Tatari University Residence
Tatari University
Residence is a university center for men located in the heart of Tallinn, five
minutes walk from Vabaduse Väljak (the Freedom´s Square) and on bus routes to
Tallinn University and Tallinn University of Technology.
It offers
facilities and activities to help students get the most out of their time in
University. In Tatari University Residence, we hold that life and career are
not only about self-advancement, but a way to contribute to society, and that
academic pursuits are the start of that ideal's realization.
In that sense,
the Residence aims to help students and young people in their all-round
intellectual, spiritual and cultural development through a wide variety of
activities throughout the whole year to introduce them to the challenges of our
times and which foster a sense of responsibility in the use of time, talents,
and resources.
Activities are
designed to complement university studies, not distract from them, and to help
students develop a responsible concern for society and see their future professional
life as a way to serve society. Students are encouraged to help organize these
activities as well as attend them.
Activities
include:
- Good quality study facilities
- Courses designed to improve study and professional knowledge
- Social projects / work camps which foster awareness of society's
needs
- Regular cultural activities.
- Academic seminars and workshops
- Sports
Tatari University
Residence is more than just accommodation. It truly is a home away from home
where each person is recognized for her unique value. Each one contributes to
making this family atmosphere, which creates the opportunity to develop deep
friendships, a real spirit of service towards each other, and ongoing
intellectual and personal dialogue between all residents. The atmosphere in the
house relies upon the responsibility and respect for personal freedom of each
resident. An applicant is offered a place on the understanding that he will by
his positive outlook seek to maintain the high standards and family tone.
The Residence
maintains a strong Christian ethos, but is open to students of all religious
persuasions. As a result, the center cultivates arich universal outlook,
respecting all peoples and cultures.
Christian formation
is given in talks, seminars and doctrinal classes for those who would like to
attend them. Spiritual and doctrinal activities are entrusted to Opus Dei, a
personal prelature of the Catholic Church. The center has a chapel, and a
resident chaplain, who is a priest of Opus Dei.
Tatari University
Residence is run by NGO Baltic Association for Education and
Culture.
