Good
- Closest to the theoretical faculties, a few minutes on foot
- The sea and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina are right by campus
Watch out
- Much of the district is university buildings, so fewer flats come up
- Many furnished flats here are pitched at international students and priced to match
Rent
Typical rent
in Shatby.
Each range holds the middle half of listings: the cheapest quarter and the dearest quarter are left out. Women’s housing usually costs a little more, often because of a supervisor and a return time.
