Accommodation and living costs in Europe

According to the European Commission, you will need €400–800 a month to live in Slovenia. Ljubljana is the most expensive.

A single room in a rented flat costs around €200–350 a month in Ljubljana, €120–150 in Maribor and €200–300 in the Primorska region. A shared double room is cheaper.

Be careful with student residences: if you come for your whole degree as a so-called private international student, you usually won't get a place in a student residence – Maribor is the exception. Residences (€120–250 in Ljubljana) are mainly for exchange students and scholarship holders, so start looking for a room early.

You can eat cheaply with subsidised student meals (boni): the state pays €2.63 towards each meal, and you pay between €0 and €4.37. A monthly student pass for public transport in Ljubljana costs €25.
