Yes, Alexandria is a good city to live in. You canenjoy every day joggingalong to its wonderful beach. Alex never sleeps. Most of markets and facilities open 24h.

Students live in the city centre. So, they can enjoy being near to the Alexandria university campuses which are very near to each others. On the other hand, University area are quiet in the night.
How much does it cost to live in Alexandria?
You can rent a very great flat with three rooms for 500$. Also, 300$ will be enough to have good living rate per month. So, student may pay 500$ per month or less.
Is it difficult to find accommodation in Alexandria? Is there any advice you can give?
It is difficult in summer, but my advice is to find an alexandrian friend to help you to find a good flat. I think living in private flat will be better than the student campus because the location of boys' student campus are not good. On the other hand, there are good student campus for girls in Elshatbi area
What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?
Fol&Falafel are very common and very cheap. Also, there are different kinds of food in many restuarants. However, if you prepare your food at home, you will pay only 100$ per month. However, you may pay the double rate if you prefer fas t meals
