Accommodation FAQs

There is a good selection of private accommodation available to students; therefore students can be sure that they will be able to secure an apartment before their course begins. Accommodation expenses both in Thessaloniki and in Athens vary according to the area, condition of flat, facilities, etc. In Thessaloniki rents for non-furnished flats of one room, usually start from 300€. In Athens expect €400–800/month for studios or shared-room arrangements, depending on location and amenities. Nevertheless, students usually choose to share a flat, which typically costs less per person than renting alone. Other fixed expenses may amount up to 150-200 Euros per month, approximately - including electricity, heating, water and condominium charges (building maintenance). In total, as a result of students' calculations, the average cost of living for one month (including all regular expenses) is around 700 - 1000 euros.

You should aim to visit the location of your studies some time before the commencement of the course, so that there is time to see available accommodation.

Usually it takes two to five days to find an apartment suitable to your needs.

Usually there is an adequate number of available flats both in the centre of the city and in areas around. However, since Thessaloniki and Athens are popular student destinations, you are advised to secure accommodation as soon as possible, if you wish to find accommodation near the campus. Students though can have the advantage of the local transportation and get a lower cost accommodation situated in a small distance from the campus.

All our campuses are easily accessible via public buses.

When you choose a flat in Thessaloniki, the next step is to sign the rental contract, which typically requires paying one month’s rent in advance, along with a security deposit equal to one month’s rent. The deposit is refundable at the end of the lease, provided the apartment is returned in good condition. If you found the flat through a real estate agency, you will also need to pay a service fee—this is usually equivalent to one month’s rent plus VAT. Always make sure to receive a written lease agreement, confirm what is included in the rent (e.g. utilities or building fees), and check that the contract is properly registered with the Greek tax authority, especially if you need it for residence documentation.
