How do you cover your cost of living as a student in Germany?
Based on student experiences, finding scholarships to cover your cost of living in Germany is highly competitive and limited. While public universities generally charge low tuition fees, your living expenses for accommodation, food, and insurance still require a significant budget. For your visa, you'll need a blocked account (Sperrkonto), and many students finance their studies by working part-time jobs, often as a Werkstudent (working student).
