Are you a student planning on living in Fiji? Although Fiji is one of the least visited countries in the Oceania region, it has indeed many beautiful spots to discover. Cost of living in Fiji, prices, and what it is like to live for a student, quality of life, and compare the cost of living for students as at the current date.
Transport
The cost is average for items such as fuel, car hire, public transport, vehicle purchase, and maintenance. The average price over the last year for the highest available octane petrol/gasoline (1L) is 1.20 Pound.
Restaurants Meal Out and Hotels
The cost is low for items such as hotel daily room rates, meals, and beverages in a restaurant, and take away food and beverages. The average cappuccino price is 2.10 Pound, coke (330ml) 0.50 Pound, burger meal (international franchise or similar) 6.50 Pound, and a mid-range international restaurant meal for 2 is 18.00 Pound.
Groceries
Like in most North African countries, the best places to purchase anything are the local markets, called souks. Here, visitors will find every product imaginable, from painstakingly made souvenirs to animal skins. Certain items are native to the country and should therefore not be passed on, such as grass and straw products, carved wooden statues and masks, copper and brass utensils, silver and gold jewelry, and perhaps most known, semi-precious stones like amber. These have relative average pricing as any where across America!
Accommodation costs
The country is a rather small nation, so you really can travel it all around at once if you are not a lazy one. If you have difficulties deciding which city in the country you should visit in the first place, here are three options to choose from: Juba, Khartoum, and Bur Fiji. These are the most popular cities among visitors here! Costs are relative and may stagger around 200 to 300 pounds per month depending on your location!
Monthly Budget
Students interested in simple living should budget between 500 Pound or less monthly. Generally, this budget allows for bus rides and the occasional taxi, big trips to the marketplace, and a few restaurant meals each month. While you can choose to live in relative luxury, employing full-time housekeepers, commuting by car, enjoying exquisite homes, and consuming imported goods such as lifestyles can easily amount to 1200Pound or more monthly.
