The apartment and travel costs are covered in the fellowship though living expenses are not. The cost of living is relatively low in Georgia and students in the past have been able to live comfortably on relatively little. Travel Information Georgia has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the region from mountains to plains to coasts. Traveling throughout the country is easy although Russian or Georgian is very useful if traveling outside of Tbilisi. They are the main source of transportation, reliable, safe, and very inexpensive.
Private taxis are also available for hire for a relatively low rate.
The fellows traveled extensively throughout Georgia almost every weekend. Two fellows also traveled to Batumi for two days, a port and resort city on the Black Sea about 10 miles from the Turkish border. Three fellows traveled to Baku for three days, the capital city of Azerbaijan. 1999 Fellowship Living Arrangements - There were seven Fellows in 1999, six of whom shared a spacious apartment in Tbilisi. The apartment was large enough to allow each Fellow to have his or her own walk-through bedroom.
