Students live in single studios or bedrooms combined into apartments; bathrooms can be private or shared with neighbors. There are fully equipped kitchens, laundry rooms, and recreation areas for common use.

Students are accommodated in one- or two-bedroom apartments with a bathroom, kitchen and living area; there is laundry rooms, a gym with a swimming pool, and a cafeteria in the building.
