Deepen budget and academic-life: sample monthly budget table + student-rights duration

student-budget gains an illustrative monthly budget table (per-category ranges, ~EUR455-850
total) tied to the EUR484.88 means minimum. academic-life gains a section on what student
status grants and how long the rights last (one programme per level, n+1+1 extensions).

                 <p>The Slovenian academic year generally runs from 1 October to 30 September, but teaching and exam periods differ between universities and faculties, so always save your own calendar. A standard full-time year usually represents 60 ECTS, and individual courses carry credits based on expected workload.</p>

+
+                <p>Almost every student benefit in this guide, subsidised meals, subsidised transport, student work through a napotnica, and student housing, depends on having active student status. Under Slovenian law you hold these rights for one study programme per level (one bachelor, one master), and only while you are not regularly employed, not running a registered activity, not on the unemployment register, and not a company or institute director.</p>
+
+                <p>The standard duration is the length of the programme, but it can extend: normally one extra year for repeating a year or for absolvent status, a further year for justified reasons such as health or social circumstances, and one extra year per child born during study. You may also change programme or direction once per level and may study two programmes in parallel after passing the first year. Losing status, for example by deregistering or running out of these rights, removes the benefits that depend on it, so plan any change carefully. The renewal, change, and graduation page explains repeats, transfers, and gap years in detail.</p>

                 <p>Ljubljana, Maribor, Koper, Nova Gorica, and Celje have different housing markets, and the biggest variable is normally accommodation. A University of Ljubljana faculty currently gives a broad student-living estimate of €500 to €800 per month, depending strongly on housing and lifestyle. Treat this as a rough planning range, not a guaranteed minimum, and build separate ranges for each city.</p>

It assumes a shared private room or an economic dormitory place, cooking most meals with the meal subsidy helping, and a national transport ticket.</p>
