STUDIES IN BULGARIA COST OF STUDY
Wondering how much it costs to study in Bulgaria? Some time ago, we presented you the tuition fees in Bulgarian universities.
Today we will pay attention to the cost of accommodation and living if you wish to start your studies in Bulgaria, which is good to anticipate:
-
Accommodation
Most universities in Bulgaria have dormitories, but they are not the preferred accommodation for international students.
Greek students starting their studies in Bulgaria prefer to stay in private apartments near the universities.
Depending on the city, the region, the type of accommodation you choose for your stay in Bulgaria the amounts vary.
Those who dream of luxury will find it at the right prices. Those looking for a house are advised to prepare between 350 and 550 euros. This is approximately the rent for a one bedroom independent apartment, living room with kitchenette and bathroom. For a multi-room apartment that can be shared by two students the rents sleep from 550 to 650 euros. We recommend staying in the area near the university. It is also good to take into account the bills for each apartment, such as electricity, water and internet.
-
Food
The average cost of food for students in Bulgaria is around 150-200 euros per month. This is if you shop at local stores and large chains such as Lidl, and Kaufland. These stores offer relatively lower prices on their products.
Meals in a middle class restaurant: Appetizer – 4-6 euros; Pasta – 6-10 euros; Main course – 8-16 euros. Don’t forget that in Bulgarian restaurants bread is charged and costs about 1-1,50 euros per person.
As a country known for its deep culinary traditions, Bulgaria also offers a top experience for lovers of sophisticated gourmet dining. It’s as if it came off the cover of a decorating magazine. Dining in one of these restaurants will cost you about half of your monthly rent. The question is – is there a price for happiness?
-
Transport
You’ve already chosen a university in Bulgaria, you’ve found a place to live, it’s time to think about how you’re going to move. Public transport in Bulgaria is a relatively easy way to get around the city. Taxis are relatively cheap, especially when used by many students to attend lectures. On the other hand, staying close to the university will save you this cost. For students in the capital, the metro station is a very convenient and economical way to get around the city.
-
Other expenditure
The cost of living and the cost of studying in Bulgaria depends on a number of factors, the most important being the standard of living of the student. Students in Bulgaria, having a specific budget for a month, it is good to predict an average cost. The cost of internet is about 15-20 euros per month, which provides the necessary speed and quality, including to carry out and online education.
