Study in Poland

2. Living

Although Poland has been a member of the European Union.. . since 2004 and has experienced a dizzying development, the cost of living in Poland is still relatively low compared to other EU countries. It is estimated that approximately 1500 PLN (EUR 350) per month is sufficient to cover the cost of housing, transport, food and equipment in Poland.

The cost of entertainment and cultural events is also much lower than the EU average. The basic costs for studying are also very competitive. The average is around 2000-5000 Euros a year (depending on the discipline) much lower than the EU average.

Below is the monthly cost of living in Poland:

Monthy Average Cost
Renting	80 – 150 EUR
Food	100 – 150 EUR
Traveling in the big city	15 – 20 EUR
Phone, Internet, TV	20 – 30 EUR
School supplies	30 – 50 EUR
Other expenses (entertainment)	70 – 100 EUR
Examples
Bread	0.8 EUR
Milk (1 liter)	0.7 EUR

There are usually Polish-Polish parties. A normal student party usually starts at 8 or 9 pm. Whether it's male or female, people will start drinking beer and talk, for 10 or 11 hours, vodka will be the main dish (a familiar Polish drink). People pour into the street at 12 or 1 pm to go to the dance floor or pubs. The fun usually lasts till dawn and everyone is drunk until the next afternoon.

Thus, the international students can be completely relaxed and carefree which will partially forget the surprise when they first came to Poland.
