Waiting List Application to the Accommodation Services, Budapest, 2025/2026 Academic Year for International Applicants/Students
The ELTE Dormitory Centre and the ELTE Housing Office continue their joint application to the accommodation services (dormitory and housing) of the 2025/26 academic year for the international applicants and students of ELTE who will study in Budapest.
Waiting list applications to the Dormitory Centre will have a result only if and when the applicant gets accepted to a dormitory. The housing service is continuous, being independent and unaffected by the result of the dormitory application.
You can learn more about the accommodation services here. Please, read it before applying!
Who can apply?
Any international student who had enrolled for at least one active or passive semester at ELTE and studies in Budapest is eligible to apply in this proceeding!
How to apply?
The application form is available in the Neptun. Log in at hallgato.neptun.elte.hu, open the Student web, then choose the “Dormitory Waiting List and Housing Application 2025/26” form in the Administration / Requests menu.
The dormitory and housing applications are in separate sections of the same form. The selected dormitories show us your preferences, but you can be accepted to any dormitory. The answers can be changed until you click on the “Send” button on the confirmation page. After you click on “Send” (which is necessary to have a valid application!), the application becomes final, and you will not be able to change it anymore.
The application form is active
from 8th of September 2025, 10:00 am. (CET)
until 15th of June 2026, 23:59 (CET).
Result of the application
Applying does not grant a place automatically.
The housing does not have a result, it is continuous, and requires the activeness of the applicant to book a place. We are going to contact you within a few days after receiving your application with the actual offers.
Waiting list applications to the Dormitory Centre will have a result only if and when the applicant gets accepted to a dormitory. The Dormitory Centre will send the acceptance result in e-mail with the subject “Letter of Acceptance to the ELTE … Dormitory”. Make sure to check your spam folder as well!
Accommodation documents
To help the visa applications, the ELTE Letter of Acceptance includes a paragraph with the address of the ELTE Erdős Pál Dormitory. This paragraph does not grant you a dormitory place, but it is accepted by every Hungarian and most foreign authorities as a temporary proof of accommodation until you have an accommodation in Hungary.
The Dormitory Centre can issue accommodation documents (a proof of accommodation or dormitory certificate) for the next academic year only if and after you are accepted to a dormitory.
Every housing partner of ELTE provides the necessary accommodation documents if the booking has been confirmed by them.
