Where to study: cities with universities
Choose the city after the programme, not instead of it: public universities charge no tuition almost everywhere, so the difference between cities is mostly the cost of living. Below is what each city offers — universities, programmes and Studienkollegs.

How much a month costs
A student's living costs per month: rent, health insurance and everyday costs. «From» is the cheapest option — a place in a dormitory; with a room in a WG it is more. A semester is six months.
