Today in Moscow is really hard to find a suitable option for accommodation. Search yourself, hanging up the ad and asking babulek at the entrances, not whether someone rents an apartment or room? Such searches may be delayed for many months. And what if the housing need tomorrow? Here you can come to the aid of agents, however, in this case because it is fun to live in the capital you have to pay a lot of money. Be prepared for the fact that for the one-room apartment in South Butovo with you will take 350-600 dollars a month. The same number will have to lay out and the agent helps you with the search.

At first glance it seems that the choice is wide: not only whether in Moscow, rent housing, and the agent, honestly, practicing his fee, will offer you a lot of options. The problem, however, is that often, promoted by praising the apartment, he pretty roughly imagine what was happening in reality. And already then, when you moved in and settled over a new place, start to emerge pitfalls: a small dog, the favorite of your landlady, suddenly turns into a surly patlatuyu of dog, while the mistress found considerable musical talents, and therefore she was not sleeping on the night razuchivaya violin 'Turkish March'. Not the most pleasant alternative to the peaceful and interesting, but ... what to do? The money already paid, have to live.

In this regard, dorm rooms favorably with those of its potential mobility and a wide choice. The dominant position here, again, take the notorious agency, but their requests are not an example of modest (from 2000 to 4000 rubles for services).

After receiving this amount, you will be offered a choice of several options in different parts of Moscow. Basically this is, of course, will be the departmental hostel, where you may even discharge the registration of the place of residence, but the illusions on this score still is not particularly worth it. Monthly cost of living in the dorms also varies from 2000 to 4000 rubles. depending on the location and degree of comfort provided. Thus the word 'comfort' in this context is not a daily change of bed linen and certainly not a dinner delivery room. Only the presence of the phone and hot water in the shower. And anyway, if you are firmly resolved to live in a dormitory - be prepared for spartan conditions, because a substantial part of `rooms' are more like military barracks. Obviously, this is not the best option for the family nest, the more so because most tenants are "men in their prime, have no permanent job, but having some problems with the documents. Of course there are exceptions, then there are places suitable for the protection of life and the normal discipline, but they are not too many, and they usually are in the office of an organization.

Another fundamental difference between the residences of the rented apartment lies in the fact that here you may well try to solve their housing problems themselves. A striking example of this can serve as a student dormitory.

And where the students live?

It so happened historically that, as a political, economic, cultural, and God knows what else knows the center of the country, Moscow to everything else and still managed to become a recognized student Mecca. Indeed, few can compare with it by the number of universities, institutes and academies. So come here for knowledge not only from all over the country, but also from such exotic places as India, China, Uganda and Mali. And imagine, all visitors need somewhere to live. To do this in the capital formation and provides the student dormitories, whose presence has long been mandatory for university. Many of them, and to this day have not lost their original functions, that is populated exclusively by students. However, the vast majority of these residences is ready to take hospitality to their hearth and home and those whose `universities' are not temples of knowledge capital. For a modest fee, which varies widely depending on location and your ability to negotiate with local authorities (guards or grandmother vahtershami), you can get here is not only a roof over their head, but very interesting links such as you, the smooth living on 8 people in 4-bed rooms. Accessibility in this case, again, can be considered as a disadvantage, and plus dormitories. Here you can meet and Caucasian traders and seasonal workers from Moldavia, and in general many personalities openly marginal character. Particularly troubling lack of attention to this issue by the authorities. This is not the most quiet and the crime situation, and frequent fires ...

Instead of an epilogue

Summing up, we can say that the pluses dormitories should include a relatively small fee for accommodation and, again, relative, accessibility. The main drawback does not appear the most favorable conditions for life. Thus, we conclude: dorm suit someone who does not seek to comfort, and seeking the most favorable financial conditions or are considering this place as a temporary abode until he decides its housing problem in any other way.

However, all this can be considered natural. Because, if we consider the dormitory as a point on the graph for money, then its place will certainly be somewhere in the beginning.
