 years in the hostel
I think the hostel helps more. There are many friends in the direction, you can quickly contact someone. Accommodation affects academic performance, but not always bad place leads to bad results. I think that the hostel is not bad. Only if it's not forever =)

Student housing interferes with studies. Place of residence, of course, affects academic performance, because conditions are needed for classes. When it's cold, the shower and toilet don't work hot water, No cold water, they put 5 people in a room, there is no energy or strength left for classes. It is better for a student to live in an apartment, but it is a matter of money.
Anya, lived in a hostel for 6 years
In my opinion, luck matters a lot. If you are lucky enough to live in the same room with like-minded people, then your studies will only benefit: you can study together and relax. Place of residence, I think, often does not affect academic performance; you can study poorly even if you live in comfortable conditions. It’s not for nothing that life in a hostel is considered a “school of life.” When coping with everyday everyday difficulties, a student perceives other problems according to the principle “there is a task - to find a solution,” which is why such guys are often more successful than their “hothouse” classmates. It’s better to live where it’s comfortable and there’s mutual understanding.
Nadya, lived in the hostel for 7 years
A dorm helps if it is close to the university. It hinders me because I need to work certain hours, clean-up days. In general, place of residence can influence academic performance, because students. Those who live in another area have to travel to the university from afar and this requires a lot of extra time. But with the dorm - no. But still, my dream is to live in my own apartment near the university).
Such different opinions can be observed among undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of whether they have lived in the dormitory for a long time, lived just a little, or generally only went there for tea with friends. And on my own behalf I would like to add that, after all, being a student is a very wonderful time, and living in a hostel is one of the brightest pages of student life. We think that everyone should experience the delights and sorrows of the hostel, the memories will remain - a sea. It’s everyone’s choice to stay there for a long time or move to an apartment.
The right choice for you!
