## Housing

Student dormitories are very cheap where available; the private market in Sofia runs roughly EUR 200 to 400 a room, less in Plovdiv, Varna and the smaller university cities. Bulgaria is one of the EU's cheapest places to rent, and the euro changeover has made price comparison straightforward.

A rental contract or notarised host declaration supports the residence file and the municipal address registration.
