Cum vor evolua si in 2012 cazarile pentru studentii din Bucuresti
Cazarile in camine se vor face la majoritatea universitatilor de stat, incepand cu 27 septembrie 2012, timp de aproape o saptamana, cu posibilitatea de prelungire pana pe 4 octombrie. Dar si in acest an se inregistreaza un deficit de aproximativ 70.000 de locuri la nivelul intregii tari, dupa cum sustin reprezentantii studentilor.
- In Bucuresti deficitul este de aproximativ 34.000, iar la nivelul tarii de 70.000
- Universitatea Politehnica din Bucuresti ofera aproximativ 13.000 de locuri in cele 26 camine, dar cu un deficit de 2.500 de locuri
- ASE (Academia de Studii Economice) ofera 5.250 de locuri in cele 15 camine si onoreaza cam 85% dintre cereri, a precizat prorectorul institutiei de invatamant superior, Istudor Nicolae.
Un concurent pentru absortia acestui deficit (Administrare Cazare Cantine), concurent ce se anunta pregatit din septembrie-octombrie 2012, va oferi locuri de cazare, atat in Caminul Titan care se afla in circuitul cazarii de cca. 3 ani, cat si in noile sale (anuntate) camine din Vitan si Pajura. Printre dotarile anuntate, conform surselor, studentii vor descoperii: acces pe baza de cartela, grupuri sanitare in camere, camerele vor fi de 2-3 persoane, cu kitchen space, etc. Intrebat despre tarifele percepute, aceleasi surse promit preturi rezonabile si inferioare caminelor private concurente, astfel incat aceste locuri de cazare sa fie accesibile si studentului cu venituri mici.
Astfel, pe portalul sau, administrare-cantine, a fost deja anuntata intentia, iar acum se asteapta si autorizatiile de construire, sperand ca pana-n toamna acestui an sa finalizare toate lucrariile de amenajare.
