Hello everyone,

I am an international student and I have recently been admitted to the University of North Texas for Fall 2026. I wanted to ask about the average cost of living near UNT.

Could you please share an estimate of:

Monthly rent (especially for a single room in a shared apartment)

Food and groceries

Utilities and other daily expenses

Also, how much should I budget per month as a student?

I would really appreciate any suggestions or advice from current students or alumni regarding:

Affordable housing options or areas to look for

Ways to manage expenses as a student

Common mistakes to avoid when renting or budgeting

Thank you so much in advance!
