Student accommodation, flats and rooms for rent in Podgorica

Are you considering the capital of Montenegro for your exchange? If so, you'll want to know the most important details to consider while looking for student accommodation in Podgorica.

During your stay in the city, students can immerse themselves in Montenegrin culture through festivals, cultural events and local cuisine, which reflect the diversity of influences in the region. In addition, one of the biggest advantages of choosing Podgorica as an Erasmus destination is that it serves as a convenient starting point for exploring the natural beauty of Montenegro, with easy access to places such as Lake Skadar, the Adriatic coast and stunning mountains.

Student apartments for rent in Podgorica

In the capital of Montenegro, you’ll find both studio apartments and apartments with one room, two rooms, or even more, to share between several students. Generally, the cost of a studio apartment (or one room) is usually in the range between 200-300 € per month, and the monthly price of an apartment with two rooms to share starts from 250 € onwards. One key thing is that you have to pay attention to the characteristics of each one, since in some cases the apartments are not furnished and you have to incur an extra cost when you enter the apartment. Depending on how long you’re going to stay, this isn’t worth it!

Student rooms for rent in Podgorica

This is usually the preferred housing alternative for exchange students for two reasons:

First, the cost of monthly rent is much cheaper than renting an entire apartment. For example, the monthly cost of living in a single room in a shared apartment usually ranges from 80€ onwards, while that of a shared room in a student hall can cost around 25€ per month.

Secondly, living in a room that’s part of a shared apartment allows you to live with other students who are in the same situation as you and who probably come from different parts of the world. This will enrich your experience a lot, as you’ll be able to learn about other cultures and ways of life. In addition, this will certainly make you feel less alone when you arrive!
