Budgeting in Poland
Warsaw is usually the largest and highest-cost academic market, while Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk, Łódź and Lublin have different housing and transport conditions. Build the working budget in PLN.
Budget in local currency
Build your working budget in PLN and include deposits, utilities, local transport, food, phone service and insurance.
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.
