Belgrade is the largest and usually highest-cost student market. Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac offer major universities with different rent, transport and campus patterns; budget in RSD.

Use current local evidence

Ask the institution for current housing guidance and compare recurring prices close to the intended start date; general cost estimates age quickly.
