🛈 About Georgia
Georgia is a hidden gem for international students, offering European-standard education at a fraction of the cost. The country is famous for its safe environment, rich history, and hospitable culture. Georgian degrees, especially in Medicine (MBBS/MD) and Business, are globally recognized and follow the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) standards.
Located in the Caucasus region, Georgia is a bridge between East and West. It is one of the safest countries in the world, making it an ideal choice for parents and students from Pakistan.
💰 Cost of Living
Georgia is exceptionally affordable compared to Western Europe and North America. Students can live comfortably on a budget of $400 to $600 per month.
Accommodation:
University Dormitory: $150 – $250 per month.
Private Shared Apartment: $250 – $400 per month (Tbilisi).
Food & Groceries: $100 – $200 per month.
Transport: $10 – $20 per month (Students get massive discounts on the Metro and Yellow Buses using their student card).
🌎 Climate & Language of Georgia
Georgia has a diverse climate. The coastal areas (like Batumi) are humid and subtropical, while the interior and mountains see colder winters with snow. In Tbilisi, summers are warm and sunny (25°C to 33°C), and winters are cool but manageable (0°C to 8°C).
Georgian is the official language, which has its own unique alphabet. However, the majority of international programs are taught entirely in English. Most young people and professionals in major cities speak English fluently, though learning basic Georgian is very helpful for a richer cultural experience.
