The dormitory is located next to the academic building if you are studying at the FGC, Biofac or RFiCT. I think its the most important advantage. Nearby there is a grove where you can get some fresh air and feel like you are in the forest. It may seem to some that the distance to some of the benefits of civilization (for example, shops) is quite a long one. I never saw a problem with that. Although not so often, buses run, so getting from point A to point B is quite realistic. Yes, and walking has not been canceled.
It is important to note that there are a lot of cockroaches in the hostel. This problem is present in many dormitories, so it's difficult to add anything. The only thing that is clear is that you need to get rid of them, but so far it has not been possible to do this.
The apartment-type dormitory has 2 rooms, a toilet, a kitchen and a bathroom. 3-4 people live in the room, depending on how many people decide to move in. Repairs are average, and plumbing problems occur periodically. The hostel is not perfect, but it is possible to live in it. Plus, the payment is quite small.
Overall, I like the hostel. I am glad that I spent my student years there.
For your money, this is a great place to live (as of 12.2024 - 50 rubles/bed/month). 1) You can wake up 15 minutes before steam and still have time for biofac / raf/ fgc 2)Due to compliance with all standards for the density of dorms (<6 m2 / person), it is possible to socialize (for example, for children who did not leave the house) and find a lot of friends. 3) There is a beautiful grove nearby where you can walk and again find friends, especially those who are thirsty on August 31. 4) If you are a biologist, then the rich entomofauna of the interstitial spaces of the dormitory will provide you with an object for research and perhaps you will love them so much that you will become an animal rights activist 5) The kindest administration supports your emotional tone, regularly encouraging you to observe the necessary order, labor and cultural methods, methods of personal and group conversation are used to raise children. 6) There is wired and wireless Internet for 40 rubles/month/ block (there are 6-8 people in the block), paid buffets, washing machines, free gym and playground with equipment, self-training rooms (which is useful because for fire safety purposes there are 2-3 tables in a room with 4 people), transport to more central points Minsk walks regularly (≈once/20 minutes), which provides opportunities for a high standard of living. 7) For safety reasons, the use of heating and cooling devices is limited, for example, microwave ovens, curling irons, boilers, refrigerators in the amount of > 1 refrigerator / unit. All this stimulates the mental activity of students and helps them to better solve difficult tasks in the future.
Children try to keep themselves clean, but cockroaches are permanent residents, indigenous. It is very cramped, in small rooms for 4 people, instead of 2 (there are no 4 beds, places for desks and other furniture). The wiring is very old, so electric kettles, microwaves, etc. are prohibited.
