Accommodation in Slovenia
Student halls are cheap but limited, so apply early. Subsidised student meals also keep daily costs low.
Halls in Ljubljana often cost around €110–200 a month with costs included, and beds are usually given first come, first served.
Sharing a two- or three-bedroom flat with other students is the usual way to cut costs.
Prices depend on the city, the location and the size of the room, and Ljubljana is the most expensive.
Where to look
Student residence halls, your university’s international office, student organisations, and rental listing sites such as realestate-slovenia.info.

Before you pay or move
- Get the contract in writing and read the rent, deposit, notice period and which utilities are included.
- See the room in person or on a live video call before you send any money.
- Ask how much the deposit is and when it is returned.
- Keep your admission letter and a passport copy ready, because housing offices and landlords ask for them.
- Book a short stay for your first nights in case your room is not ready.
