We are delighted to introduce you to the Nazarbayev University dormitory – an environment where we encourage students to realize their full potential and have an active student life.
Living in the dormitories of NU and taking advantage of its academic, sport and other facilities not only facilitates students’ personal developments, but also inspires them for future commitments to the University and the society in general.
All dormitory rooms are equipped with everything needed for a comfortable living: beds, desks, closet space, bedside tables, Wi-Fi routers, etc., so there is no need to bring any extra furniture. Room dimensions vary according to the block.
