Some 2,000 Romanian Students Left Without Dorm Rooms

"Some 2,000 Polytechnic students were left out, as rooms were distributed exclusively based on academic performance once the social cases were solved. Students with more than three failed exams did not get any room," National Student Union president Gabriel Petrea told MEDIAFAX.

According to Petrea, 90% of freshman students received rooms, as they had priority.

"It is normal for them to have priority. They come to the university for the first time and they need to be given a chance. If they study, they keep their rooms, if not, they lose them," Petrea said.

Student lodging began Saturday without incidents, while both Petrea and the administrative manager of the housing complex said they are pleased with the pace of the process.

"There were slight problems, especially for those who failed to register in the database for lodging. We announced everyone that if they fail to register, they will not get a room," Petrea said, adding there are cases of students in this situation. These students were called to fill in the necessary papers Monday, if there are any rooms left.

However, Petrea said there are also situations where students sell the right to use a room, and the price can even reach EUR600.

On a national level, the student dorm situation remains a problem, as there is one room for every six students.
