As you plan your international education, it’s important to consider what type of accommodation you will be most comfortable living in. There are several opportunities for students in Egypt.
You can opt between a host family, in a hostel, apartment, student halls, residential colleges, or private rental property. Remember, your choice of home can have a serious impact on your studies, health, and overall well-being.
While there can be a multitude of choices, getting the right one can make your study experience a fulfilling and smoother one.
Many students opt to live at the university or college (often referred to as ‘on campus’) or live with a local family when they first arrive. This allows you to become familiar with your new town and instantly have a network of people to support you.
Living with your friends in a rental property outside of the campus can be one of the most cost-saving options but this option does mean you’ll be living closely with other people. Here are some common house rules to help your new household run smoothly if you intend to study in Egypt.
Take note of…
- Cleaning up after cooking
- Refilling the toilet roll after it finishes
- Ensure you flush the toilet after each use
- Consult your housemate before bringing any friends over
- Consult your housemate before borrowing any items
- Billing - Who is in charge and how is the bill split
- Rules of using communal spaces (what should be left there, volume, etc)
Where to stay
There are many different types of accommodation for students in Egypt. At RocApply we know that accommodation is an essential component of an enjoyable study abroad. This is a good option for travelers and students who want freedom and independence.
The apartments in Egypt - with fully equipped kitchens and bathrooms - are typically furnished according to the Egyptian characteristics. You will have more independence and the opportunity to cook your meals. Single or double rooms are usually offered in the same apartments.
Cooking and chores are done by the students themselves. The apartments are generally without much supervision and are self-catering, but they are close to local amenities like cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, and bus stops.
If you are looking for a more independent lifestyle during your study and meet and interact with other foreign students, student residences/house options are ideal. A student residence can vary in size depending on location and availability too.
These residences usually accommodate students of all ages and nationalities in a house-type location. The student residences in Egypt usually offer shared kitchen facilities or cafeterias and allow you to practice your new language with fellow students even away from your classes. Normally there is a reception you can contact if you have any issues or questions.
