Prices are lower than in France but just because this is less expensive, I took advantage of that to travel a lot (to Poland, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia of course) and to go aout almost every night, which I don't do in France.

Having a clean room, bathroom and kitchen is your own responsibility. There is a great night-life in B'lava so you won't spend much time in your room.
