Without rent coverage, a student can expect to spend around $365 in necessities such as groceries, and other daily needs. Rent along costs around $50 to $145 for an apartment. When a rent for a house can go towards $92 to $1,000 depending on where the house is located.
Annual Tuition Costs
Students can work towards a full year academic degree that would only cost them a total of $330 USD for the entire year. This is the base average for undergraduate courses and programs. After students reach their Master’s level, they can expect to pay up to $550 or up to $650 but it depends on what subject field they are working towards. If the subject field needs more available resources that subject will ultimately cost the student more in tuition costs.
Main Languages Spoken in Afghanistan
The main languages in Afghanistan are Pashto and Persian/Dari. There are many languages spoken throughout the country that students will come in contact with. A few other languages commonly spoken include Uzbek, Turkmen, Balochi, Farsi, and a few of these languages do incorporate Arabic letters. English is not common here, and students that only know English or know English as a second language would do much better to learn Pashto or Dari.
