What changes the ranking

• Rent. A dorm in Toruń or Gliwice starts at PLN 410–440 a month; in Wrocław at PLN 740. Over three years, rent can outweigh a tuition gap of a few thousand złoty.
• The University of Warsaw's low fee comes with Warsaw rents, the highest in Poland.
• Your field. The cheapest programme is rarely the one you want; look at the fee for your subject.
• Jobs. Cheaper cities have fewer English-speaking part-time jobs.

What not to save on

A private university that is cheap but only has a short approval on the MSWiA register can cost you your right to work. Read working while studying before choosing on price alone.
