Living and working
In comparison to other European countries, Poland is a relatively cheap place to live and study. Prices depend greatly on the city, but students can get by with about EUR 400 at their monthly disposal—average costs of student living range from EUR 425 up to EUR 900. Please remember that to be able to study in Poland, non-EU/EEA students have to possess sufficient means to cover the living costs.
