There is no doubt that Uzbekistan is a great place to enjoy a quality education and a high quality of life. Uzbekistan offers excellent prices for living expenses and tuition costs comparable to other neighboring countries.

An average international student here will spend about 400-500 USD a month on accommodation, food, clothing, entertainment, transportation, and telephone costs. Books and administrative fees are approximately USD 100-150 per semester. Of course, remember that this price depends on your location, lifestyle, and degree course you attend. 

For those who study there, the cost of living in Uzbekistan would vary, as their lifestyles are distinct and their daily lives differ. Generally speaking, the prices can be relatively low compared to many other destinations, and what’s even more important, they are declining in recent years making Uzbekistan a perfect study abroad destination for most prospects.

When it comes to food, the prices are affordable, but only for those items that are produced in the country itself and they can be found at the local stores. Imported products are available, but they are far way expensive. Dining out is always attractive and students like it, as restaurant meals are not expensive for those who can afford them in more developed countries.

Tashkent has a four-line metro built in 1977. Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are currently the only two countries in Central Asia with a subway system. It is promoted as one of the cleanest systems in the former Soviet Union. The stations are exceedingly ornate. There are government-operated trams and buses running across the city. There are also many taxis, registered and unregistered. Uzbekistan has plants that produce modern cars. Train links connect many towns in Uzbekistan, as well as neighboring former republics of the Soviet Union. Uzbekistan launched the first high-speed railway in Central Asia in September 2011 between Tashkent and Samarqand.
