The cost of living for students in Konstanz is approximately 987 euros per month*.
The basis for this is, among other things, the 22nd Social Survey of the German Student Union ("Deutsches Studierendenwerk e.V." or "DSW") from 2021. This social survey revealed the following average living costs per month in Konstanz:
| Rent (including utilities) | 409 euros* |
| Food | 194 euros |
| Phone, Internet, broadcasting fees | 29 euros |
| Clothing, laundry, personal hygiene | 40 euros |
| Learning materials (books, copies) | 28 euros |
| Medical care, medicine | 97 euros |
| Leisure time, culture and sports | 60 euros |
| Health and nursing care insurance | 130 euros |
| Total | 987 euros* |
* Since 2021, rental and ancillary costs in particular have risen significantly nationwide. Unfortunately, however, there are no more recent survey values at this point in time that would be based on a representative survey. Therefore, based on our experience here on site in Constance and the surrounding area, we would like to recommend that you please budget an average of around 150 euros more per month, especially for your rent and incidental costs.
