In general, the hostel MIIT has eight, and as it became clear from the reviews, four of them require repairs and a more comfortable arrangement. Two hostels are ideal, the remaining two are in an ordinary average state. But getting a seat even in an uncomfortable building is not so easy. To budgetaries the hostel is given in the first place, but only to those who live more than sixty kilometers from MKAD.
Preference is given to technicalspecialties. Those who study for fee, can count on a place in a building located in the city of Pushkino, costing from 2700 rubles a month.
