Living in St. Petersburg is less expensive than, say, in Moscow or most of major European cities. However, you should have a clear understanding of major everyday expenses you might have while studying here. The cost of living in St. Petersburg depends solely on individual needs.
- The average cost of a single trip by public transport within the city is 60 rubles.
- You will be expected to pay for the dormitory an average of RUR 5,500 per month (prices vary according to the dorm).
- The average rent for a studio or a one-bedroom apartment is RUR 25 000 per month.
- Eating at university’s canteens would cost about RUR 150-300 a meal. However, our dorm rooms count with kitchen spaces, which could contribute to economize money.
