Living and studying in Miri can be a

rewarding, exciting and challenging

experience. Almost everything you will

need is available at affordable prices. We

suggest you plan your living

requirements so that you can make the

most of your experience.

Your living expenses will depend largely

on your tastes, interests and financial

position.

You should plan a budget according to

your needs, but make sure it is flexible

enough to allow for changes.

If you plan to buy a car, make sure you

consider additional expenses such as

petrol, insurance, road tax, driver’s licence

and maintenance costs. Rental cars are

available for long-term hire, but the cost

could be substantial.
