Ask HanzeMag: How expensive is life in Groningen? 

Thx for the information @hanzemag, this is the summary: Housing 350-400/month Groceries 152/month Clothes 58/month Bike 50 Public Transport 48/month Leisure 130/month Mobile 32/month Insurance 80-120/month

An inspiring and exciting city, we have so much to learn from Groningen. We've just filmed a 4k walk through the city in the hope of spreading it's beauty around a bit. Thanks for adding this informative video, I look forward to seeing more from you.

Update of prices for housing: it is almost impossible to find a room somewhere in Groningen and often they are pretty small and cost about 700 euros or more

those were really good informations. Thank you Im applying soon. Wish me luck :D

152€ for groceries per month? That makes about 4,50€ a day, and lunch at the Harmo or Academy building is already 5,50€......4,50€ does not even get you a lunch salad at AH, so thaaat does not add up

Don't forget to mention that during your first months as an international, you'll either be homeless or paying 100 euros per night for a hotel/hostel, since finding student accommodation is nearly impossible. Consider yourself lucky if you've found your first accommodation by December, and be prepared to pay 700+ euros per month for a small room with shared facilities. The University doesn't care though, as long as they receive their tuition fees

Thank you for this great video! Excellent!!!

my dreams of studying in Groeningen, just flew out of the window

This is funny to me. I've been looking at a university in Barcelona and to share an apartment with four other students is up to like 1200/month. I guess expense is all relative.

Yes your right. I was in groningen for Christmas. I love the fish market.

Thank you so much for this video!! I will try to be less 'broke' there XD

I am still wondering which one I should do. Student house or Apartment. I like my privacy alot and value time by myself But i don't want to screw up my uni experience, you know?

Going to Groningen for my Masters studies this September, Wish me luck :)

I have a skateboard Probably will use that instead of a bike

I want to study in Groningen, but I am concerned about my financial situation. Will I be able to save up some money besides my expenses? I will work next to my study..

Expense seems a little higher than in Rome..

London in the uk is way more

80-120 euro for Insurance? are you living in the mafia or what? Is it health insurance?

If you want a apparment you pay at least 900€ for a 2 room appartment.

I am going to get an admit here soon. Drop a message if you are already there or going to be there next year

It’s ridiculously expensive to live here, if you’re an international like myself then make sure you have some money behind you or some ultra wealthy parents before you come. I had neither of those things and learned the hard way.

is there any update for price in 2020? thank you

Is it a must to have their insurance? I have insurance in my home country which covers overseas medical. so do I need it? I could say a lot

Are you dreaming, housing for 350.....nothing is less than 700

Are you mexican ?
