Why Berlin?
The cost of
living in Berlin
Berlin is a multicultural city that boasts an ever-expanding student population.
One of the reasons for this increasing popularity is Berlin’s low costs, making it
one of the most affordable cities in Europe to live and study in.
In addition to its rich history and thriving business scene, Berlin offers cheap rents
and living expenses which are generally lower than other places in Germany and
other popular student destinations such as London, Sydney and Toronto. With the
added benefit of low tuition fees as compared to the rest of the EU, USA and
Canada, it’s no wonder so many students flock to this vibrant city every year.
