Other costs – food, accommodation, health insurance, internal transport and air tickets – are at the students’ expense. The costs incurred by the student over a ten-month period, excluding airfare, are estimated at approximately 2,350,000 FCFA (3582.55€):

450,000 FCFA (686.02 €) for transport

For a student residing in Yopougon, the common means of travel at ARSTM is the use of communal taxis, commonly called “woro-woro”. Depending on the residential area, the daily cost of the municipal taxi will vary between 700 and 1200 FCFA. For a student residing outside the municipality of Yopougon, the easiest way remains the interurban taxi or the counter taxi with higher financial implications.
