Dormitory Council

The Dormitory Council is a group of several students (five in our case) representing the interests of the residents in matters with the dormitory management. If you have any problem or suggestions for improvements regarding the dormitory, do not hesitate to contact us! Our e-mail address is kr@listopad.koleje.cuni.cz.

About once every two months (except holidays), we organize public meetings. Both the dormitory management and all the residents who are interested in attending are invited.

Examples of our activities:

• We created this guidebook ☺

• We lend leisure activity rooms.

• We administer managers of bike and luggage rooms.

• We arranged (in the past) the room reservation period.

• We enforced better service of the bus 187.

• We continually try to improve the dormitory (bike racks, single rooms, recreational spaces, gym, oven room, outdoor picnic tables, foosball).

• We run web pages with a lot of useful information.

• We keep you up to date with the latest news in the dorm Facebook group.

• We organize different events, support the initiatives of our fellow accommodated students and help you achieve the best dormitory experience!

We’re here for you!

Head of the dormitory

The head of our dormitory is Mgr. Jana Provazníková. Matters under her management include approving pets, renting out the big clubroom (in cooperation with the Dormitory Council), or resolving complaints relating to breach of the accommodation contract or complaints about dormitory staff. You can also submit wishes and complaints to her regarding the operation of the canteen.

The office of the head of the dormitory is located on the ground floor of building B, in the corridor behind the lifts.

Accommodation assistants

Accommodation matters are taken care of by the ladies from the accommodation office. Ms. Vojáčková is in charge of building A and parking and Ms. Gregorová is in charge of building B. However, this division is not set in stone and exists mainly due to mass arrivals and departures (so if one of the offices is closed, feel free to go to the other one).

Housekeepers / dormitory post office

Other activities in the dormitory fall under the housekeepers. They are the nice ladies who take care of e.g. moving out, painting, and replacing your broken “Student” chair. The housekeepers also collect the mail. Unfortunately, since 2018, they have been operating in the following mode:

• They take regular letters and put them in the recipients’ mailboxes.

• In the case of registered letters, they call the dormitory phone to see if the recipient is not in the dormitory, and if they are not, they leave a request in the mailbox to pick up the letter at the post office (usually the one near the Ládví metro station at Burešova 1663/6).

• They do not take packages at all.

If you behave politely, you can get along with them quite well.
