Integrate v3 master: accommodation, arrival, admin, meals, transport (Batch 2)

Rewrites the six living/arrival/benefits pages (student-accommodation,
prepare-to-move, arrival-checklist, administrative-basics, student-meals,
student-transport) to the deeper v3 English master, trilingual, with
hero placeholders and Sources sections. Transport states subsidy applies
regardless of distance (old 2 km rule explicitly retired); meals keep the
current €5.19; dorm eligibility distinction and scam/lease checklists added.

<p>Highest housing pressure. Start early. Verify transport to the faculty rather than insisting on the centre. Useful routes: private rental, faculty-supported boarding-home enquiries, non-subsidised dijaški dom places where available, and the free m2 room-brokerage at Študentska svetovalnica.</p>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Maribor</h3>
<p>Official dormitories publish economic prices for foreign students. Private options may be easier than Ljubljana, but still verify the contract and location.</p>
<p>Študentski domovi UM publish economic or market prices for foreign students. Check room type, building, deposit, summer conditions, and whether the address can be registered.</p>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Koper and Primorska</h3>
<p>Coastal seasonal demand affects availability. A room that is available during the academic year may have a different summer condition.</p>
<p>Use Študentski domovi UP, the Welcome office, Student Point, private listings, and faculty contacts. Coastal seasonal demand can affect contracts and summer availability.</p>

<h3 class="guide-substage">Nova Gorica, Vipava, Ajdovščina, and Postojna</h3>
<p>Check the country of the accommodation. Living in Italy while studying in Slovenia creates cross-border residence, health, tax, and transport questions. Do not sign before confirming legal implications.</p>

Accommodation in Gorizia is in Italy; confirm residence, health, tax, and commuting implications before signing.</p>
