Cost of Living
Compared to some other European countries, the cost of living in Germany is rather low. The standard cost of living for students amounts to 680 euros per month, but of course this varies depending on the individual lifestyle.
In order to facilitate your payments easily we recommend to open a bank account in Germany (for students at no cost).
