Living and accommodation costs

Russia is currently ranked number 75 in a list of the highest cost of living on the planet. This is, of course, relatively low, meaning that students looking to study in the country will be able to stretch their savings further here than in other top destinations.

Rent in most major cities can cost an average of $550 for a 1-bedroom apartment, with basic utilities coming in at around $95 a month, depending on which season it is. Food is known to be incredibly inexpensive, as is nightlife.
