Do I need a lot of money to stay in Germany

It’s true that shifting to a new country can be exciting and challenging at the same time.  But good news for the students is that Germany is a reasonably priced place for students to live and study. Let’s start answering the above questions.

1. To start with education expenses: Students receive education which is free of tuition fee in public Universities, but you have to pay for the other academic charges. But don’t worry, these charges pay back many benefits or reimbursements such as use of public transport with a semester ticket, discounts on insurance, and other discounts at movie theatres, museums and restaurants. 
2. Accommodation, transportation and food expenses: We have covered the three points individually.

• Accommodation in Germany: Almost all German universities offer student housing which is highly discounted in comparison to the average costs of living in the city. The university student housing usually has different price categories depending on the type of flat you’d like to choose, whether you want to live alone or in a shared accommodation, and which part of the city you’d prefer to live in.
• Food expenses: Germany has some of the most affordable prices for food and groceries particularly at grocery stores in supermarkets or open-air markets. Whereas, prices at restaurants and bars can be more expensive than grocery stores. On average, an amount of 150 – 200 € per month for grocery items can be expected.
• Transportation: A university semester ticket comes with unlimited use of the local public transport system like buses, metro (Ubahn and Sbahn), and trams within a local range usually. However, a student ID entitles you for discounts on transportation throughout Germany as well as throughout Europe.

3.Part-time work opportunities: A student in Germany is generally allowed to do 120 full days or 240 half-days of paid work to help support your stay in Germany.

The general questions asked by many students have been answered but here we are giving a piece of advice too with it. In Germany you ought to speak German. Germans do know English, but to get around the country, it is better to at least have some basic German language skills. In every city or town there will be a language school which offers German language courses but to save money do a beginner’s level from India, which will cost you quite less. YES Germany, one of the best study in Germany consultants, are offering German Language course at a cheaper price this summer season. Call them and ask for details.
