Every year a great number of foreign students come to Petrozavodsk and stay here for a couple of weeks.

First of all you might be interested in how much you’ll have to spend on food/nutrition. You can either choose to cook all the food yourself or to have your daily meals at a café.

Bread costs about 30 rubles, milk also about 30 rubles, the average cheese price is 150-250 rubles for a kilo, sausages cost from 80 rubles and more.
