Accommodation for Erasmus Students in Bucharest

In terms of accommodation, it’s more convenient to choose a place next to the university where you are going to study. Mornings are tough, especially after a wild weekend, so better save some precious time in the morning, without needing to spend more than a half-hour to get to classes. You have two options: either you find a place only for you – if that’s the case, be ready to spend 300 €, depending on the area or, more conveniently and fun, rent a 3-4 rooms apartment and share it with other Erasmus students. After all, that’s the Erasmus spirit! For a 4 rooms apartment, fully and modern furnished, you’ll pay around 1000 €, so 250 €/person and get to live in a central location, enjoying all the best things this city has to offer. Assuming that you are not into cooking, do not worry, there are plenty of delivery or take over places covering all international cuisine and fast food also.
