- ERASMUS+ Study mobility at Politehnica Bucharest, the application is completed and submitted by the student previously nominated by the partner university, filling the Student Application form on erasmus.upb.ro and checking the box for Accommodation in Politehnica’s dorm.

Private accomodation
ADVICES if you want to rent a room/apartment in Bucharest:
- There are many Facebook groups with accommodation offers where you can create an idea about the places and the prices. Do not send money if the owner is asking to much in advance, or if is not convincing you with the information you get.
- If you do not have a place to stay before coming in Bucharest you can find a decent price on AirBnb or search the apartments/houses for rent on olx.ro.
- Try to get an apartment next to a metro station or any other tram/bus station (the fastest transportation in Bucharest is the metro).
- You can ask the help of an real-estate agent, but they will charge you a commission and will ask you to sign a pre-contract.
- Ask many questions when you see the apartment and before signing the contract.
- The warranty to be paid to the owner is common to be 1-2 months’ rent, usually paid in cash.
