How's the student atmosphere in Minsk?

In general, Belorussian students are very friendly and open to foreigners. They will introduce you to Belorussian culture and cuisine and invite you for nights out.

What's the cost of living in Minsk?

About 400 euros a month, maybe even less.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Minsk? Do you have any advice to give?

It's better to look for an apartment for rent through a real estate agency but you can also stay in a university residence, it costs much less than an apartment.

I don't recommend renting the room of an apartment where there's a owner because usually, these owners are elderly people who don't get along with young people.

Which places do you recommend to see in Minsk?

Especially the theatres, there's still a beautiful castle 30 km from Minsk in the villages of Nyasvizh and Mir.
