For international students that select Bangladesh as their study destination, the low cost of living is a big advantage. Whether on or off campus, the total cost of housing is relatively affordable. Students will be relieved to find that Dhaka is one of the least expensive cities in the world to live in, even if the real cost of living will vary based on where you reside and your lifestyle. Most students in Bangladesh can live quite comfortably on a monthly budget of $300 US. Your estimated expenses for food and housekeeping range from $150 to $225 USD. This is based on three meals costing (US$5-7.50) per day. Naturally, the cost will be lower if you plan ahead and share the expenses with your friends. At food carts or coffee shops, local fare like rice and noodles costs between (US$0.5-2.50). A mid-range restaurant will charge between US$2.5 and $5 for dinner. Some students may not need to commute to and from classes if they live on or close to campus. On the other hand, alternative forms of travel can run you (US$ 10–20) every month. The mobile phone plans in Bangladesh are extremely affordable. Your use and the promotional bundle you choose will affect how much you spend. Each month, the typical student may pay anywhere from $3.50 to $10.50. 

Every semester, you should budget about (US$12.50–25) for books and stationery, though this might vary widely based on the course you have chosen as well as the volume and type of work you have on your schedule. Your lifestyle is the main factor in determining your monthly personal expenses. However, it is anticipated that the price will range from $25 to $50.
