It became my main specialty, so that during this period I obtained nearly 1200 successful academic admissions with high scholarships for students from Cyprus universities.

Studying in Cyprus – dormitories
| A suggestion based on experience | If you are married or you are planning to study in Cyprus with your friend, the dormitory is not very affordable for you. Because the hostel charges the members of each person who lives there. But this is not the case with renting a residential house and you only pay one rent and the whole family can live there. Also, due to the small space of the dormitory, it may make your partner tired. But if you are only one person, the dormitory is definitely more economical for you. |
