Romania

Country: Romania

EU citizens can get a state-funded place on the same terms as Romanian students; otherwise fees are usually €2,000–10,000 a year, and non-EU students pay on average €2,000–5,000. Romania has 52 public and 32 private universities, and its universities of medicine and pharmacy offer medicine in English. See what a student residence costs (from €80 a month) and how far €600–900 a month goes.

Study in Europe estimates a student's monthly expenses in Romania at €600–900. You pay in lei (RON), but Study in Romania gives prices in euros:

student residence – from €80 a month,
