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