Comparing Costs of Living in Germany and Switzerland When we talk about the cost of living in European countries, most of us would say it is very high.

In this article, we are going to do a brief comparison of the costs of living in two neighbouring European countries – Germany and Switzerland.

The monthly expenses of a student in Germany can be around € 850 out of which accommodation costs most as around € 350 a month. Then there are other expenses for food and clothing which is not much. Students are also expected to pay an amount towards semester contribution which is € 250 for six months, on an average. • Apart from these, students also might have to pay some tuition fees and health insurance. Students receive discounts and concessions at many places like cinema, transport, public venues, etc.
Switzerland Switzerland is counted among the most expensive places to live in the world for several years. Thus it is wise to say that the cost of living in Switzerland is very high and out of the scope of an average person. Only house rent may cost you around 3500 Swiss Francs (~€3000) a month. Apart from that, there are several other expenditures like food, utilities, education, health, transport, etc. which are nowhere near affordable. All in all, we can say that Switzerland is a quite expensive country to live in.
