Housing services
The University of Sopron is going to accomodate you in one of its dormitories which is called VUK.
Your apartment contains two rooms with two beds in each one, a bathroom with a toilet, a small hall with a kitchen counter, a sink, a fridge and a microwave oven. Usually four students live in one apartment (2 students/room) in our hostel.
Common kitchens can be found on the second and fourth floors.Library services
The Central Library of the University of Sopron is one of the oldest reference libraries of Hungary. It was established at the time of the foundation of the first Hungarian School for Training Mining Officers in Selmecbánya. This school was created to meet the needs of the era, and it was approved by a statute laid down by the Treasury on 22nd June, 1735.
ICT services
You can access IT Services at the UWH with your UNI-SOPRON ID.
Campus life
Sopron is surrounded by the foothills of the Alps, thus it is characterized by a beautiful hilly landscape, which is ideal for outdoor activities like jogging, mountain biking and hiking. Lake Fertő, Central Europe’s largest endorheic lake, is also very close to the town.
Sports facilities
We are offering you several sport activities in the afternoons such as ball games and aerobic. Free swimming tickets are also available.
Student clubs
The Dance group was founded mainly by university students. They represented the progressive branch of folk dance with a new attitude and in an authentic way. Their influence is still felt in Transdanubia. The company has trained and provided many experts for the region. The Dance Circle has toured in Transylvania several times, and has performed in Germany, Austria, France and Ireland. Their primary aim is not the training of professional dancers or performing on stage, but inspiring students with an appreciation of our common treasure, the folk dance.
