Daily rhythm is a concept that has recently brought new insights into the description of how the city operates, the real number and movement of its inhabitants. It reveals facts that are not available in traditional statistical sources or are captured inaccurately or inadequately in detail. However, individual case studies are time-consuming and have not yet been implemented in a number of locations. The main aim of my work was to describe the daily and weekly rhythm of a chosen college dormitory and its most important pacemakers. The dormitory complex on the 17. listopadu street, which belongs to Charles University, fulfills a residential function and its rhythm thus corresponds to this model. Most people are present here in late night hours on weekdays. In the morning, there is a steep drop in the number of residents, with a maximum of departures between eight and nine o'clock, and a more gradual increase in the afternoon. On Saturdays, there are significantly fewer people in the area and the rhythm of arrivals and departures is much more balanced.
