Student accommodation in Kigali
Neighbourhoods, monthly rent, deposits and getting around the hills.
01Know your campus first
Institutions in Kigali can have more than one campus. Confirm where your classes will be before you choose a neighbourhood.
02Monthly rent and deposits
Rent in Kigali is usually paid monthly, often with a deposit. Agree the deposit amount, the notice period and how the deposit will be returned, in writing.
03Getting around
Kigali is hilly. A place that looks close on a map can mean a steep climb. Check moto and bus routes and try the journey before committing.
