Dormitory No. 7, prices, rules and a year of IASA student events.
Getting into IASA is not only about lectures, seminars and exam sessions. It is also a full student life: new friendships, your first taste of independence, late-night conversations in the kitchen and events you will remember for a long time. This article has two parts about what happens outside the lecture halls: where IASA students live, and what they live for.
A university is a small kitchen where everyone cooks a dish called “the future”. But if you are not from Kyiv, the dormitory is the main home where you will be the head chef of your own life. Here you will learn independence, mutual help and how to give way at the right moment — and after that experience, little will seem frightening.
IASA students are housed in corridor-type dormitory No. 7 of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
Address: Kyiv, Solomianskyi district, 3 Mykhaila Braichevskoho Street (postcode 03057).
The walk from the dormitory to building 35 (where most IASA students study) takes about 15 minutes.
Nearest transport:
Manager: Larysa Volodymyrivna Hurovska (office on the 1st floor, to the left of the study room).
Superintendent: Kostiantyn Stefanovych Onyskiv.
IASA staff member responsible for housing: Diana Dmytrivna Osadcha.
Head of the student council of dormitory No. 7: Maksym.
Useful Telegram channels:
As of 2025, places are allocated from recommendation lists supplied by the faculties and institutes — taking into account the study plan and the number of places available in the campus shelters.
The main condition: the student lives no closer than 40–50 km from Kyiv.
Applications are considered separately from:
More about the documents and the housing procedure is on the KPI campus channel.
First-year students are usually housed in rooms with minimal furniture and a fridge. The rooms are 12–14 square metres, corridor type. If you want, you can arrange with the manager to be housed with particular people.
As for cockroaches: keep the place clean and there will be almost none. You can sign up for preventive pest control at the reception desk.
The floor layout is standard: two toilets, rooms with washbasins, kitchens. On the ground floor there is a “study room” (a reading room). In the basement there are showers, a laundry room and a gym.
Laundry room — three machines with a note acceptor, in the basement next to the showers.
Kitchens — two on every floor.
Showers — two blocks (men’s and women’s), 8 cubicles each, in the basement.
The study room — a space along the lines of a reading room.
The gym — in the basement; it also serves as a shelter.
Current accommodation prices as of June 2025:
There are three ways to pay for your accommodation: through the hostelpay.kpi.ua site, by bank transfer using the details from the administration, or through the Privat24 app (the “Payments” section → Igor Sikorsky KPI).
Internet: the provider is KPI-Telecom, the tariff is UAH 160/month. Connect through @kpi_telecom_bot.
Laundry: three machines with a note acceptor, or through the Mate app.
A room is 12–14 m², so bring only what you need: clothes for the current season, a few plates and sets of cutlery, a kitchen knife, a saucepan. Any specific appliances are worth agreeing with your roommates — a lot of things may already be in the room from previous residents.
As for bedding, there are two options: bring your own, or get it free of charge from the linen keeper, with the right to exchange it every 10 days.
The main rules worth knowing:
Breaches carry penalties ranging from a warning to termination of the accommodation agreement. In 2025 the KPI Student Council proposed a new system — a social rating: different breaches carry from 1 to 4 negative points, and 4 points mean eviction. Community work on campus earns positive points.
The full list of rules is on the campus website.
Shops: Fora, ATB, Silpo (Arkadiia shopping centre), EVA.
Banks/ATMs: PrivatBank, Monobank, Oschadbank.
Nova Poshta: Branch No. 173, Branch No. 152 (Marmelad shopping centre) and several parcel lockers nearby.
Clinic: The KPI student clinic.
Canteens: in buildings 1 and 31.
What are the living conditions like?
“Not bad, if you are lucky with the room and the roommates — that is the most important thing. If you are not lucky, you do the place up and it turns out fine.”
“In my room specifically everything is really quite good, there are no cockroaches — but for that you have to keep it clean. The toilets are not great, nor are the showers, and there is often no hot water.”
“For a corridor-type dormitory it is honestly excellent.”
What do you like / dislike?
“I like the company and being able to arrange my own space. I dislike the problems with the hot water and the plumbing.”
“I like the way residents help each other: if you are short of something you can always ask, and people respond instantly. I dislike that when the hot water is cut off the dormitory offers no alternative at all.”
Any good stories?
“Once the door of the room next door jammed — there were 6 people inside. At one in the morning we spent half an hour freeing them: a screwdriver, a crowbar, passing tools through the window from outside… And then somehow I pressed with the crowbar at an incredible angle — and the door opened. Maybe that is why programmers do physics in their first year.”
A dormitory is not a five-star hotel. But it is perfectly liveable, and for many people it becomes a real home for years.
The IASA Student Council is one of the most active student councils in the university. Besides its organisational work, every year it runs a whole series of events that become an inseparable part of the student experience. Here is a full tour of what awaits you during your studies.
P.S. Because of martial law, not every event can take place in the planned format — some are held online or in a reduced form. Current announcements are in the IASA Events Telegram channel.
An absorbing quest in Pushcha-Vodytsia: tasks that test agility, quick wits and stamina. The ceremonial finale is eating a plate of buckwheat, which marks the beginning of your student journey.
A team exploration of Kyiv with tasks all across the city. A test of how well a group sticks together — the most coordinated team wins.
One of the first internal events: every group prepares a sketch on a given theme and performs it in front of the others. Getting to know your curators and coursemates in an informal setting.
A team intellectual game: chess and “What? Where? When?” in one format. You do not need to be a grandmaster — knowing the pieces and having a good memory is enough.
A themed All Hallows’ party: a costume contest, party games and dancing until morning.
An evening of card games: poker, blackjack and others. An event for anyone who likes to test their nerve and their strategic thinking.
An esports tournament in 5×5 format: Dota 2 or CS2. For anyone who thinks time spent gaming is not time wasted.
A nostalgic disco: retro music, dancing and an old-school atmosphere. The dress code matches the era.
A volunteering event: students restore monuments and look after public spaces together. About responsibility and a readiness to act beyond the desk.
An event for the feast of Ivan Kupala: a bonfire, folk rituals and the search for the fern flower. An atmosphere of togetherness and a little mysticism.
A themed party in 2010s style: the hits of your childhood, a dance floor and a dress code from that era. Nostalgia guaranteed.
Studying at IASA is not only classes and exam sessions. The dormitory gives you your first experience of living independently, and the events give you a community that makes these years full. It is the people around you, the shared memories and the mutual support that stay with graduates far longer than any set of lecture notes.
More photos and event announcements are on the IASA Student Council Facebook page, on Instagram and in the Telegram channel.
