The cost of living for a medical student in the Philippines can vary based on several factors, including the city or region, lifestyle choices, and personal spending habits. However, I can provide you with a general estimate of the average monthly expenses for a medical student in the Philippines:

Accommodation:

On-campus dormitory or shared apartment: PHP 5,000 - PHP 15,000
Private apartment or boarding house: PHP 10,000 - PHP 25,000
Utilities (electricity, water, heating, cooling, garbage):

PHP 3,000 - PHP 5,000
Food:

Monthly grocery bill: PHP 5,000 - PHP 10,000
Dining out or ordering food: PHP 3,000 - PHP 6,000

Public transportation (bus, jeepney, etc.): PHP 2,000 - PHP 4,000
Personal transportation (fuel, maintenance): PHP 2,000 - PHP 5,000
Books and Supplies:

Miscellaneous/Personal Expenses:

Entertainment, communication, personal care: PHP 3,000 - PHP 6,000
Total Estimated Monthly Cost: PHP 25,000 - PHP 70,000

Few colleges like Uv Gullas College of Medicine and Davao Medical School Foundation provide in-campus accommodation with much cheaper food for foreign students.

Remember that these are rough estimates, and actual expenses can vary. Additionally, tuition and other academic fees are not included in this estimate. It's essential to create a budget based on your specific circumstances and adjust it accordingly. The cost of living may be higher in major cities like Manila and Cebu compared to smaller towns or rural areas.
