The first state student dormitories in Romania were established in the interwar period, aimed at providing housing for provincial students in the capital. The 1919 decree created a national system with student societies responsible for dormitory management. Students paid a standard fee, with free accommodation for exceptional cases. Strict regulations governed behavior and living conditions, including curfews and limited visitation hours. Admission involved written and oral exams, and maintaining good grades was essential for retaining accommodation. The conditions varied significantly between male and female dormitories, with private options offering superior amenities at higher costs.
