Budgeting in Albania
Tirana generally has the widest housing and transport choice, while Durrës, Shkodër and Vlorë can have different seasonal rental markets. Build the budget in ALL even when tuition is quoted in EUR.
Budget in local currency
Build your working budget in ALL and include deposits, utilities, local transport, food, phone service and insurance.
Use current local evidence
Ask the institution for current housing guidance and compare recurring prices close to the intended start date; general cost estimates age quickly.
