In Germany, rising rent prices are a pressing concern for students, particularly given their limited financial means. A recent study indicates costs for student accommodation have surged in medium-sized university cities, with many exceeding the federal housing allowance. The analysis included 88 cities housing the majority of Germany’s university students, revealing that cities like Munich, Berlin, and Hamburg have the highest average rents, thus making it increasingly difficult for low-income students to afford housing. While prices in some cities have stabilized, overall trends indicate a concerning rise in accommodation costs for students.
Rising rent prices significantly affect students in Germany, where most accommodation costs exceed federal housing allowances, making financial survival increasingly difficult for low-income families.
The analysis covered all 88 cities with university locations in Germany, reflecting the rental experiences of over 90% of the country's 2.7 million university students.
Munich, Berlin, and Hamburg are among the cities with the highest average rent prices for student housing, with Munich seeing a rise from €750 to €800 monthly.
In Berlin, average student accommodation prices remain stable at €650 per month, while Hamburg reports a slight increase to €610, further straining student budgets.
