Accommodation

Room in South Ural State University’s own halls of residence, the rate the university quotes to international students

Utilities are included but wired internet is not — the university says students arrange that themselves for 300 to 600 rubles a month. A room is normally shared by two or three students. For comparison, SUSU puts a private flat in Chelyabinsk at 11,000 to 17,000 rubles a month.

Published by the university itself, not a live listings price. Actual cost depends on room type, availability and when you apply.
