The annual cost of living depends on the student's lifestyle and type of accommodation, but Rp. 2.350.000 (US$253) per month should generously cover all living expenses (not including tuition fees).

Students should also have additional funds to pay for initial establishment costs, textbooks, equipment, incidentals, local transport, temporary accommodation, and entertainment.

It is also important that you allow for transport costs of approximately Rp. 35.000 (US$4) per week if you live off campus. Include extra costs in your budget, if you intend to do some traveling to places like Bandung, Bali or Sumatra while you are in Indonesia.
