What is enrollment for students. Where are the best parties? In our dorm

Neighbors, food, hygiene and the communist regime - everything you need to know about student housing

Entering a university is already quite an exciting step in adulthood. But for many it is baptism of fire independent life. And if it seems to you that life in a student hostel is a lot of fun and long-awaited independence, then you are certainly right. But you will also find that the clothes have ceased to wash themselves, prepared food no longer waiting for you on the table, money is like water, and privacy and silence are the most valuable currency after eating.



1. Neighbors

If you are lucky enough to live in a separate room all your life, forget about it for the next five years. Now you have neighbors. Not only behind the wall, but also in the room. As a rule, two or three students live in one room. And these are random people with their overshoots. You will have time to get to know them better, but do not rush to spoil your relationship with them.

If you come across a neighbor who washes the floors strictly in his half of the room and twitches when you sit on his bed, or a neighbor who builds nests of candy wrappers around him at lightning speed, eats crumbs from the keyboard and cuts his deep house to the fullest, don’t scandal . Neighbor can be merged. The easiest and painless way is to find a person adequate to your standards and agree on resettlement. And watch your tongue - gossip spreads in such closed communities faster than you can close your mouth, ending your plaintive story about a bad neighbor. Good relations with these people can be useful to you in some non-trivial cases, which will be discussed below.

You shouldn't fight with your neighbors, because these are the people with whom you will spend the next few years together.

2. Tolerance

You have a formed view of things, you know better than anyone who is to blame, what to do, what to listen, what to say and what to think. Well, know for yourself quietly.

The student hostel is the whole world in miniature. And stuffed with the same maximalists

If you had any stereotypes about the peculiarities of the mentality of the inhabitants of certain regions or representatives of certain subcultures, do not rush to broadcast them. In the near future, they will still undergo a significant revision.

You don't like the smell when the Chinese cook "their own food" in the kitchen? You will soon be eating their concoction on both cheeks. The hostel is a charge of tolerance (in rare regrettable cases- an injection of misanthropy and xenophobia) for the rest of his life. Where else will you get so close to so many absolutely different people- from devout Muslims to hockey fans, black metalists and skinheads?

3. Order

It is better to agree with your roommates from the door on how you will live, live, what time to go to bed, how many times a month to arrange cleaning, and so on. At the same time, find out who is what in domestic plan. You will immediately understand how this world works away from parental care. If you don't remove it, no one will remove it, the mountain of garbage will grow quickly, but, unfortunately, without legs. The bed will house half the contents of the closet and desktop, and one day, entering the room, you will not immediately be able to determine its location. Do not overgrow with dirt in anticipation of a big clean-up, weekends can be spent with much greater benefit by regularly and collectively maintaining order in the room.


It is better to agree on the mode of maintaining order in the room in advance

4. Hygiene

If you live in a corridor-type hostel, do not part with slippers for the shower. You do not want, like all these unfortunate people from advertising, to writhe with itching, burning and unnecessary suffering? Oh yes, and get ready to remember the skills of washing in a basin. Showers, they don't work everywhere, and if they do, where is the guarantee that someone hasn't confused them with a toilet? Well, if they still work, no one confused them with anything, take a book with you so as not to waste time in line.

5. Noise

If your neighbor is regularly thrown up at six in the morning, he starts rattling plates, shuffling his feet and slamming boxes, you can, of course, try to drain him (see point 1) or re-educate him. But if everything is hopeless, get earplugs. An amazing invention: with them, neither such larks-purples, nor night drinking, nor someone's active sex life, boil at least within an arm's length radius (and the distances there are approximately the same) are not terrible.


You still can’t escape from the noise in the hostel, so it’s better to buy earplugs right away

6. Commandant and security

The commandant is a supply manager and a representative of the authorities in one person. A necessary evil, to which you need to sacrifice your love of truth and not be shy to curry favor with him. Make friends with the commandant and the guards. The commandant will be able to relocate you to a better renovated room, bless you for relocation to a new neighbor, and in general, if necessary, will solve everyday problems, and not create new ones for you. If the team got into the habit of often looking into your room with a check, you can open the door naked once. She is shy and will drop by less often. It is better to appease and feed the guards - for a small bribe, they will let guests in after hours.

7. Room above the canopy

Do you like overnight guests? Then you just need to find out who lives in the room whose windows overlook the porch visor, and immediately make friends with them. After all, in the coming years of training, you and your friends will often climb into this window after midnight. By the way, three years ago there was still a curfew in the dormitories, after which the tenants (officially) could not get through the security. Therefore, the visor was also used in the absence of a stolnik lying around as a bribe to protect. In 2014, the curfew was lifted, students are free to return home at any time. If for some reason they still do not let you in, download the rights. And send your friends to the visor.


If you already had to live in a hostel, then it’s better to quickly understand that the main skill here is the ability to negotiate

8. Dead souls

As according to Gogol: good soul- dead soul. If you want to live like a king, find a student who has the right to a place in a hostel, but he, by some happy coincidence, is not going to use this right. Grab this man, run with him to the commandant and ask him to settle you together. The dead soul goes to live with his sweetheart (or where she is going to live there), and you enjoy the freed space.

9. Communism

Lenin may not be alive, but his cause is alive. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. Here is the main life hack - the communist system. To each according to his needs, from each according to his ability. You will be surrounded by people with a variety of incomes. But all of them will be united by one common sign - the sparkle of hungry eyes. Do not poke around the corners of the gifts from your grandmother, share. Consider it an investment in the future. When you have nothing to eat, you will evaluate the percentage of this contribution: the neighbors, remembering your delicious sausage, will certainly feed you. By the way, this doesn't just apply to food.


Living in a hostel means being able to share. Almost everything you have

10. Food

You will be tempted to eat all sorts of rubbish, which will fall to the bottom of the stomach, be difficult to digest and poison the rest of the organs. Even if your legs give way from fatigue, cook and eat normal food. All these chips, "doshirak" with dumplings and "cheburek in French" will backfire on you sooner or later. If, nevertheless, you do not plan to linger in this world and you are not embarrassed by the gained weight, at least think about money. Cooking is cheaper.

11. Keys

Do not lose the keys to the room, take care of them like the apple of your eye. Students sleep like the dead, so you have every chance to spend the night under the door if you are late. For the same reason, you should not close the door with a latch, only with a key.


In a hostel, not always and not everyone lives legally. You will also have guests for sure. So that no one is expelled, it is necessary, again, to be able to support a good relationship with neighbors. They, if anything, will cover you

12. Illegals

Remember good relations with all neighbors? So what else are they for? If you are expelled from the university, according to the rules, you must move out of the hostel. But who cares about these rules anyway? Be a man of the world and you can fit in the dorm for years while you sort out your problems with recovery, work and everything.

Rented housing for a student is an unaffordable luxury. Return to Father's house for most - unthinkable unwanted stress, a step back. You will be surprised at what you are ready to go and in what position to sleep on the floor, just so as not to return to hometown and not listen to the reproaches of the parents. Because at this moment you will definitely fall in love with someone, find some kind of part-time job and attach yourself to the city and the hostel with all your heart.

In the same way, you can enter your friends who came from other cities (well, or locals who wanted exotic things) into the hostel for a while. Friends can also be added to neighbors if you do not have space in the room. And for the neighbors to meet you halfway, what do you need? Well, you understand. Periodically, the commandant combs the hostel for illegal immigrants. They are often found in closets. Therefore, it is better to hide illegal immigrants in the most visible place. Or the neighbors.

13. Drama

Life hack for girls. If you took her from a neighbor young man- check the cereal for the presence of fragments, and in general be more careful at first. Your proximity to your neighbor this case gives rise to a huge number of options for revenge and reduces the number of obstacles to its execution.

School and student years are considered the best. No worries and problems, half a day - study, and half a day you can relax, walk and spend time actively with friends. Students and schoolchildren devote a lot of time to communicating with each other, because it is the friends of this period that remain with us for life. How do today's youth rest? One of the favorite activities of students and schoolchildren is to get together at someone's residence. But not everyone is familiar with this expression. In this article we will talk about what is "on the list".

Origin of the phrase

What is "on the list", today every teenager can tell. This is a company of friends or strangers who gathered in the same apartment to have fun. This is a modern interpretation. But where did this phrase come from? The word "fit" entered the active everyday life of Soviet citizens in the 1980s.

It is the promotion of the hippie style in our country that this expression owes its popularity. Hippies who led a vagabond life have always wanted a place where they can rest, communicate with fellow souls and sleep in normal conditions. It was these gatherings with friends, and often complete strangers, that began to be called inscriptions. Today, such meetings have many different types, which we will discuss below.

How are the parties going?

Many parties of this kind take place in apartments. Most often they are arranged by schoolchildren on those evenings when parents leave home. But it happens that students organize parties in their apartments or apartments that they rent. What is "on the list" in the minds of young people? This is a party to which many friends and friends of their friends are invited. Young people buy many types of alcohol, cigarettes or clog hookahs. Many young people at such events even "dabble" with soft drugs. The entry is considered successful if, at the end of the evening, the neighbors, who have repeatedly complained about loud music, call the police. In this way, children feel like adults, like the heroes of their favorite comedy films. This is a standard party scenario, but the entries are different:

  • Meeting people of the same interests - today board games are very popular. But not always the guys who enjoy spending this kind of leisure have people in their environment who share their interests. Therefore, you can often find an announcement about a membership, the purpose of which is to get together big company and play in board game a certain kind.
  • Carriage meetings are practiced quite often. People who travel a long time from one end of the country to the other can find friends of interest. Such companies usually occupy adjacent seats in a reserved seat or even retire in a compartment. Of course, it happens that the purpose of such gatherings is an intellectual conversation, but more often people are just going to have a drink.

  • Sassy stranger - this kind of entry is a bit dubious. The description of such an unexpected guest can be given by an example. A stranger comes up to you on the street and asks you for shelter for one night. It is up to you to decide whether to give a person a roof over their head or not. Sometimes these are people who really got into trouble, but often this way of spending the night is practiced by those who feel sorry for giving money for a hotel.
  • An unplanned party - there are many examples of such entries in foreign cinema. Standard teen comedies often talk about how a group of his friends, friends of their friends, and friends of these friends falls over to some modest student.

Who goes to enrollment?

Parties are most often attended by students who want to unwind after a school day. Young people have a large time reserve and have the opportunity to sleep off in the morning after a sleepless night. But do all students like such activities? Youth slang, cigarettes, piercings and dancing until you drop - these activities are somehow associated with a young age. After all, it is at this time that recklessness turns into responsibility for one's actions.

But this period is not experienced by all young people. There are nerds who do not understand why registration is needed at all, and try to avoid such events. And there are quiet people who, maybe, would like to go to a party, but no one invites them there. In general, Russian registration lists usually hang out with young people who are considered good students at the university, and those students who often get "satisfactory".

How do parties end?

We understood what “at registration” is, and now we will find out how such events end. Usually the drunken brawls of youth are dispersed by the police or neighbors. The latter simply cannot fall asleep to loud music, trampling and loud speech. But if no one interferes with young people, then the likelihood that the night party will turn into the morning is very high. But most of the guests of the event by that time will either go home or fall asleep. It also happens that after one party, students move to another or go together to continue to have fun in a nightclub.

Why is this type of entertainment necessary?

Like youth slang, students need drunken parties in order to feel like an adult and work up in their youth. Usually people who have not had fun parties in college years, they begin to catch up at the age of 30. But most people by this time already have time to get a family and children.

And when only parties and clubs are in your head, it’s quite difficult to be a good father or a worthy mother. Therefore, everything must happen in a timely manner. After all, only when one stage of life has been experienced, conclusions can be drawn from it. Of course, this does not mean that you need to check everything on your own experience.

Examples of entries in the cinema

Youth company in the feed Russian production Stilyagi perfectly demonstrates examples of how apartment parties were held in the USSR. Moreover, modern real life not far removed from this fictional scenario. Human feelings are timeless. Students and schoolchildren will always be friends, fall in love and hate. These first experiences build character and help a person to get used to adult life better.

"The Hangover" is a sensational film about a wild night before the wedding. Undoubtedly, this picture fell in love with modern youth, not only due to the abundance of comedy situations, but also because the picture teaches to avoid awkward situations that the groom and his friends may encounter.

How do parents look at the rest of today's youth?

When a friend's check-in ends with the arrival of the police, parents usually don't even know about it. But when the party ends with the arrival of the peacekeepers directly to the student and schoolboy, his parents go berserk. A lecture begins that the son is a disgrace to the family, and it is not clear who he just went to.

But how can you scold a child for growing up, learning the rules of living on a residence permit and having fun from the heart? Decent children will not rowdy, they are too well brought up for this, but they are unlikely to refuse to dance and drink a little.

What conclusions do young people draw?

Inscription in youth jargon is not just a party, it is an event where you can get acquainted with interesting people. With many of them then you can become best friends. Stormy student years are different for everyone. Someone prefers to sit behind textbooks, and someone - to dance until the morning. You can't blame people for finding pleasure in different things.

And here former students who preferred studying, may not get a chance to visit registrations and meet incredibly colorful people. It's all about prioritization, and what to focus on - everyone decides for himself.

Vpiska is a place where a hitchhiker can spend the night, wash, eat and, having rested, hit the road again. True, the same term applies to apartments where young people gather in a familiar or unfamiliar company for a party and hang out until the morning. That is, as you understand, registration means the opportunity to be a guest at some address, temporarily “fit in”.

Today we will clarify how and why they are organized different kinds listings. Probably, information about the rules of conduct on the territory provided by the hospitable host will also be of interest to the reader.

Where did the new meaning of the word "inscription" come from?

History says that the mentioned term appeared in the Soviet Union, when the hippie movement came into fashion. It was then that free youth looked for a place where they could all get together and have fun. In addition, hippies never had money, and they always loved to travel around a huge country - in such situations, their membership helped out, allowing them to spend the night and relax for free.

It is very important to have an email address

What to do at the check-in, perhaps not everyone understands. After all, this is, basically, not an invited visit to visit (although today it happens more and more often), but a forced stop on the way, which almost never ends for hippies and similar representatives of other youth movements. Therefore, the masters keep precious notebooks in which not the names are written alphabetically, but the names of cities with the addresses of those who can provide an entry, and hence the opportunity to spend the night under a roof, wash and eat.

Features of life on the list

For a beginner, his first entry (you can see photos of such apartments in this article) is the entrance to a special world of free and sometimes very strange relationships. After all, most often those who came have no idea which of this colorful crowd, located on every centimeter of the apartment, is the owner. And he cannot always answer how many people ("People") in this moment lives in its territory.

And although the rules that all the guests in the house try to follow are usually dictated by the owner, how the next entry will end depends largely on the company that is currently gathered under one roof.

Usually, the conditions of stay at the check-in are far from hotel ones: there are much fewer beds in the apartment than those who want to spend the night, so guests sleep 3-4 people in a single bed or even on the floor. If one of the experienced ones has his own, then they look at him as a master of survival, and they are not mistaken - this one will not disappear anywhere!

And what are the feelings in the morning?

Yes, for many, the word “fit in” sounds magical and romantic! What does this noisy motley company, a bunch of new acquaintances and prospects mean for a beginner? Probably, some kind of initiation into a special world, unlike the boring and ordinary one that is observed around.

True, in the morning from fatigue and an uncomfortable posture during sleep, which, alas, there is no way to change, because everyone is lying like sprats in a jar! My head aches, heavy from tobacco (and not only) smoke, through which I had to look at my roommates. And the visitor to the listing looks very shabby, because he has to sleep in clothes.

You must comply with the rules of residence on the list

Registration is, in spite of everything, an opportunity to feel freedom, allowing you to break loose at any moment and leave wherever your heart desires. And in order to get on the list again and again, in order to please experienced travelers who can give you new addresses, try to follow the generally accepted rules:

  • the owner dictates the conditions that are unconditionally fulfilled by all guests (if he goes to bed early, you do the same, and if he hangs out until the morning, sleep is not expected);
  • Be polite;
  • cleanliness should become your credo (wash dishes not only for yourself and be sure to take out the trash);
  • other people's things can not be touched;
  • a landline telephone can only be used with the permission of the owner and within the city (it is unlikely that anyone will like to pay for other people's long-distance calls);
  • bathroom and kitchen - amenities that are used only with the permission of the owner;
  • when you go on a trip, take some sweets with you to thank good man for hospitality.

Be friendly and sociable, get to know your neighbors in housing - this can always come in handy.

What is the use of enrollment

If you, by all means, want to meet the dawn on the St. Petersburg embankment or walk along the Black Sea beach, but there is no money for this, then - what you need. She will help your dream come true, however, for this you need to find a person who will let you in.

By the way, do not think that every apartment where registration is practiced is always something that looks like a brothel and a drug den at the same time. No, not always! After all, it is often organized by lonely people who need to communicate, for whom new acquaintances are much more valuable than any monetary equivalent. This is how lists appear, which are more like hostels for those who have no money at all, and in the media you can read ads inviting those who wish to spend the night at the list.

True, in big cities there are much more such addresses than in small ones. And the best of them experienced travelers keep in their cherished notebooks and share them only in their own circle. But if you set a goal, then you can find such an entry at any geographical point.

Remember that, having received the desired phone number, you should not delay the call: arrange in advance, because the owner may have other plans or an exorbitant number of guests at the time of your arrival.

Be sure to introduce yourself to the owner by phone and explain how you got the registration number, when you arrive and for how long you want to stay. By the way, you can be refused without even explaining the reasons. Well, keep looking, call other numbers, someone will definitely take you. Know that if you have any acquaintances with the prospective owner (meaning those who stayed with him before), then the chance to arrange an appointment is much higher than in other cases.

Separately, remember what a friend's list is

There are also types of entries that have special names. For example, "Legion": it is considered one of the safest, because all those gathered in the same apartment know each other and come together not only for drinking alcoholic beverages but also for communication.

Guys, as a rule, bring girls with them, sometimes those they met through correspondence. This brings an element of adventure to the meetings. Although, unfortunately, after five or six meetings, the “legionnaires” begin to look for places to register on the side ...

An entry called "Flet" is considered even safer. Friends and acquaintances gather there in order to do what they love, for example, listening to music, watching a match or playing on a computer. By the way, such "congresses" were especially honored by informals under the Soviet Union: dissidents gathered here.

Is it dangerous to spend the night on registration?

Let's not hide, for beginners, going to strangers in a strange city is a rather big risk of running into a psychopath or a maniac. But that's not what you're most afraid of. After all, the entry is very often a place for merry parties, with booze and more. And only in the morning, the one who took the surplus suddenly finds himself robbed and it’s good, if only that!

The conclusion in this case is one: do not get carried away with alcohol! Do not use suspicious potions, be careful and prudent if there are strangers around you! Good luck with your entries!
