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).

University of Nis
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
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.
