"Every week, students and their families face costs that do far more damage than fees but rarely make headlines. For students living at home, annual costs average €6,000, covering transport, food, books and social expenses."
"For those who must move away, costs nearly double to €12,000 or more, with accommodation alone often costing €6,000-€8,000."
Students in higher education increasingly face significant living expenses that overshadow tuition fees. Families managing these costs often spend around €6,000 annually for students living at home, which includes essential expenses like transport, food, and social activities. For those relocating to attend college, expenses are substantially higher, reaching averages of €12,000 or more, with accommodation costs alone ranging from €6,000 to €8,000. These escalating living expenses challenge students' ability to focus and succeed academically, making financial stress a crucial issue in higher education.
