Many Cypriot students are preparing suitcases for Greece after the announcement of the admission bases in universities and technical institutes by the Greek Ministry of Education, Research and Religions.

Specifically, prices go up when the apartment is newly built, furnished, on a high floor, renovated and within walking distance of public transport stops or the school.

What to watch
Speaking to SigmaLive, students from Athens and Thessaloniki who have a very good knowledge of the prices and conditions prevailing in the market, advise new entrants to prefer "good and not bad areas", to avoid ground floor apartments, to always check their condition before agreeing to rent and avoid working with brokers, as one of the rents they pay as collateral when signing the contract is intended for them, raising the cost.
