ACCOMMODATION

Estonian universities provide accommodation in modern student dormitories, where students can comfortably live, relax and study during they stay. Dormitories are usually based on a "box system" – a furnished apartment with two rooms for four people, with a shared kitchen and a bathroom. Student accommodation prices in Estonia start from €100 per month in student dormitories. Some universities have student dormitories with single, double and triple rooms. On average, the prices range from about €100 for a place in a double room in the residence hall to €180-€450 or more for a private apartment.

COST OF LIVING

Living costs in Estonia are very affordable and are considered to be lower than in most other European countries. General feedback from foreigners who have spent some time here is that living conditions are similar to those in Western Europe. Cost of living is usually dependent upon the student's accommodation choices, lifestyle, and spending patterns. On 1 January 2011, Estonia changed over to the euro (EUR, €), the single European currency.

LIFESTYLE

The life-style of Estonians is directly linked to their character, the weather and different seasons. In winter Estonians tend to be more home- and work-centred, while summer is a time for active open-air activities and vacations in the countryside. In recent years Estonia has developed an excellent infrastructure of cultural, social and sporting facilities. Throughout the year there is a wide range of activities and events striving to meet and even

exceed expectations of local inhabitants and their international guests. Since regaining independence and a rise in living standards, there are more opportunities for travel and Estonians are eagerly seizing the chance to see the world.
