LIVING CONDITIONS IN MACEDONIA
Buses are the main means of transport preferred in Macedonia. Railway transport is not as developed as in other European countries, but you can travel easily by bus. Since Macedonia is a relatively small country, travel within and between cities is quite comfortable and easy. As in other Balkan cities, there are various accommodation options in Macedonia that appeal to every budget. For example, in the capital Skopje, the important sights are within walking distance of each other, so staying in the city is quite comfortable. For students coming 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 with Türkiye, students who go from Türkiye to Macedonia to study at university generally prefer the option of renting a home. Rents vary between 250 and 350 Euro per month.
