Experience in Dhaka, Bangladesh by Hasan

What is it like to live in Dhaka? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Though I am living Dhaka, I do not like this city at all. It is a very densely populated city, and a lot of pollutions are going on. I would never recommend anyone to come to this city. The city is like hell.

What is the student lifestyle like in Dhaka?

It is so stressful but energetic

How much does it cost to live in Dhaka?

Depends on lifestyle. Living cost for the students living in a hostel is €70-€80. But if you are living a standard and easy student life then minimum of €150 will be needed for that.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Dhaka? Is there any advice you can give?

I would not say it is easy, but everybody finds their accommodation within the required time. Students from the same institution could be a better option for fining accommodation.
