- Monthly living cost (country-level)
- No official monthly living-cost figure was found. Published official components: university residence 15 USD per month; university catering listed as '1.20 DZD' per meal (as printed on the fee PDF; the unit looks like a typo and was not verified); transport at the same rate as Algerian students; urban rent for a 3-room apartment (about 65 m2) 112-450 USD per month depending on the city (reference only). The 2026 press article cites about 180 USD per year for accommodation, which is inconsistent with 15 USD/month and is not used.Source
