Campus life
Life on Campus and in Novi Sad
A compact university city on the Danube, 55,000 students, and a campus organised so that arriving from abroad is straightforward.
The city
Why students choose Novi Sad
Novi Sad is the second city of Serbia, a former European Capital of Culture and the seat of a university tradition going back to 1960. It is small enough to cross by bicycle, safe at night, and inexpensive enough that a student can live comfortably on around 450 EUR a month.
The campus sits beside the Danube quay and the city park, fifteen minutes on foot from the old town square and the Petrovaradin fortress, and an hour by shuttle from Belgrade international airport.
