Sunteți întâmpinați cu drag la UVT, o universitate dinamică ce oferă resursele sale materiale și intelectuale astfel încât studenții să poată atinge cel mai înalt potențial și să devină cea mai bună versiune a lor.


Traiul în Timișoara

Cazare

Cazarea pentru oaspeții UNITA poate fi asigurată în căminele UVT situate în zona studențească și în oraș (vezi harta).

Studenții pot fi cazați în cămine UVT cu camere duble (baie comună), camere triple (baie privată), camere cu 4 sau 5 paturi (baie comună) și cu o serie de facilități (internet, TV prin cablu, facilități de spălătorie, săli de lectură, bucătărie comună etc.), la un buget prietenos pentru studenți.

O altă opțiune este de a închiria un apartament în oraș. Această opțiune este mai costisitoare, costul mediu pentru un apartament cu două camere este de aproximativ 300 euro/lună, dar acest lucru depinde de locație (mai central = mai scump).

Pentru vizite pe termen scurt, oaspeții UNITA pot opta și pentru un hotel. Deoarece Universitatea este situată la câțiva pași de centrul orașului, orice variantă a unui hotel din zona centrală a Timișoarei ar fi o opțiune adecvată.


Cantine

În cadrul și în jurul universității există o serie de opțiuni alimentare disponibile:

În clădirea centrală a universității este o cantină dedicată servirii mesei. Aceasta are avantajul faptului că este poziționată în cadrul universității, fiind astfel posibil să te bucuri de o masă între orele de curs, sau înainte de a merge la locul de cazare.

Chiar vizavi de clădirea centrală a universității te poți bucura de o băutură sau de o masă la o varietate de restaurante și bistrouri, alături de localnicii din Timișoara.

Restaurantele din complexul studențesc sunt variate, accesibile și aproape de căminele studențești.

Amintește-ți că mâncarea cea mai sănătoasă și eficientă este cea făcută de tine! Cumpărarea produselor direct de la piață și pregătirea lor în bucătăria căminului sau a chiriei te va ajuta să economisești destul de mulți bani!
