Living Expenses & Accommodation
Living expenses (e.g., rent) vary depending on the cost of accommodation and other personal choices. An estimate of €800 to €900 per month for general living expenses is a realistic calculation for the Frankfurt area.GBS students receive a student card from Goethe University, which provides access to and use of university facilities including reduced prices for meals on campus. Students also have free access to the public transportation in Frankfurt and surrounding area.
There are several accommodation options available to students in the Frankfurt area including student housing facilities offered by various church organizations and other non-profit housing facilities. We recommend strongly that students contact such organizations as soon as they receive notice of acceptance to the program, as these rooms are also in demand. You may find a list of housing options on the Goethe University webpage by clicking here.
