Coût de la vie à Cape Town pour les étudiants en anglais : une répartition mensuelle
Ce que coûte réellement un séjour en anglais de 3 à 12 mois à Cape Town par mois : frais de scolarité, hébergement, nourriture, transport et argent de poche.

The short answer
Excluant les frais de scolarité, un étudiant à Cape Town dépense généralement entre 700 et 1 100 USD par mois : un hébergement en famille d'accueil avec demi-pension coûte entre 450 et 700 USD, le transport entre 60 et 120 USD, les données mobiles environ 15 USD, et les dépenses sociales et personnelles entre 150 et 250 USD. Les frais de scolarité pour une semaine standard de 20 leçons ajoutent environ 900 à 1 400 USD par mois selon l'école. Ce total est significativement inférieur à des séjours comparables en Irlande ou au Royaume-Uni.

Where the money goes
Accommodation is the biggest variable. A homestay with breakfast and dinner is usually the cheapest all-in option and removes the cost and risk of daily food shopping. A shared apartment looks cheaper on paper but adds groceries, utilities, deposits and furniture.
Transport depends entirely on the suburb. Students in Sea Point or Green Point walk to class; students in Constantia will spend more on shuttles and e-hailing.

Frequently asked questions
How much spending money per month?
USD 150-250 covers a normal social life for a student; USD 350+ if they travel most weekends.
How do exchange rates affect the budget?
The rand has historically made South Africa competitive for students arriving with dollars, euros or similarly strong currencies. Rates move, so compare complete quotes in one currency before booking.
