The cost of living will of course depend on the individual situation (and tastes). In the following we would like to give you an impression what living in Dortmund costs:
| Monthly rent | The cheapest option is to live in student dormitories, because the rent includes electricity, heating and internet. But the student dormitories have just a limited number of rooms, which are very coveted. | ca. 200 - 400 € |
| Living expenses | By this are meant expenses for food, internet, mobile, learning materials, clothing, etc. For some expenses there are special offers especially for students. Moreover, in Dortmund, there are a lot of supermarkets, where you can buy food at reasonable cost ('Aldi', 'Lidl', 'Netto', 'Penny', etc.). Please see here. |
ca. 350 € |
| Health insurance | For every person in Germany a health insurance is compulsory. | ca. 105 € |
| Public transport | As a student, you do not have to pay for local public transportation, because you have got the 'Semesterticket' (included in your social fee). With the 'Semester ticket', you are entitled to travel for free (with a few restrictions) within the German federal state of North-Rhine-Westphalia. | 0 € (travelling in NRW) |
|
between 650 and 850 € |
