It will depend on many factors and on your lifestyle. If you are Erasmus, money probably is scarce, but one of the advantages of living in C\u00f3rdoba is that you can spend a year without suffering too much by this reason. But, honestly, saving some money won&#8217;t be very easy anyway:)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will spend more or less depending on the month, but C\u00f3rdoba is not an expensive city. Let&#8217;s calculate how much money would you need monthly to make ends meet without problems, or at least by covering the basic expenses for a Erasmus.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>ERASMUS IN C\u00d3RDOBA COST OF LIVING (Per person sharing a flat with 3 people):<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.interasmundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/gastos-erasmus-en-cordoba.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26937 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interasmundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/gastos-erasmus-en-cordoba-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"67653581 - monthly expenses planning checklist with receipts, wallet and calculator. flat style vector icon illustration.\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rent a room: between 160\u20ac and 285\u20ac per month.<br \/>\nElectricity monthly invoice: between 15\u20ac and 25\u20ac per month (depending on the season!)<br \/>\nWater monthly invoice: between 10\u20ac and 15\u20ac per month<br \/>\nInternet: around 12\u20ac per month<br \/>\nButane gas bottle: 5\u20ac (it normally lasts 2 weeks)<br \/>\nNatural gas invoice: between 5\u20ac and 15\u20ac per month<br \/>\nMobile device: from 11\u20ac per month<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Up to now, you would spend between 218\u20ac and 368\u20ac, not including transport and food expenses. It will depend on the regularity on which you take the bus or on how much you eat, drink, go out and participate in Erasmus getaways. To get an idea:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bus ticket: 1,30\u20ac (with <a href=\"https:\/\/interasmundo.com\/en\/eventos-erasmus-cordoba\/the-bonobus-must-for-your-erasmus-in-cordoba\/\"><strong>Bonob\u00fas<\/strong><\/a>:\u00a00\u201973\u20ac)<br \/>\nBeer or soft drink: 1,20\u20ac<br \/>\nCoffee: 1,20\u20ac<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Add to it around 100\u20ac or 200\u20ac more per month (you will spend totally between 320\u20ac and 560\u20ac). Even then, the medium average of monthly Erasmus expenses will be less than in any other European city. As we said before, C\u00f3rdoba is a cheap city. Below we are going to explain in more detail the different expenses to get an idea of how much will you need during your Erasmus year.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Rental costs: <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The common practice is\u00a0<strong>to share a flat.<\/strong> You will have a more complete Erasmus experience and you will spend less money. The price will depend on the <a href=\"https:\/\/interasmundo.com\/en\/eventos-erasmus-cordoba\/best-places-to-live-during-your-erasmus-in-cordoba\/\"><strong>neighbourhood or district in C\u00f3rdoba<\/strong><\/a>, the condition of the flat and its facilities, the room size and the number of people with whom you will be sharing it. But normally the price won&#8217;t be higher than 285\u20ac. The average price is around 225\u20ac, not including the bills.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Transport:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interasmundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/erasmus-rent-cordoba.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26648 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interasmundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/erasmus-rent-cordoba-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"erasmus-rent-cordoba\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can take a look to the <a href=\"https:\/\/interasmundo.com\/en\/eventos-erasmus-cordoba\/erasmus-bus-routes-and-schedules-from-cordoba-to-rabanales\/\"><strong>\u201cTransport\u201d<\/strong><\/a> post, where we talk about the way to move around C\u00f3rdoba and its prices, even though most of the time you may walk. C\u00f3rdoba is not so big and distances are short. Besides, if you choose a neighbourhood like Ciudad Jard\u00edn or Vallellano, which are the most popular among the Erasmus students, the city center is just a stone&#8217;s throw away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you buy a\u00a0<a href=\"\/?p=3983\"><strong>bonob\u00fas<\/strong> <\/a>to move around by bus, you may save a lot of money. When buying if for the first time you will have to pay 1\u20ac for the card and to do a minimum recharge of 5\u20ac. Using it you won&#8217;t spend more than 30\u20ac in transport because each trip will only cost you 0,70\u20ac.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interasmundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/erasmus-cordoba-compras-supermercado.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26844 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interasmundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/erasmus-cordoba-compras-supermercado.jpg\" alt=\"erasmus-cordoba-compras-supermercado\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a><strong>Food:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is one of the most difficult expenses to calculate. Not all the people eats the same and it will also depend very much on the place where we buy and on what we buy. In Cordoba we have \u201cLidl\u201d supermarkets, the cheapest ones, but normally these are placed outside the city and probably you won&#8217;t have a car. The best option is the &#8220;D\u00eda&#8221; supermarket where you can find first quality products for a cheap price. The medium average of the expenses of a Erasmus student in food might range between 85\u20ac and 100\u20ac per month. This amount will depend very much on if you like to cook or not, because ready-cooked food is normally much more expensive.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mobile: <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately, Spain is one of the European countries in which you have to pay more for using the mobile device. Even though there are many operators, the prices among these are not so different. The cheapest one is Yoigo, that offers very good service and conditions. The cheapest option is to buy a <strong>prepaid card<\/strong>\u00a0and depending on the conditions that you contract, there are choices from 8\u20ac per month to what you will have to add the balance that you spend.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Going out:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interasmundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/salir-erasmus-cordoba.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26849 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interasmundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/salir-erasmus-cordoba-300x135.jpg\" alt=\"salir-erasmus-cordoba\" width=\"300\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They money that you spend will depend on your habits. How many times do you go out per month? How much do you use to spend when going out? To what places do you go out? Generally, <a href=\"https:\/\/interasmundo.com\/en\/eventos-erasmus-cordoba\/party-erasmus-cordoba-interasmundo\/\"><strong>nightclubs and pubs in C\u00f3rdoba<\/strong><\/a> don&#8217;t charge any money when you enter but there are some clubs in which you will have to pay for a drink at the entrance, although normally it only happens very late at night. Drinks normally cost around 7\u20ac at the disco and 5\u20ac at the bar, that compared with the prices in the main capitals of the world is not very much. Beer is normally the cheapest drink and costs approximately 1,20\u20ac and 3\u20ac per bottle.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">In conclusion&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you have seen, C\u00f3rdoba is not expensive. It depends more on the lifestyle you want to have during your Erasmus year. Our suggestion is to organize your month, doing a calculation of the fixed expenses and keep this money hidden in your drawer and imagine that is not there. You&#8217;ll avoid the temptation of spending more. If you organize well you even there will be months in which you might save some money that you can spend on a trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much will it cost living my Erasmus in C\u00f3rdoba?
