LIVING CONDITIONS IN MACEDONIA
The bus is the foremost preferred means of transport in Macedonia. Railways are not as developed as in other European countries, but you can travel comfortably by bus. Since Macedonia is a relatively small country, both urban and intercity travel are quite comfortable and easy. As in other Balkan cities, Macedonia has a variety of accommodation options appealing to every budget. For example, in the capital Skopje, the important points are within walking distance of each other, so staying in the city is quite comfortable. For students who come to Macedonia for education, there are plenty of options such as rooms for rent and apartments. Students can also choose student dormitories for accommodation. However, since rents are very low, especially compared to our country, students who go from our country to Macedonia to study at university generally prefer renting. Rents vary between 800 and 1200 Turkish Lira per month.
