Student apartments in Niš

There are a variety of apartments available in this Serbian city, that comply with different needs and budgets. They can vary from compact studio flats, ideal for those seeking privacy, to even larger apartments shared with other students, which is a great way to socialise and share expenses.

In terms of location, students can choose between living in the lively city centre, where the rent may be a little higher but you are close to cafes, shops and nightlife, or in quieter and more affordable neighbourhoods on the outskirts of the city. However, keep in mind that the cost of accommodation in Niš is usually much more affordable than in other European cities.

Student rooms for rent in Niš

In this city, you will find both single rooms and shared rooms between two people. The latter are usually the most affordable, although they give less possibility of having privacy. The rooms are usually part of private shared apartments since student residences are not very common in Niš. Generally, these floors are functionally furnished with basic amenities such as a bed, desk, closet and chair for each student.

With regards to the room prices, you have to pay close attention to whether the one that appears in the advertisement includes the service expenses (water, electricity, internet, etc.). If not, you will have to add an additional expense at the end of each month to pay for it. We estimate that this extra expense may be in a range between €30-150 per month in total, depending on the number of people living there. In addition, we tell you that, in some cases, the room characteristics that are already included in the price may include services such as cleaning or even some meals.
