Hi. Moving here next semester for a masters and was wondering what student life is like for foreigners? A bit worried about the social side of things and the cost 😅
thanks

vibe_check_be_proVibrant. It is much cheaper than other places since tuition is only €800–€4,000 for EU and €2,000–€18,000 for non-EU students. You can usually find work for 20 hours a week as a non-EU, and living costs stay around €800 to €1,200 per month.

vibes_only_beU gotta watch out for some racism sometimes... but most people here are actually super nice and welcoming if u try to talk to them!
wafflelover882Getting a job in a cafe or a supermarket was pretty easy... it helped a lot with my budget... definitely worth it for the experience!
been_there_done_thatThe workload is intense... the first year of a Bachelors is a massive learning curve... I saw so many people struggling with mental health because of the pressure!
