Students arriving in Jordan would obviously like to know what costs are going to be involved. In general, you can use the broad range of $850 to $1600 per month for all living expenses (housing, food, city transit). If you eat out for two meat-meals a day, you can expect to pay about $250 to $350 per month. If you cook, the monthly cost can drop significantly, to perhaps even less than $200 per person.
