Sudan’s published price level was 23% of the U.S. level in 2023. That makes everyday spending lower than in the United States, but the total cost for a student still depends on the costs that are not captured by that measure.
Price level, against the United States
23%
A basket of goods costing $100 in the United States costs about $23 in Sudan, at market exchange rates. This is a whole-economy average from the World Bank (2023), not a student budget — rent near a university and a student's own habits move it a long way in both directions.
The price level is a broad comparison of overall prices with the United States. It is useful for a quick sense of scale, but it does not give a student budget by itself, so you still need to plan carefully around the costs that affect you most.
For students, the biggest budget pressure usually comes from the items that are hardest to generalize: housing, food, transport, and study-related expenses. A low overall price level can still leave room for expenses to shift a budget quickly if one of those items is higher than expected.
Sudan has 35 universities, including Al-Zaiem Al-Azhari University, Ahfad University for Women, Bakht Er-Ruda University, Blue Nile University, Dalanj University, and University of El Imam El Mahdi University. If you are comparing options, the overall price level can help frame the country, but the study choice should still be judged on your own spending pattern.
The GDP per capita, measured in PPP terms, was 3,249 USD. For a student deciding whether to move to Sudan, the key takeaway is that everyday prices are below U.S. levels, while the final cost depends on the mix of local expenses you face.
