The cost of living for students in Konstanz is approximately 789 euros per month*.
The basis for this is, among other things, the 21st Social Survey of the German Student Union ("Deutsches Studierendenwerk e.V." or "DSW") from 2016; unfortunately, a more up-to-date one is not yet available. This social survey revealed the following average living costs per month in Konstanz:
| Rent (including utilities) | 352 euros* |
| Food | 168 euros |
| Clothing, laundry, personal hygiene | 42 euros |
| Learning materials (books, copies) | 20 euros |
| Health and nursing care insurance, medical care, medicine | 115 euros |
| Phone, Internet, broadcasting fees | 31 euros |
| Leisure time, culture and sports | 61 euros |
| Total | 789 euros* |
* Since 2016, 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. According to the timetable of the initiative "one for all – The Student Survey in Germany" of the DSW, new findings and figures are not to be expected until early 2023 at the earliest. 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 350 euros more per month, especially for your rent and incidental costs.
