How to find an accommodation? Basically, there are two options: Rent an apartment with your friends or apply for accommodation through TBU.

Halls of Residence

The easiest way to find an accommodations is to apply for TBU dormitory, which follows several advantages but disadvantages as well.

  • The main advantage is that you are with other international students in one building and you can share knowledge and information but mainly you are at center stage.
  • The main disadvantage is that you can't choose your roomate, but later on you can apply for relocation.
  • Dormitory does include laundry with 50 CZK fee, free entrance to lounge/club-room/study-room.

You can live either  T.G.M Hall of Residence (U12) - Nám. T. G. Masaryka 3050 Zlín or Stefanik Hall of Residence (U7) - Štefánikova 150 Zlín.. It takes approximately 20 min by a walk from bus/train station to both dormitories.

Important things about dormitories:

1. The quality of furniture in the room at dormitories is different!!! Check this photos!!

2. You can pay the monthly rent by the card of in cash. Only Czech currency can be used for payment (CZK) otherwise you will be homeless till you get czech money. This rent can be different, depends which day in month you will arrive. 3000 CZK is recommended to have! Easiest way is to withdraw the money from ATM, due the relatively low exchange rate.
