As stated before, a few colleges such as Dhofar University in Salalah provide <strong>on-campus accommodation at an affordable rate or free of charge to students.<\/strong> So, if you\u2019re planning to study in Oman, exploring hostel options provided by universities could be a great option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Scholarship Opportunities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholarship opportunities can significantly reduce the overall cost of living in Oman by lowering tuition fees.
