University of Nis

During my bachelors studies in Leskovac I had a perfect experience. However, faculty of philosophy in Nis would be a mediocre experience, purely because most of the professors were not interested in cooperating with the students.

University of Nis

Professors in Nis offer a lot of theoretical knowledge, studing is cheap but there are not enough opportunities for practical learning.

Housing services

Unfortunately, international students cannot stay in halls of residence/dormitories in Niš.

International students can stay in hostels or they can opt for private rental accommodation.

Private Rental Accommodation

Although more expensive, private accommodation is the most convenient yet affordable solution for the majority of students. The rent for a studio is between 80 and 120 Euros per month, whereas a bigger flat may cost between 130 and 200 Euros. The rent does not include utilities (heating, electricity, cable TV, the Internet, water, garbage disposal, etc.), which range from 30 to 150 EUR per month, depending primarily on the size of the flat, the type of heating and the number of occupants).

Library services

Each faculty has its own well-equipped library and its own reading room.

The University of Niš Central Library is in the Rectorate building.

The library collections contain 95.000 books and 1.380 scientific journals in more than 70.000 volumes, a collection of 5.100 dissertations defended at the University of Niš.

Medical services

All international students are required to have medical insurance (either from their home country or one purchased in Serbia). There are many private clinics Niš where you can also go (please, read the terms of your insurance carefully, since you may qualify for reimbursement, in which case you should collect all bills).

Campus life

The facilities that the University of Niš offers to both domestic and international students are: a student infirmary, four halls of residence, three student canteens and a library at each of the faculties, in addition to the central library.

Student clubs
