A Word From Prof. Alex

Brookside Hall is not just a university residence and cultural centre for men. We offer much more.

We pride ourselves especially of two distinguishing characteristics of our offer:

Personal approach:

at Brookside Hall, we give importance to each individual student, having in mind his freedom and dignity as a human being;

Comprehensive formation:

we believe that the university education that each student is receiving is only a small part of his development; therefore, we strive to complement this with activities in the areas of cultural, professional, human and spiritual development.
