Living costs, accomodation and study fees
Living in Munich
Munich is the attractive and dynamic capital of Bavaria with more than 1.5 million inhabitants, a high standard of living, many strong international companies and three large universities.
Consequently, cost of living (accommodation, food and entertainment) is higher than in other cities in Germany.
Prospective students should think early how they are going to finance their studies.
| Costs of living | Per month |
|---|---|
| Accommodation | €450-800 |
| Insurance | €125 |
| Mobile phone | €50 |
| Food | €250 |
| Further costs (laundry, copies, entertainment, medicine) | €100 |
| Total | €975-1350 |
Munich is well-known for having the highest accommodation prices in Germany. The main reason is that Munich is a very attractive city with a high standard of living and high-paying jobs.
Unfortunately, this means that it is quite difficult to find appropriate and inexpensive accommodation for students.
Waiting time for a student dormitory is often 3-4 semesters!
