Internationalization
Institutions of higher education have made internationalization a priority. The
Ministry of Education and Research of Estonia and the Archimedes Foundation
lead the efforts to increase mobility of scholars and research within and outside
of Europe. The Archimedes Foundation is an independent body established by the
Estonian government in 1997 with the objective to coordinate and implement
international and national projects for training, education, research, technological
development, and innovation.

COST OF LIVING
Living costs in Estonia are very affordable and are considered to be lower than in
most other European countries. General feedback from foreigners who have
spent some time here is that living conditions are similar to those in Western
Europe. Cost of living is usually dependent upon the student's accommodation
choices, lifestyle, and spending patterns. On 1 January 2011, Estonia changed over
to the euro (EUR, €), the single European currency.
ACCOMMODATION
Estonian universities provide accommodation in modern student dormitories,
where students can comfortably live, relax and study during they stay.
Dormitories are usually based on a "box system" – a furnished apartment with
two rooms for four people, with a shared kitchen and a bathroom. Student
accommodation prices in Estonia start from €100 per month in student
dormitories. Some universities have student dormitories with single, double and
triple rooms. On average, the prices range from about €100 for a place in a
double room in the residence hall to €180-€450 or more for a private apartment.
