Can I manage living expenses by sharing accommodation with others to reduce costs in UAE?

Yes, sharing accommodation is a practical way to reduce living expenses in the UAE. Renting a room in a shared apartment usually costs AED 900 - 2,000/month, which is much lower than renting a private studio or one-bedroom place.

You’ll also save by splitting utility bills and other costs with roommates. Many students choose this option to keep expenses manageable. If you need help finding shared accommodation that fits your budget, your Leap counsellor can assist.
